A company that offers a car dealership reviews service is to start offering reviews of estate agents.

JudgeService, which has offered a car dealership reviews service for the past seven years and claims to be used by over 1,000 dealerships, will unveil its latest venture at the inaugural Housing Digital event at Rudding Park in Harrogate on February 27.

The service promises to conduct surveys among house buyers  and sellers, and use the data to provide estate agents with an insight into their customer service offering.

JudgeService’s estate agency arm will be headed up by business development manager Steve Henning, who was previously area director in the north-east for Countrywide (Bairstow Eves) for more than 13 years.

More recently he has worked as operations director for Jan Forster Estates, and as a Local Property Expert for Purplebricks.

Henning said: “JudgeService’s track record working with leading automotive brands means we are well placed to enter the property market with thorough knowledge of customer data gathering and online reviews.

“The housing sector has seen many industry disrupters emerge in recent years, meaning estate agents have to be ahead of the curve to attract customers and sell properties in a crowded marketplace.

“JudgeService is able to offer estate agents a means of placing the house seller and the house buyer at the heart of their process with customer service insight and actionable feedback.”
