Excellent Customer Service
Whyte & Barrie's staff, particularly Nicole and Andrew, have been praised for their exceptional service. They have been described as friendly, helpful, and efficient in resolving valuation issues and providing quality home reports.
Valuation Issues and Professionalism
On the other hand, some customers have expressed dissatisfaction with the company's performance in areas outside of South Lanarkshire. There have been instances of unprofessional behavior, lack of knowledge, and poor valuation practices, which have resulted in the collapse of sales and negative experiences for clients.
Unacceptable Behavior
One surveyor's behavior has been deemed unacceptable, with allegations of inappropriate comments and requests, making the client feel uncomfortable and uneasy during the survey. This has led to a loss of trust and a strong warning against using Whyte & Barrie's services.
