3 properties with Global investments

We purchased 2 properties in Cleveland last year we have just completed on our 3rd property in Detroit. At first we were a little skeptical that we would receive the promised returns as in this day and age nothing ever seems to be guaranteed but we needn’t have worried at all!!! The whole team have been so helpful, Barrie has been there throughout the process always answering any questions in a professional manner and John has kept us updated constantly during the purchase process. We are really happy with how our investments are performing and hope expand our portfolio further in the coming months.

Having bought a house in Detroit a number of years ago Mike was the natural choice to do the sale. Unfortunately our circumstances had changed and he was great at keeping us calm and ensuring everything was organised. Both myself and my husband are quite demanding and Mike did a great job of getting us a great price for our property and also enabled us to sell our property within a matter of weeks. Very much appreciated.

We had a lot of ups and downs in buying a property in the U.S. and we had difficulty finding a good agent we trusted and was recommended Global Investments by a management company in Cleveland. The staff at Global did not rush us into buying something that wasn't quite right. They were very patient and helpful.

Myself and my fiancé bought our first buy to let overseas property through Global Investments. Everyone had told us it can be a bit of a nightmare, for us it was anything but!! From our first call with Scott it was an absolute breeze, Scott was fantastic throughout the entire period. He was always on hand for advice and guidance and was with us right up to handover. We could not recommend all of the Global team highly enough and would strongly advise any potential new buyers to find them a property

Buyer Beware...

I regret that this real estate agent still remains unwilling to return the finders fee (or even offer part thereof) iro a specific service that was not concluded. At law, and in this instance, the contract of sale was simply not satisfied. In short, I believe that it is unethical for a real estate agent to withhold client money for a selected property that was no longer unavailable. Why on earth should a client be press-ganged into selecting alternative, more expensive properties ? It is simply unethical and runs contrary to the principle of 'Treating Customers Fairly'.

The company states

'The fee you paid is still on account and can be utilised at any time'.

Consequently, as i dont have USD60,000+ in my back pocket to buy US social housing in these difficult economic times, i would again request that the company returns my monies in order to finally conclude this matter on an amical basis.

Dear John,

The content of your posting is factually incorrect and we have already addressed this matter with you on many occasions as you reserved the property with us a DECADE ago ?

You did reserve a property 10 years ago in Detroit and the purchase did not proceed for matters outside of our control. Situations like this can happen which is why this is stated in our reservation agreement ) In May 2013 we offered you an alternative property which you declined. At the point of reservation we made it clear to you both verbally and in writing that the fee was only transferable as per our documentation and not refundable.

This matter arose again five years later in October 2018 and we did respond to you and clarified our position was the same, that the fee you paid five years previously was still non refundable and only transferable.

I am not sure why you are posting this review now as another five years have surpassed but we would still like to offer you the opportunity to move forward with a US property if you so desire.

We are one of the largest Overseas Listing Agents for US properties and the majority of our properties are exclusive, we do sometimes share our listings with other Agents we work with.

If you would now like to proceed with a property purchase I would be more than happy to send you a selection of our best properties in Detroit and also Cleveland is an option now.

The fee you paid is still on account and can be utilised at any time.

Overall John I am not really sure why you are posting a review at all. 10 years on and let alone a 1 star review but as I said we are more than happy to help you find a property.

Thanks again

John

Would highly recommend

Everyone I spoke to at Global were fantastic through the whole process and went above and beyond, even after the sale was agreed. So flexible and always available even at evenings and weekends. Barrie is a lovely guy and a straight talking honest person. Prompt in all aspects. Highly knowledgeable in both the property and the area he is selling. Always on hand to take your call and follow up on any queries you have. Would recommend.

Nice to hear from you Shauna and glad we met your expectations. On the flip side its also nice from our side to work with people who understand things can sometimes take time to get right rather than rushing into things. The end result is the priority. Thanks again, John

Cleveland property purchase

We had been looking to make an investment in the USA for a while but the right opportunity had not come along. We first discovered Global Investments in late 2022 when we enquired regarding properties in Detroit. Barrie was our main point of contact and after reviewing the investment options available we decided that properties in Cleveland would be more suited to our needs, as returns were higher. Barrie was very knowledgeable on the US property market and also introduced us to the accountant who helped set up our LLC. We completed on the purchase of our duplex property in March and we are now receiving our rental income. I would highly recommended Global investments and we hope to make more purchases in the future.

I recently bought a property and had a great experience. From start to finish all the team was professional giving me all the details/concerns needed and asked for.
A special mention to Barrie for answering all my questions without pressure and made the entire process easy.
An honest and professional company that I can only recommend.
