TrustpilotClaire Aitken
Claire Aitken was really helpful showing us around the property I was interested in as well as telling me info about the local area as well as other opportunities that may be of interest to me. As a leader in sales I appreciate good and honest service. In times like today it’s important keeping great staff who do a great job.

Sorry this is late in posting... Thank you so much Andrea, Eleanor and Mark for your support throughout the sale of my property. I faced stressful times, however, you all reassured me and supported me every step of the way, even when the house was sold you still listened. Very professional. THANK YOU! Xx

TrustpilotPROPERTY SALE/RENTAL
I wished to sell a property and asked this company to handle the sale for me. I was unable to receive an acceptable offer so this company very quickly found me an excellent tenant/rental income. Everything was handled very professionally and I am delighted with the service given.

TrustpilotHouse Sale Aug 2024
The start of the process was great and the getting us engaged in the process was good, sold a great vision for the company and the process, this wasn’t always followed through at the same speed with slow comms, E.G the selling vendor always seemed one or two days ahead of Smith and Friends. Smith and Friends need to look at the flow of data and some times too many people are involved which creates delays and frustrations for the seller. Overall good but could have been much better with some simple tweaks. Thanks

TrustpilotLimited professional input
Friendly interactions throughout but only limited support and advice provided. At the viewing stage the staff member freely admitted she had no knowledge of the property and was attending on behalf of one of her colleagues. Offer stage support was fine. But later in the process, when I needed support to deal with an issue with the seller it felt that they were reluctant to get involved. I understand the seller is ultimately their client but all the same it was difficult to see what professional expertise they brought to the party. Disappointing.

Amazing! Ellie from the ingleby Barwick branch assistance in finding a new home was truly exceptional. Her expertise, dedication, and care throughout the entire home search process were invaluable. Ellie's deep knowledge of the housing market and her commitment to understanding my needs made the experience smooth and stress-free. Her attention to detail and personalized approach ensured that I found the perfect home. I am grateful for Ellie's guidance and support, and I highly recommend her to anyone in search of their dream home. Thank you, Ellie, for making this journey so positive and rewarding. You are a superstar :)
