GoogleHaving spoken to several estate agents to look after our rental property our choice of Penny Smyth Estates was an easy decision. Pennys genuine warmth and professional friendly approach stood out amongst the competition. We have entrusted our rental property in safe hands with Penny, Claire and the team for the past 12 months, during which we had a few maintenance issues that were dealt with immediately and professionally by the team and their numerous trades contacts.
Keep up the great work guys and thank you for all you do. π

GoogleUnfortunately I cannot recommend Penny Smyth Estates. Perhaps these estate agents are great when selling a house, however buying through them was extremely stressful. Our buying process started well, we were impressed with the customer service and attentiveness of the agents at the viewings, however once we hit sale agreed and a few things looked as if they were going wrong the customer service we received quickly took a hit. I felt as though I was a nuisance and was greatly inconveniencing the staff when I rang to ask for updates and I was practically chased off the phone more than once. I understand that estate agents work for the seller, however, I do not believe it is too much of an ask that as a buyer I receive good customer service. I felt great relief upon completion because it meant I no longer needed to hear from or contact these estate agents, I would genuinely avoid using them in the future.

I tried to call you today to respond to your review personally. Buying a home can be complex and issues arise causing delay in the legal process that are out of our control. We have a strong reputation for excellent customer service and what you experienced is not reflective of how we operate. For both buyers and sellers we go above and beyond. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss the nuances of your particular circumstances in person, so feel free to contact me directly any time. We wish you lots of happiness in your new home, Penny.

GoogleAn Excellent service, one where experienced friendly staff made you feel reassured and your property sale was in good hands, couldn't have asked for more with regular updates. Penny and Kerry were excellent, professional photos, brochures and video. Penny and Kerry arranged and took care of all the viewings. 5 Star β©β©β©β©β© service. Anyone wishing to sell their home or buy a new one call Penny Smith Estates.
Highly Recommended
Thank You to all the Penny Smyth Staff

GoogleI was looking to purchase a property listed on their site (which sadly I was unable to complete for outside reasons) but Penny Smyths were so supportive throughout the whole process. As a first time buyer, I really felt like I had my hand held and the team dedicated a lot of time to making sure I felt comfortable and talked me through each step. They are a really fantastic company that I hope to have the pleasure of crossing paths with again! Couldnβt rate them higher in my estimations.

GoogleI wouldnt recommend at all, I found them really underhand and at times unpleasant do deal with. When trying to buy my home and going through the bidding process they told me there was no point making a higher bid on the property because the vendor wouldn't be interested and had decided to sell to another bidder, I was then hurried off the phone. I thought about it overnight and emailed them the following morning with my bid to ensure that they had to put my bid to the vendor. I then received a very snotty email back accusing me of "gazumping" and explaining to me that this was frowned upon. I shouldn't have needed to gazump if they had put my offer to the vendor. After my email they lied and said they couldn't contact the vendor ( Holly actually called me to tell me they were still trying their best to contact him) when in fact I had taken it into my own hands and went to the person's door directly and he told me he had spoken to them and was keen to accept my offer. They were trying to sell the house to a buy to let bidder who was obviously known to them. I couldn't believe how devious they were. I didn't make a complaint because I knew by the way they treated me that they were dishonest and sneaky and I didn't think for one minute that a complaint would be dealt with seriously.

GooglePenny Smyth Estate Agents recently advertised and found a tenant for my commercial property. From start to finish, I was thoroughly impressed with their professionalism, efficiency and excellent communication throughout the entire process. Penny and her team kept me informed every step of the way and made the experience completely stress-free. I have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone looking for a reliable and professional estate agent.

GoogleAbsolutely impeccable service from Penny Smyths estate agents! Penny and Kerry were professional, reliable and supportive from the very start. Offering professional photos, a video and brochure, taking care of all the viewings- it was seamless. Several issues arose relating to the sale that took a bit of time to remedy, and Kerryβs communication was amazing. From contacting relevant people, keeping me informed of outcomes, even when there wasnβt anything new to report. It was so reassuring to know that I hadnβt been forgotten about and it was all being followed up. I would 100% use Penny Smyths estate agents if I was selling a house again and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending their service to anyone.

FacebookCan not recommend Penny Smyth Estates enough. We have experience on both selling and buying through Penny Smyth and can't fault on either side. We had been buying from another agent and was a nightmare, but Penny and Kerry found us a house in area we wanted and the rest is history. A lot of stress but their good humour helped ease the pressure and they kept us going through what felt a lifetime of ups and downs. We would without a doubt use Penny Smyth again if we are ever mad enough to move . Peter was also very good to calm me when I was stressed and always so calm and confident on the phone. Nothing was an issue to any of them, top notch team Will miss our phone calls and the banter, thank you again for everything

GoogleSTAY AWAY FROM THEM. I have never seen such unprofessional and unethical agency. We have got the house, sale agreed and got confirmation letter from the agency. I did book the surveyor and was sorting the solicitor. After 4 days, they did take an offer from someone else! Ethical and professional agencies would never do such thing. They wouldn't take further offers neither disclose the price.

Dear Tugay
I would like to confirm this matter in the correct context of how this event occurred. A day after you were sale agreed, the other party involved in the bidding process contacted our office with a higher offer. By law, we must tell sellers as soon as is reasonably possible about all offers that we receive at any time until contracts have been exchanged. On this occassion our seller instructed us to accept the higher offer & we acted on this instruction. Whilst we are disappointed for you, I can also confirm that we have not acted unprofessionally nor unethically in this regard.
We wish you all the very best with your continued house hunting.
Best Regards
Penny Smyth

GoogleMy husband and I had a great experience with Penny and her team as international tenants who did not know how to navigate and secure a lovely place in the complicated and competitive renting journey in NI. They are very professional and take good care of the rights of both tenants and landlords. They have been very informative and punctual. Apart from their professional expertise, Penny, Peter and Claire (who we were in touch) have great personalities which made the whole process enjoyable for us.
I cordially recommend their service.

GoogleI have no hesitation in recommending Penny Smyth and her team. The whole process of selling my property was seamless. Penny took care of the viewings and sold the property inside a week. This was by far the best experience I have had when selling a property. Always on hand to answer queries, giving me regular updates by phone and email without me having to prompt them; this all made the process hassle free and stree free. If I could rate the agency 10 stars I would. Thankyou Penny, Kerry and Claire for your professionalism, knowledge and support - and for all the laughs and banter, it was a pleasure.
