I honestly cannot recommend HomeSmart Estates highly enough. They have been absolutely unbelievable from start to finish, and the service has genuinely been a dream. I often say to friends and family that one of the best things about my property investment wasn’t actually the property itself , it was having HomeSmart managing it for me. They have made the whole experience so smooth, easy and completely stress-free. Nothing is ever too much trouble. They are always fair, accommodating and genuinely happy to help wherever they can. It has made owning an investment property so much easier, particularly when you’re not always able to be there yourself. I have to give a special mention to Lisa, who has been incredible. On so many occasions she has personally gone to the property to check things, sort things out or make sure everything is as it should be, sometimes without me even needing to ask. That kind of initiative and genuine care is absolutely priceless and very rare to find. You really feel as though your property is in safe hands and that they care about it rather than simply “managing” it. I feel incredibly fortunate to have found them. If anyone is looking for a letting or managing agent they can genuinely trust, HomeSmart Estates would be my recommendation without hesitation. Thank you Lisa and the entire HomeSmart team for making property ownership such a pleasure. You are genuinely appreciated!

Andy was our estate agent/property manager for the last 4 years and was always friendly, professional and approachable. Any issues we had were dealt with quickly and efficiently, and he consistently responded to emails promptly. Nothing was too much trouble. Andy was also very supportive during our transition out of our rental property whilst we moved on to buy our own home. Helping to ensure that the checkout process went smoothly. We really appreciated all his help and support throughout our tenancy. We would highly recommend Andy as a property manager and thanks again!

Andy at Home Smart has held our hand from initial enquiry about putting our house on the market to purchasing our next house. As fairly new to the house buying process (other than buying off a builder) I was nervous about the whole process. With Andy (and his colleagues) I need not to have been. When our house was valued by Andy he came and checked through our house and gave us a realistic number we could obtain. A yes man he is not, but you purchase expertise for a reason. Our house sold for less than the advertised amount, but Andy helped guide us through the whole process end to end and actually we look to make the same saving on our onward purchase that we lost out on at our own, giving a nil effect, thanks to his hand holding (even checking in on us whilst on holiday!!) and advice given on negotiating a purchase price. Genuinely interested in your progression and can’t do enough for you! Thanks Andy!

As a family we highly recommend Andy. He made it all run so smoothly, kept us up to date constantly throughout and helped us navigate the system when trying to sell our parents home on Mums behalf. Eventhough an emotional time for the family, Andy was extremely understanding and helpful. We will be recommending this estate agent to anyone we know who needs to sell up. Thank you

Dealt with Andy from Home Smart. Really knows his subject, gave it me 'warts an all.' Told me a few things I didn't want to hear but I needed to hear them. He oozed experience and I felt relived I'd made the right choice with Home Smart. Thanks again to him and the team - would definitely recommend.

HomeSmart helped me rent out my Mum's house when she had to go into care. It was a difficult time for us and the team (especially Julie!) were always really helpful and a pleasure to deal with, as well as getting the job done. Would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.

We all know how stressful it can be buying and selling houses. We can honestly say thanks to Colin and the team at HomeSmart, all that stress was taken care of. Colin continuously went above and beyond to ensure that our sale went as smoothly as it did. We did have a few hiccups along the way with the solicitors not to mention last minute legal paperwork to contend with, which was of no fault of HomeSmart as it was out of their control but Colin eased the pressure by even hand delivering the signed copies to the buyers solicitors so there were no further hold ups. We even had potential buyers remark that they wished they had also gone with HomeSmart as they were always on hand and returned calls, keeping us in the loop continuously, along with Colin’s sense of humour made the sale even more plain sailing. A massive thank you to Colin and the team and should the need arise again for using an estate agent, HomeSmart would be our number one choice.

Andy is absolutely the best agent I have ever worked with, he is so efficient and nothing is ever too much trouble - Having been a landlord for a number of years, I don’t know what we’d do without him! Thanks Andy, one in a million!

I fully recommend Karen Allen properties. I found that their quick replies to my e.mails helped me enormously with buying my property, as I was kept informed and up to date on seller's information. This enabled me to find the right property. The staff communication is excellent, they give very valuable advice, and are so kind and helpful. In my house search I was in touch with numerous estate agents, Karen Allen, Kirkwall was No.1 out of them all. I am not suprised they win so many awards, all of which are very well deserved.

Colin and the team were exceptional throughout the lengthy process of purchasing our new home. When the solicitors informed us, late in the process, that additional paperwork required the vendors' signatures, Colin went above and beyond to ensure there were no delays. He personally took responsibility for obtaining the necessary signatures and returning the documents promptly to the solicitors. Throughout the entire experience, the team made us feel truly valued. I would not hesitate to work with them again.

Fantastic experience selling my property, really impressed with the service and have had bad experiences with other estate agents in the past. Karen is extremely professional, friendly, and operates at the top level. Eileen in the office was also great, and I highly recommend their services. Thank you for everything!

From the very beginning, the communication has been smooth, friendly, and incredibly helpful. Alisha and the team have gone above and beyond to make my move-in process easy and stress-free. Every question was answered quickly and thoroughly, and they genuinely took the time to ensure I felt informed and supported throughout. What really stood out was how proactive they were, arranging the inventory visit to suit my schedule, explaining everything clearly, they took the time to help me in person at the office and made everything clear and stress-free. Friendly, professional, and genuinely caring. Little touches like that show they truly care about their tenants. I’m really glad I chose them! It’s refreshing to deal with a letting agency that’s professional and personable. I’m genuinely happy with the service so far and confident I’ll be well looked after during my tenancy. Highly recommend HomeSmart Estates to anyone looking for reliable and honest lettings support!

If you want a company to really help you to manage your properties with minimal input, Brunton are the best. Isla has been brilliant and has kept us in the loop, answering questions with patience but taking stress away from us. Highly recommended, thank you!
