Wasted my time

Let me try again... since Im not allowed to use the agents name and give the public my honest feedback about the experience I had with this Agent

I had an extremely unprofessional and frustrating experience with + Group Properties & (The Agent Whos name Im not allowed to mention) regarding a rental property. I viewed the property on Sunday, 18 January. On the spot, I clearly informed the agent that I wanted the property and was willing to pay the deposit immediately to secure it. I was told this was not possible and that I had to follow the application process. I submitted my completed application with all required documentation first thing on Monday, 19 January. Despite this, I received no feedback, no updates, and no communication from the agent for the entire day. On Tuesday, after still hearing nothing, I took it upon myself to contact the credit department directly. They confirmed that my application was successful and that they were waiting on the agent, who had not responded to their calls or messages either. Later, I was informed that there had already been an application from the previous week, with final documents submitted on Saturday, 17 January — before I even viewed the property. This raises serious questions: Why was I taken to view the property? Why was I encouraged to apply? Why was I ignored for three days while the agent knew the property was effectively already taken? To make matters worse, I received an email on Tuesday, 20 January, congratulating me and confirming that the property was mine, only to be told on Wednesday that the property had already been taken by someone else on Monday. When I raised my concerns, the agent’s response was dismissive and unprofessional, stating that I could “email and complain” This experience wasted my time, raised false expectations, and showed a complete lack of communication, transparency, and professionalism.

Dont get your hopes up when working with them....

Hi Sloane

Your review is noted.
As per my email and per telephonic discussion you had with the head of our rentals - please note that the other application had not been approved at time of your viewing.  It was only approved on the Monday after you had submitted your paperwork.
At that point we were waiting for the landlord's approval on the first application - which came through shortly after your application had been approved.

We apologize for the inconvenience caused to you - but our company policy is for every tenant to be vetted and approved before accepting deposit payments.

Kind regards
Michelle

Reviewer Update
I understand that I have to be vetted, but give me the opportunity to be vetted after I told you I will take the Place. Point is I was willing to pay for you to keep the property on hold for me while I'm being vetted (That was successful as I said it will be)
