GoogleBeen with S J Smiths as a tenant for over a year now. Haven't really had many issues with the place, a couple of occasions we've had to ring twice to remind about something, but other than that it's been smooth. Everyone we've spoken to seems down to earth and helpful.
Special shout out to Jay Hobbs, he's been a great help recently in securing our 2nd property with them. We've had a change of circumstances with our current rental property meaning we've had to move out.
He showed us a place he thought was a good fit, which we have secured and now don't have to stress about finding somewhere else.

GoogleI recently sold my property through SJ Smith's, and can't recommend them enough. From the moment I met Chad, I knew SJ Smith's were the Estate Agents for me.
He was friendly yet professional and instantly put me at ease about selling my property.
My original sale unfortunately fell through (Through no fault of SJ Smith's) but the team were very quick to organise another open day, which presented a few potential buyers for me. The team talked me through my options and I decided on a 2nd buyer.
I then dealt with Nicola who was a brilliant help. My sale was held up by the buyer's Solicitors, and Nicola & Rob were so helpful with chasing things up, communicating with me every step of the way.
I can't thank Chad, Nicola & Rob enough for everything they did for me! Because of them, I would thoroughly recommend SJ Smith's and will definitely be using them again in the future!

GoogleRobert and Chad dealt with us and we received fantastic service from them. As a first-time buyer, we had no idea of the process but Robert was really helpful and attentive at every step of the way. A very smooth and quick process from start to finish. Robert always replied quickly wherever we enquired about something. We would definitely recommend then to anyone who is looking to buy a property. Once again thank you so much S J Smith Ashford team and specially Robert.

GoogleWe sold our first home and bought the next with the fantastic help of SJSmith. Louis, Rob and Nicola were outstanding throughout the whole process, which can of course be a little stressful; they kept us informed with any updates in a timely manner and were professional throughout. On moving day, everything went incredibly smoothly - we are so happy in our new home! We will definitely be recommending SJSmith to our friends/family and wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Thank you so much. Eloise and family.

GoogleI would like to take this opportunity to make people aware of how professional SJ Smith estate agents are. They provided excellent communication skills and the added benefit of being available to their customers until 7pm. They have excellent market knowledge, and are absolutely fantastic in closing deals. They've gone above and beyond to meet my Dad's needs and have exceeded his expectations. With a guiding hand they've helped him immensely to resolve any issues promptly.
They stand out from the rest of the crown. Highly recommend to anyone selling or buying property in the Ashford area.
Well done to all involved.

GoogleSJS marketed my house in Ashford in 2023 when the market had slowed down considerably. They persevered with us and we eventually sold after 8
months. The team were supportive, approachable, well organised and easy to communicate with. SJS were also very supportive during the conveyance process including harmonising communication across the chain which prevented any misunderstandings and ensured things kept moving. Overall, would highly recommend SJS as an estate agent. Grateful to them for getting us through what is In aria leave a difficult experience.

GoogleWe couldn't have asked for a better estate agent than S J Smith team of Ashford branch when we were in the market to buy our first home. They have been the epitome of professionalism, courtesy and patience from the word go.
Right from front end sales people like Louis, who was kind enough to call us back after 1 month after one property we were gunning for fell through, showed us the property that is soon to become our first home. He accommodated multiple viewings of the property, not once showing any signs of complaints.
Once the offer was accepted we were smoothly transitioned from one champ, Louis, to another champ Nicola who was the sales progressor. Nicola has been patient taking out time to answer every question, few borderline silly, never once failing to update us on the progress. You have found your biggest supporter in us Nicola, Louis, Rob and Chad.
Just have a look at their professional video ads they upload onto the websites like Zoopla or on their YT channel. All the homes are neatly presented, there is no sales gimmicks.
We are lucky to have found this team.
Customer service isn't easy, however SJ Smith are beating it day in and day out and this is the reason they deserve my highest recommendation.******* 7 stars.

GoogleUnfortunately my Daughter and her friends have had a bad experience with this company. They took a holding deposit and are now refusing to refund it after telling them they failed the referencing. One of the girls had not even submitted her documents yet so could hardly fail. They have called them liars and have done credit checks on garantors without asking their permission. They also told my Daughter on the phone that the reason for keeping the holding deposit was referencing costs, which is illegal. They are now saying that the 3 friends were aware that they wouldn't get their deposit back, which is untrue. They now have to find somewhere else to rent and pay yet another holding deposit. Be very careful!!
