I have used Smith and friends for a number of years for our rental properties. They have successfully sourced tenants of a good calibre and who still remain tenants . Recently Nikki and Richard smoothly brought a new rental to the market, sourced good calibre tenants once again. . I would have no hesitation in recommending Smith and friends for renting, selling or buying

I have recently used Smith & Friends, Middlesbrough, and I had the most amazing experience. Nikki went above and beyond and she made me feel at ease, which helped the move run smoothly. Any of my queries, she was on the ball with. I would definitely recommend using Smith & Friends, whether you're thinking of buying or renting. 10 out of 10 experience.

Smith and Friends Hartlepool

I moved from Birmingham to Hartlepool. We bought a house through Smith and Frinds in Hartlepool. I was really concerned about being so far away through the process and not being able to liase in person, however i need not have worried. I was kept inormed every step of the way, first by Joanne and then as things progressed, by Rachel. All of my questions and queries were answered and things ran very smoothly for us. Thank you to all the team at Smith and Friends.

Outstanding - helpful, kind & professional!

I recently worked with Manj and his team for a house purchase. I cannot recommend this agency enough! Manj was considerate and kept me updated promptly, working on my behalf to ensure a smooth transaction. No question was too trivial for him to answer and as a first time buyer, this kind of help was invaluable - he really is a credit to the agency. I also briefly dealt with Rachel at a stressful time in the transaction, who was incredibly kind and helpful - she made the entire situation much easier to navigate. I cannot recommend the team highly enough, they are hard working and actually make you feel as if they have the best interests of the buyer in mind - which is rare to find. Thank you so much.

Blocked my driveway , politely asked to move but ignored me to go inside a clients house for hours , couldn't get my car on the drive and there is no where else to park.

***UPDATE*** From your photo I have identified the driver and spoken to him. He said he spoke a person at a neighbouring property as Mark explained he would be there for no more than 10 minutes to scan the outside of the property with the virtual tour camera. He never entered the property so your review is factually incorrect. We also have a tracker record on the vehicle and will be able to show you the time it was parked there. I look forward to hearing from you. I do apologise for any inconvenience caused but I don’t think your review reflects what I have been advised by my manager. Kind regards Mark Smith Managing Director Hi John, please can you contact me, marksmith@smith-and-friends.co.uk I don’t know which property this relates to due to the insufficient information provided. I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards Mark Smith Managing Director

10/10 from Abby at Smith & Friends in Darlington she was amazing throughout the sale of our house. She made the whole process so much more stress-free and smooth. Any problems we had were sorted within the hour, and she kept us updated regularly. You can really see how passionate she is about her job, she truly goes above and beyond. We couldn’t have asked for better support and would highly recommend her! Thank you again Abby.

Used these to sell my home in Normanby, got the job done seamlessly even with difficulties down the chain Elaine just kept plugging away and got the result needed. Communication (most important in my experience) was spot on, always kept up to date and in the latter stages of the sale absolutely everything was relayed with speed and accuracy. Can't reccomend them enough

No stress or hassle

I bought a property this year through the Hartlepool branch of Smith & Friends. As a buyer, I found them to be professional, courteous and knowledgeable throughout the whole process and always happy to answer any questions. If the time ever comes for me to sell, I will keep them in mind.

Rachel and Nicola made my Christmas!!

The whole team (Hartlepool) were great from start to finish. A special mention to Rachel and Nicola who kept me informed throughout and even chased a troublesome solicitor/ builder every day for me to ensure I moved in as early as possible. Thankyou for your dedication and tenacity. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! 🥳
