TrustpilotSurpassed all expectations
My husband has worked in Somerset for a few years and did a weekly work commute, since lockdown l have worked at home which l can do with more permanency & it opened up the possibility of relocating from Aldershot. We put our house on the market in July with nothing to loose and savings to be gained with the Stamp Duty holiday. We had only been in the property 2 years when we put it on the market!! I have had mixed experiences of estate agents and l have high expectations of the service l expect especially if we are paying. I also do not mince my words and say exactly how l feel & the agents doing the valuations were under no illusion that l would be a challenging customer!!Tom Knight came after a few other agents and we thought, here we go - larger than life wide boy making all kinds of promises!! But we took a shine to him & we had nothing to loose so we took a punt. Tom is an exemplar of customer service from day one he was available, he communicated & he was honest. He found our buyers within 3 weeks of our valuation, given we were in a new build just over 2 years we still made a small margin. Then the hard work began!! Our buyers were first time buyers and naive to the house selling process but Tom was AMAZING. He showed patience and hand held them through step by step. All whilst managing me & my expectations! His dedication to the customer, his honest appraisal of the housing market means he is skilled in his craft. I can only give a 5 star review as that’s all it allows but if l could l would give more. I fully endorse Mackenzie Smith but in particular Tom Knight from the Aldershot branch. I’d also like to say thanks to Ally in the branch too as he had to listen to me stress on the phone on a number of occasions!Thank you Tom for absolutely everything, and we look forward to seeing you in Somerset for a cider soon!

TrustpilotThough the Manager was known to me
Though the Manager was known to me, this was the first time that I have used Mackenzie Smith. I was impressed with the professionalism of the team, readiness to take and pass messages without delay and provide feedback following viewing. Arranging video viewings is a new feature to me but it obviously worked. Post agreement on the letting, all the paperwork was handled smoothly and certainly to my satisfaction. It remains to be seen what the tenants will be like but first impression was very positive so thank you Mackenzie Smith.

TrustpilotHouse selling.
We needed to sell, during Covid.Some Estate Agents, weren't answering their phones. Others, hadn't got much of a clue about their client requirement's, "oh I don't know, we are working from home, you know, I don't have access to that information." Not prepared to find it either.Sixth try, "Hello Mackenzies-Smith." I go through the by now well rehearsed question."I'll put you on to Justin", repeated the question."Yes" said Justin, "I have just the couple you need".Justin came to see the house, it was just as I described. Buyers, introduced to sellers, everything has gone smoothly, from our point of view. Been kept well informed of progress by Justin.

TrustpilotThank you Justin and the whole MS team!
Justin Smith looked after James and I for our house purchase. As first time buyers, we were new to the whole experience of house buying, and Justin helped us throughout every step from offer to completion - staying in touch frequently, keeping us updated with developments, helping us to find solicitors/surveyors/advisers, and remaining transparent with us at all times. Justin and his team went above and beyond for us, making the whole daunting process much easier/less stressful and we cannot thank them enough for helping us to buy our first ever dream home. Thank you!!!

TrustpilotEasy transaction; fantastic client manager
I chose Mackenzie Smith not for the company, but for the client manager who I instructed when he was at a previous company. I basically followed him to his new employer. David is an old school estate agent, he’s knowledgable about the area, friendly, personable and most importantly experienced, with many years under his belt. You feel enormous confidence when dealing with him and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend his services to anyone looking to sell a house.

Thank you for the kinds words, Navpreet. It's always great to hear when your hard work is appreciated!This letting presented challenges and there was a lot to get completed, so even I was surprised we managed a four-day turn around! However, we threw everything we had at it and we pulled it off.We are so happy this has all fallen into place for you, especially after the last home you had lined up fell through the day before move in. It is a rewarding feeling to be in a position where I can help families who need it. All the best in your new home, I hope you are all enjoying it there. Thank you, too, for my unexpected gift, it was very kind of you.Kind Regards,Andrew TraversSenior Lettings Manager

From the first phone call enquiring about the property and throughout the entire rental process, Andrew was so pleasant and helpful. He seems like a very genuine person and so easy to engage with. I have previously found renting to be a very stressful experience, however not this time due to Andrews help. I am grateful to be renting through Mackenzie Smith.

