TrustpilotExcellent service and friendly
We recently sold our house with Smith and friends. Their service was fantastic all of the staff we dealt with especially Joanne and Rachael always found time to talk to us. It was not an easy sale as our first buyer pulled out at the last minute, the staff then ensured our house was seen and we had another new buyer pretty soon. All of my calls where taken in a professional and friendly manner and no query was too much hassle for them.

TrustpilotGreat Estate Agent
I have dealt with lots of estate agents over the years but smith and friends are brilliant. Mark Hodgson and his team go above and beyond to help in anyway that they can. It feels like they genuinely care which is rare in the property world these days. If you are considering selling your home, give these guys a call as you will not be disappointed!

***Update 30/6/2026 - 7.45pm
Following our conversation yesterday, I appreciate your call Mr Manejero. The emails that were sent were to make sure the point was not missed, by highlighting it in red wasn’t meant to be make it sound stressful or angry but to make sure points were noted as the vendor was keen to make sure the sale was proceeding. I will feed that back to the sales progressor and look forward to a successful relationship going forward. You have my number for any queries you may have,
Kind regards
Mark Smith
Managing Director
Thank you for your review Mr Manejero and the positive comments about Claire.
Please can you email me directly at marksmith@smith-and-friends.co.uk as I would like to discuss your review with you and find out where the comments came from. I have looked through the file notes and cant find any comments like you have mentioned. I believe it didn't complete as you need to give authority to the solicitor and as you appreciate we will have a vendor wanting to know what the situation was.
I look forward to hearing from you and we can set a call up as I pride myself on the standards my team sets, if we have fallen below that then I will look into this.
Kind regards

TrustpilotBuying and selling Marton Branch
We sold and bought with the Marton branch of Robinson’s, the service we received was exceptional. Communication was fantastic, We were kept fully informed the whole way, no need for relentless chasing for updates. When our buyer lost their mortgage Robinson’s helped him find another so we didn’t lose the sale or the house we were buying. It’s like you are getting a really personal service, they are so supportive, they genuinely care. If we were to ever sell again I wouldn’t go anywhere else. (Many thanks Steffi and Elaine)

TrustpilotExcellent!
Nothing was too much trouble and all the team, especially Joy, were incredibly helpful from start to finish. I had my eye on a property for a long time and they kept me in the loop until I was able to make an offer and ultimately purchase my dream home. Communication from Joy was excellent and extremely efficient. She made the whole moving process easy when we all know how stressful it can be. Thank you so much

We are first time buyers and robinsons made it very easy and answered all questions we had. They always kept us updated with how the sale was going, Chloe was especially helpful and rang with updates everytime she'd heard from the solicitors on her end. If we were to Sell and mive again we would deffinetly use these. We would also recommend them to everyone who needed estate agents.

Yet again great service from the Smith and Friends staff, especially Nikki. The process of closing the previous tenancy and getting a new tenant was smooth with great communications during the process. Only 2 weeks between the move out of the previous tenant and move in of the new was great.

TrustpilotVictoria and Andrea Ingleby
Victoria and Andrea in the Ingleby Branch were absolutely fantastic from start to finish. We were first time buyers with atrocious solicitors in which Andrea and Victoria were extremely patient with us, understood our frustrations and constantly kept us in the loop of what was going on. Can’t fault the service at all and were also very accommodating with follow up viewings to show our families and listening to us moan!Thank you so much for all your hard work, and I’d definitely recommend using their service.

TrustpilotAmazing Service
Amazing Service. We would like to thank Elaine and all the staff at ribinsons marton middlesbrough for the exceptional service we received from start to finish. Nothing was to much trouble and we were kept upto date weekly for piece of mind. Buying and selling a home can be stressful at the best of times but it was made so much easier with the help of robinsons staff. Please do not look anywhere else for an estate agent. Nothing compares in the Teesside area. Can not thank you enough.
