GoogleHonestly our experience couldn't have been worse. We bought a house through Smarthomes, we were shouted at by our sales progression rep, phones slammed down on us, accused of sabotage, provided no support or advise (we had to go to another estate agent), lied to on multiple occasions and encouraged to ignore advise from roofing professionals because "I know what I'm talking about and they are wrong". They pride themselves on customer service??, then they might want to have a word with our rep. When she went on holiday it was the best service we got from them. However I would like to thank Adam for his service, absolute stand out, kind, professional and very approachable.

Dear Callum,
It was very disappointing to read your review and after speaking to Debbie your sales advisor she too is very disappointed .
As you are aware there was an issue with expanding foam in the loft space , Debbie explored all contractors on your behalf in relation to the removal of the insulation and eventually instructed the removal at a cost of £6,000 to the vendor , your purchase certainly had its challenges , however I feel the biggest surprise is that when you collected your keys on the 17th July you thanked Debbie for all of her help and you had got there in the end .
I fully appreciate that purchasing a property can be stressful and isn’t always straight forward .
I will discuss the intricacies of your review and experience further with Debbie,
Regards
Jamie smart .

GoogleI used Smart Homes recently to sell a property that I owned after asking for recommendations on a local Facebook page.
They were brilliant from the start.
Warren gave a realistic valuation and good advice (as the property needed some modernisation) and he kept in touch through the valuation phase and the viewings.
Then the sales progression team took over. Both Nicola and Sue kept me informed every step of the way and their communication was excellent.
All in all it was a really good experience at a time when the market is very challenging.
I would not hesitate to use Smart Homes again for buying or selling and I think a lot of companies could learn a lot about how to communicate effectively from their team.
Thank you all at Smart Homes for a straightforward and trouble free selling experience. You were great! I'd recommend you to anyone. X

She kept on top of all parties involved, in a complex three way sale, and doggedly pursued matters to ensure that the sale eventually completed. I wouldn't hesitate to use Smarts again.

GoogleAfter a horrendous 10 months with other local estate agents trying to sell my home by continually lowering my asking price I reached out to Jamie and asked for help . Jamie advised immediate solutions and worked with me to ensure that my home could be sold without losing any more off the price … The day I went live with Smart homes I had 6 viewings booked within the day and from the first viewing I had an offer of the asking price which I have gratefully accepted .. Jamie and team have been exception, supportive of my personal situation and I would recommend them to any one looking to buy / sell a home - I will certainly be in touch again in the future .

GoogleSmart Homes have been excellent! They sold my property really quickly and also helped me with finding my new home. They chase the solictors and keep weekly contact, so you are kept up to date with the progression of the sale. Josh and Suzanne were brilliant and took so much of the worry and stress away, especially after the negative experience I'd had with a High St Estate Agent. I would use Smart Homes again for any future sales - best estate agent by far.

My experience with Debbie is the best ever. Debbie gave an excellent service to me and I was buying a house from a vendor who Smart Homes was acting for. Debbie was so helpful. She kept me fully up to date with what was happening. Arranged visits to the property, suggested services, liased between all solicitors, vendor and me. Debbie gave meaning to going above and beyond. I am so pleased with the service she provided - outstanding! - truly a credit to Smart Homes.

FacebookA special thank you to Trish who goes above and beyond in her role. We purchased a home via Smart Homes and Trish was the sales progressor. Trish spent hours on end chasing solicitors on our behalf, sometimes working past her shift times, and on her non-working days. We are truly thankful for her support in our buying journey.
The buying and selling journey can be very stressful, but with the support she provided to us, took some of the burden off.
We have found our forever home, but if I were to sell again I would use Smart homes without a doubt.
