GoogleWe had a very tight turn around, Chad From S J Smith Calmed us down and worked very professionally, explaining how to streamline the process, to the point where we, as first time buyers, took all his advice. We got the keys 2 weeks before we needed to vacate our existing property. Very good communicator,

GoogleMy husband and I were first time home buyers and we bought towards the end of 2020 from a family who was represented by S J Smith. Thy were professional, quick to respond and helpful through every step of the process which had a lot of ups and downs due to various other factors. Special shoutout to Nicola/Louis who were the people we personally dealt with - you guys are awesome!

GoogleWhether buying or selling, Simon and his people are Agents you can trust absolutely to work in your best interest. The whole team are simply brilliant.
Pricing was flawless; enthusiasm, execution, detail, reportage and negotiating skills second to none. We had a firm offer on our property within two weeks of their appointment as our Agent. Because of Covid and the ramifications around timing amd pricing, closing the deal took a little longer, with the whole team persisting tirelessly and with great creativity to square a pretty big circle.
So pleased, couldnβt recommend them highly enough!PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleI was extremely happy with the service I received from the beginning; with Louis and Chad who looked after the negotiation and sale of the property, right through to the completion of the sale with Nicola. Nicola was incredibly efficient with all of the paperwork which needed completing, and continued to keep me updated and in the loop throughout the process. She was helpful and offered exceptional customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and would use them again in the future.

GoogleSJ Smith are second to none. They were recommended to me by word of mouth and I was not disappointed. From start to finish they made light work of selling my property. The house sold within 3 weeks of going on the market straight after the first lift of lock-down. Nicola worked tirelessly together with my Solicitor (recommended by SJ Smith - very impressive) to ensure the rest of the chain kept a tight ship. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending SJ Smith myself. Their responses were always quick, nothing was ever too much trouble and I was made to feel a VIP. Huge thanks to Chad, Nicola, Rob, Karen & Louis.PositiveResponsiveness, Quality, Professionalism, Value

GoogleExcellent, friendly, professional and hard working Estate Agents. We have used them twice as a purchaser in 2018 and as a seller in 2024. Chad marketed our home and sold it for us in 5 days! Simon has kept us informed throughout the sale process and chased the chain. Very happy to recommend SJ Smith.

GoogleCanβt recommend them enough. This property was the 5th I have bought and by far the best agent I have dealt with. Frankie was great at keeping me in the loop and actually listened to what I wanted! Unlike others that constantly send you details of properties which arenβt right at all. Once accepted the team were fantastic at keeping me and my solicitor informed and now very happy to be in.PositiveResponsiveness, Professionalism, Value

GoogleRare that I leave reviews, but felt compelled to in this case. Chad and his team are straight talking, honest & professional. From initial valuation, to marketing, sale and completion, Chad guided me through the whole process. His communication is second to none, and could not respond sooner to emails/texts/calls. There simply is no better in Ashford. Would not hesitate to use again.

GoogleI worked with Chad, Louis and Nicola on the selling of my property in Ashford, and the purchase of a new property with them also. They are honest, decent professionals that have a lovely friendly approach and I cannot recommend them enough. I dealt with other estate agents in the area, with tough sales pitches, and sometimes forcing properties on us, but SJ Smith only contacted us with properties we would like; also they took amazing pictures of my property which really made it easy and quick to sell for a good price in this market! Thanks all! Sindy & James

GoogleFrom the very first contact Chad and the team have been fantastic. Friendly, supportive and ever professional, every step of the way to buying a house has ensured things have run smoothly and kept us well informed.
We were able to see a good selection of houses, with different potentials, and we felt valued and listen to as a client. Chad understood what we wanted, and our budget, and ultimately found the perfect property for us.
Highly recommend.

GoogleSjSmith and in particular Chad Newbould have been excellent in achieving a sale on behalf of my daughter. Despite some challenging difficulties, not of their making, they have been conscientious and dedicated in providing regular contact, updates and accesibility. I would highly recommend them as an Estate agent, who clearly have their clients at heart.

GoogleI had a seamless experience purchasing a property through SJ Smith's Ashford Branch. Chad was exceptionally helpful from the get go and was always quick to respond, he actually personally recommended the property I bought to me and it was an absolute gem so I'm very grateful to him. I'd also like to thank his colleague Nicola for all her assistance throughout the process. SJ Smith are a class act and I would have no hesitation in using them again.

GoogleI have been working with many real estate agencies in the area over the last years and my experience with them has been awful! In terms of how they conduct business, in terms of service (talking with 3 different people for one property with no mobiles), in terms of communication (very impolite). STAY AWAY, there are numerous other agencies in the area.

GoogleChad Newbould and the team at SJ Smith's handled an apartment sale for us during Lockdown (2020). We were selling an inherited property at a distance, and they dealt with the challenges of this situation and the difficulties of this period very professionally. They were also excellent in responding to our needs, both large and relatively small issues that arose.