TrustpilotVery Highly Recommended
We have dealt with all the agents in Ash Vale, at different times over the last 4 years, whilst trying to sell two local properties, but only McKenzie Smith have ever delivered.During lock down the managing director, Steve Tetlow, took over our sale and gave us good advice and support, often out of hours.Once back from furlough, Jason was quick to match us with a buyer and guided us through the whole process to completion. McKenzie Smith advise, without pressurising, so that you are in control. In short, McKenzie Smith, at Ash Vale, are professional, friendly, efficient and communicative. They provide good value for the money for a very professional service and nothing is too much trouble for any of the team.We would like to thank Steve for all the advice and help he gave us during lock down and say a special thank you to Jason for securing a serious buyer.

We were particularly impressed with Nick who worked collaboratively with our solicitor to ensure that our long chain didn't collapse and that an exchange happened. He communicated with us throughout till the very end which was really reassuring. Thank you to the team for all your hard work, much appreciated.

TrustpilotExcellent Service and Very Professional
I would like to thank Paul Hillyer from the Fleet branch for all the help that he has given us with buying our house. Paul was welcoming, professional, and treated us with utmost kindness. He provided us with a seamless tour through the property and detailed all the factors regarding the house with an inspiring enthusiasm and passion. He was able to answer all of our questions we had on the day and our second and final viewing was an hour long so we had lots to fire at him. Once we made our offer he was considerate to come back to us in a timely manner and we felt that he did an excellent job liaising between us and the person selling the house. We could not recommend his services more

TrustpilotHighly recommended agency
Absolutely amazing agency. I could not have hope for better services from Nick Kirby (Senior Manager). Very professional and very good communication during our sale and always felt in good / safe hands. Very helpful, so patient answering all my questions and believe me I had plenty of them. In hardest moment he was so amazingly supportive. I would say great professional service with human touch and understanding. It was not only about ticking all boxes. I recommended this agency to everybody and I wish them to be helped by Nick Kirby. He is friendly, efficient and always always on top of things! Very impressed with the service and attention to detail.These are difficult times for all but it makes such a difference when Nick is thinking ahead and makes sure everything works like a clockwork despite challenging times and delays. I would highly recommend Mackenzie Smith agency, I have experience with other agencies, but so far the Mackenzie Smith is the best. Fast responding and problem solving, very friendly people.

TrustpilotFantastic service as always!
Stephen Down has been amazing throughout the whole selling process. This is the second time we have used Stephen for a property transaction and - as before - he was efficient, contactable, knowledgeable, open and honest throughout. His attitude and client care was highlighted especially during this transaction as the other sides estate agents were not so quick to respond. Stephen was always pleased to chase things up; even when it wasn’t his job. He is always keen to help wherever he can. We will have no hesitations in using Stephen again in the future. We highly recommend mckenzie Smith.

TrustpilotHorrendous
Horrendous. Based on experience with Jason Bowden at Ash Vale branch. He does not act in his sellers best interests. I spotted property I eventually purchased when it appeared on Rightmove. Despite my being on Mckenzie Smith books and my having sold I was not informed of this property in my desired area. Jason had arranged for sellers of property he’d sold to view and they were coming back for a second viewing. I had to insist on being allowed to view too. I was told McKenzie Smith give preference to people properties they’ve sold . This was despite me being in a much stronger position and therefore a better bet for the seller who their supposed to represent. Of course this doesn’t guarantee them their two commissions if they can tie it up. Jason also was totally unprofessional and criticised the seller to me as ‘causing trouble’ and making the solicitors McKenzie Smith had recommended less likely to engage! His idea of chasing things through was to e mail buyer or sellers solicitors for updates and then say he’d had no response. My seller conducted all bar one of his own viewings and told me Jason wanted him to accept the other offer albeit mine was stronger. On completion day my solicitor advised me to contact the office but I just got a message saying they were busy so again we cut out the middle man, McKenzie Smith, and buyer and seller sorted it. The seller paid fees for very very little. Additionally I was staggered when I tried to place my offer Jason was too busy in an internal meeting and would ring me back when he had time.

We re delighted with how quickly James and his team found a buyer for our house who paid the price we were expecting to get. All arrangements for getting the house on the market and managing viewings went very well. Despite COVID19 issues the sale proceeded though to completion as quickly as could be expected under the circumstances. James and the team have been very professional, friendly and communicated with us well.
