Great service and communication all the time

The staff were great and friendly, they chased buyer and solicitors to progress the completion of sale and gave regular updates.

Claire Aitken

Claire Aitken was really helpful showing us around the property I was interested in as well as telling me info about the local area as well as other opportunities that may be of interest to me. As a leader in sales I appreciate good and honest service. In times like today it’s important keeping great staff who do a great job.

PROPERTY SALE/RENTAL

I wished to sell a property and asked this company to handle the sale for me. I was unable to receive an acceptable offer so this company very quickly found me an excellent tenant/rental income. Everything was handled very professionally and I am delighted with the service given.

House Sale Aug 2024

The start of the process was great and the getting us engaged in the process was good, sold a great vision for the company and the process, this wasn’t always followed through at the same speed with slow comms, E.G the selling vendor always seemed one or two days ahead of Smith and Friends. Smith and Friends need to look at the flow of data and some times too many people are involved which creates delays and frustrations for the seller. Overall good but could have been much better with some simple tweaks. Thanks

100% recommended. Excellent service.

I don’t normally leave reviews but I sold through Smith and friends and what can I say other than a sincere thanks to the Darlington staff who were recommended to me through a colleague. I was kept informed and up to date through the whole process and they were very helpful and responsive with any questions I had (which was a lot!). I would not hesitate to recommend Smith and Friends, they are top notch at what they do.

Highly Recommend ***

Amazing! Ellie from the ingleby Barwick branch assistance in finding a new home was truly exceptional. Her expertise, dedication, and care throughout the entire home search process were invaluable. Ellie's deep knowledge of the housing market and her commitment to understanding my needs made the experience smooth and stress-free. Her attention to detail and personalized approach ensured that I found the perfect home. I am grateful for Ellie's guidance and support, and I highly recommend her to anyone in search of their dream home. Thank you, Ellie, for making this journey so positive and rewarding. You are a superstar :)
