I would like to say many many thanks to Katherine Quinton for all her help in dealing with us in the buying of 11 Wylam Avenue, she went above and beyond in the prompt action in aiding us sorting out our financial proof etc, she was very friendly and courteous and nothing was too much trouble for her, also all the other ladies in the shop were very friendly and courteous too, making it pleasant experience in what is a usually stressful experience, thanks to all concerned.

Great Communication

Robinson’s were our first experience with estate agents and they made it such a positive one. Great communication throughout, from viewing properties, to listing and selling ours. Nicola was very helpful, easy to get hold of and generally made the process feel less daunting. Will definitely use Robinson’s again.

Well done Steffi!!

I had a lousy solicitor,one of your recommended ones but Steffi Hughes kept me informed of the progress,or lack of it by being in contact with solicitors on each side of the sale and keeping me abreast of her findings, nothing was too much bother!!!

Ingleby Barwick Lettings Team

As a landlord I am very happy with the fully managed service provided by the team at the Ingleby Barwick office. All aspects of the letting process are carried out professionally and efficiently from start to finish and the friendly staff always have a positive attitude. Mark the Office Manager has a hands-on approach and provides valuable marketing and tenancy advice. I can highly recommend Smith & Friends for property management services.

Whilst the experience with the staff at…

Whilst the experience with the staff at the Marton branch was good, as far as we were concerned the iamsold team were part of the bigger team and our experience with them was frustrating. Initially we were told that the auction process would take up to 56 days. The initial offer was accepted on 9/1/24. Completion did not take place till 23/4/24, 103 days later. The delay cost us financially due to the changes in CG tax. We later found out that the buyer wanted to purchase as a business that was not even registered till the end of January. This was the reason for the excessive delay. The communication throughout from iamsold was poor with emails from our solicitor often not being responded to. Unfortunately this reflects on your business as this is who we signed the contract with.

Thankyou Darlington!

I used the Darlington office to buy my property and couldn’t be more satisfied with the service I received. My purchase had a large amount of sentimental value and both joy and Michelle were so invested it made the experience a lot less stressful. Highly recommend these guys and I can’t thank them enough :)

Smith & Friends Hartlepool- excellent

Smith and Friends Hartlepool have sold two of my properties now and each time I felt that the experience has been excellent. The staff are knowledgeable and nothing is too much trouble. Their pricing is competitive and they make sure to keep me informed every step of the way. From valuation to setting the completion date they've been professional and trustworthy. Thank you to the whole team.

I've been working with Smith and Friends Letting Agent for some time now, and I can't sing their praises enough. Their responsiveness to my specific needs has been unparalleled. What truly sets them apart is their unwavering dedication to ensuring that both landlords and tenants are not just satisfied, but truly happy with their service. I've received glowing feedback from my tenants, who consistently report that their needs are not just met, but exceeded. As a landlord, their patience, professionalism, and cost-effectiveness have been a lifeline, especially in these challenging times. Smith and Friends understand the importance of being financially savvy without compromising on quality service. To the entire team at Smith and Friends, I extend my heartfelt gratitude. Thank you for your exceptional service, and I eagerly anticipate continuing our journey together. Here's to many more successful years ahead!

Having used Smith and Friends in Darlington a number of times I would highly recommend them. We particularly liked their style of marketing and their adverts on Rightmove definitely stand out from the crowd. The photographs are of a very high standard and information is presented in a clear and concise fashion. The sales team were very proactive in order to achieve a sale and kept us informed at all times. The excellent service continued with Joy in sales progression. She communicated with us regularly and was very attentive to ensure our sale went through. The whole team went above and beyond therefore I would definitely recommend them.

Outstanding Support from Start to Finish, Highly Recommend Smith & Friends! Ingleby Barwick

We cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Smith & Friends Estate Agents (ingleby Barwick). From the very first interaction, they demonstrated professionalism at its absolute best. As first-time buyers who were completely new to the mortgage process, we honestly didn’t know where to begin but the team made everything so easy and stress-free for us.

Highly recommend Smith & Friends

Excellent service from Smith & Friends on the sale of my house. From the initial evaluation to completion they were always available for advice and assistance.Within 24 hours of the house going on the market, we had eight viewings booked and received an acceptable offer within 48 hours. All staff were professional and knowledgeable. They were all so friendly and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Great service

Overall pleased with the service throughout from Darlington smith & friends when selling my home. Stand out service was from Joy during sales progression, despite other delays she constantly kept me updated, chased all parties, was extremely responsive and approachable. Unfortunately communication wasn’t as great during a period of Joy being off however I couldn’t compliment the service from her more - made a stressful process much easier.
