An exceptional experience was had, renting out my property through this estate agents. From start to finish, the service was nothing short of outstanding. From the first contact with Mark Smith, who went above and beyond at every step of the rental process to Nikki Bennett and Steffi Hughes who were also available to offer advice, answer questions, and provide updates. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble. The whole team’s professionalism, knowledge, and approachable nature made the entire experience smooth and stress-free. What really stood out was their commitment to customer service. They genuinely care, and it shows in every interaction. I felt supported, informed, and confident throughout. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mark and the team to anyone who is looking for trustworthy, proactive, and top-tier estate agents. A truly five-star experience.
Thank you Susan for your amazing review, we all truly appreciate your kind words. Best Wishes Mark Smith Managing Director

We’ve been with Smith & Friends in Middles for a year now, and the experience has been absolutely fantastic. Nikki has been an absolute star, professional, proactive, and incredibly attentive. She goes above and beyond to ensure everything runs smoothly, always keeping us informed and handling any issues promptly and efficiently. Her attention to detail and dedication have given us complete peace of mind, knowing our property and tenants are in the best hands. We can’t recommend her and the team highly enough!
Thank you Lisa for your 5 star review of our Middlesbrough team and in particular Nikki. She will be delighted to read your kind words. Kind regards Mark Smith Managing Director

Organised and professional
Owning a portfolio, I spread the management across three agencies. Smith & Friends is certainly organised and professional. The departments are very well structured and the customer service is excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending their services.

Very good customer service
Very helpful staff at the Middlesbrough branch, especially after the sale was agreed when there were so many questions that needed answering and advice that was needed. They chased up the other professions and kept everyone informed in a timely manner. Special thanks to Elaine, Charlotte and Leah.

Ou experience with this estate agent…
Ou experience with this estate agent was exceptional and significantly superior to others. Craig came to our first meeting very well prepared, He had researched the area and the selling details of current and recent similar properties. He suggested a significantly higher selling price that two other local agents. We had almost twenty viewings in the next week. All managed by S&Fs, we accepted an offer that was more than ten percent higher than the other agents suggested. They were efficient, helpful and professional throughout. I highly recommend

Helpful, Steph in particular went out of her way to chivvy things along when my solicitors appeared to be dragging their heels. Steph gave me a lot of support with what was, for me, a very stressful purchase.
