GoogleRude estate agents and very pushy. Kept demanding loads of paperwork and once provided we were told the offer wasn't accepted. Once they learned that we may not consider putting in a second offer the call was quickly ended. Won't be trusting them with the sale of my other house in the future.

Dear Luke ,
Thank you for your review , and I am sorry that you feel we were rude or pushy .
Looking at your email I believe you are the same gentleman I am referring to .
We will always require documents supporting your offer to ensure we are compliant and that we are putting your offer forward in the best possible light.
I have also reviewed the notes and emails relating to the negociations you have had with the office .
My understanding that your offer was ยฃ200,000 below the asking price .
Whilst I understand you feel that this is the figure you fealt the property was worth unfortunately The vendor on this occasion is expecting considerably closer to the asking price .
In closing I have also reviewed the email sent to you on the 10th of November which thanked you for your offer explaining the vendor understands the reason for your offer and also explains what the clients expectation is, on this email was also attached properties that didnโt require work for your consideration.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you wish to increase your offer somewhere closer to the vendors expectations .

Helen in the sales progression team was a great help. She kept me updated every week and chased solicitors on both sides to keep things moving forwards.
It made such a difference having someone who understands the process and communicates well.

GoogleI have tried to get a viewing for a couple of let properties with Smart homes but after phone calls and emails I haven't managed to view a single house with them so far.Other estate agents at least have had the courtesy of getting back to me and have really tried to fit me in for viewings. Smart homes has just ignored me as a potential client.

GoogleGreat service from start to finish. Good handovers between the sales progression team. Everyone seemed like they genuinely wanted to help push the sale through and when asked to chase and report back, I would always receive a call back. We would definitely recommend Smart Homes, and in particular mention the hard work and effort that Sue Danter put in to the sale of our property.

GoogleAs a new homes property developer in Shirley and Solihull I was really impressed with all the staff and management at Smart Homes on our recently completed scheme of luxury apartments.
From the planning phase to customer negotiations and final completion we were assisted and supported with advertising and professional social media support that was invaluable in the disposal of all our properties.
We are now involved in our next planning application for multiple units in the area and will be re appointing Smart Homes as our marketing and sales partner keep up the good work guys second to none in our opinion. (Stone Developments)

FacebookProperty hunting is bad enough, without the estate agents failing to provide any support. There were no photos of outside the property, so we didn't know what we were looking for. We turned up early to the viewing, to find no member of staff. After making a useless phone call to Smart Homes, we decided to go home without viewing the property. Poor service for lettings anyway

FacebookThe most complicated of moves within a chain that took 7 months. Our first buyer dropped out after 5 months, the whole team at smart homes allpitched in and together found us another buyer within the week, who was a better match for us and turned the whole thing around in two months. Throughout, the team worked tirelessly to keep the chain together. Particular credit goes to Jackie and Irene along with Helen as well when things were particularly tough. We kept our home we wanted and the people we bought from still kept theirs. Without smart homes this would not have been possible and last week we moved into the home we had wanted for so long and with our children, are settling in well. Big thank you Smart Homes! You showed your worth and we are so grateful !!!
