Couldn’t thank the team
Enough at the Middlesbrough branch. Nikki was amazing and was thorough and always made time for calls in the application process.

We used the Hartlepool branch to sell our home and they've been great! This is the first time we sold a house and we needed help to navigate the process. The whole team (Craig, Rachael, Nicola, Steph, Joanne - everyone we dealt with) have been professional and supportive. They have also been honest and reassuring when needed. Highly recommend.

As a first-time buyer, I honestly had no idea what I was doing and felt completely overwhelmed by the whole process.
Jaynie and Claire at Smith and Friends Estate Agents were absolutely incredible from start to finish.
They reassured me when I was stressed, kept in touch constantly, and even chased my solicitor on numerous occasions to keep everything moving.
Nothing ever felt like too much trouble for them, and they made such a daunting process feel manageable.
There were moments where I genuinely think I would have given up if it wasn’t for the support from Smith and Friends. Having people in your corner who actually care makes all the difference, and that’s exactly what Jaynie and Claire did for me.
I’m currently stuck in the Middle East so my mam had to collect the keys from the vendor for me, which feels surreal! But when I’m finally back home, I’ll definitely be bringing a gift for this amazing team because they truly deserve it.
I’m so grateful for everything they’ve done and couldn’t recommend them enough.
Thank you for helping make this huge milestone happen for me, once I am safely home I really can not wait to enjoy my new house!! 25 years old and a homeowner thanks to these lovely ladies at Smith and Friends Stockton!!! ❤️

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to the Hartlepool Team! This is our 4th time using this EA for buying and selling, each and every time has been super smooth sailing from getting that valuation, all the stuff in between and completing. I would NEVER go anywhere else.
Special thanks to Nicola, Rachael, Steph and Joanne for always just being there and providing super lovely service... It means a lot when there was times i was pulling my hair out haha, so keep doing what you are doing guys!!!
Thank you x

Our main Estate Agent was Abby who we dealt with, but whenever we rang the office and spoke to other colleagues, they were also wonderful.
Having had previously bad experiences with the estate agents I was worried about going through this process, but Abby was so fantastic, reassuring, kind, and efficient, that she made the whole process simple and easy. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Abby and the team.

Smith&Friends were superb in every aspect of selling our bungalow in Seaton Carew, Hartlepool. From the initial visit to value the property, to the preparation of the sales particulars and a rapid connection with the eventual purchasers. All contact with the sales office and the wonderful team was first class. Highly recommended

I have used Smith and friends for a number of years for our rental properties. They have successfully sourced tenants of a good calibre and who still remain tenants . Recently Nikki and Richard smoothly brought a new rental to the market, sourced good calibre tenants once again. . I would have no hesitation in recommending Smith and friends for renting, selling or buying

I have recently used Smith & Friends, Middlesbrough, and I had the most amazing experience. Nikki went above and beyond and she made me feel at ease, which helped the move run smoothly. Any of my queries, she was on the ball with. I would definitely recommend using Smith & Friends, whether you're thinking of buying or renting. 10 out of 10 experience.

I moved from Birmingham to Hartlepool. We bought a house through Smith and Frinds in Hartlepool. I was really concerned about being so far away through the process and not being able to liase in person, however i need not have worried. I was kept inormed every step of the way, first by Joanne and then as things progressed, by Rachel. All of my questions and queries were answered and things ran very smoothly for us. Thank you to all the team at Smith and Friends.

I recently used Smith and Friends for the find a tenant service to rent out my property. Lee was very helpful and always on the end of the phone or email for quick replies when needed. Very smooth service from Lee and would use them again in the future.

I recently worked with Manj and his team for a house purchase. I cannot recommend this agency enough! Manj was considerate and kept me updated promptly, working on my behalf to ensure a smooth transaction. No question was too trivial for him to answer and as a first time buyer, this kind of help was invaluable - he really is a credit to the agency. I also briefly dealt with Rachel at a stressful time in the transaction, who was incredibly kind and helpful - she made the entire situation much easier to navigate. I cannot recommend the team highly enough, they are hard working and actually make you feel as if they have the best interests of the buyer in mind - which is rare to find. Thank you so much.

I have known some of the team in Hartlepool for many years (Nicola) . As a large portfolio Landlord, I have purchased many properties from them back in 2003 onwards(Robinsons). They are focused, friendly and above all competent. I will continue to use them to sell multiple properties in 2026. well done.

Excellent service from start to finish during my property purchase. Andrea and the team at Smith & Friends were consistently supportive, professional, and easy to work with. I’d happily recommend them to friends and colleagues.

Jade Allen & her team worked their butt's off in just a few days or so they completed on the purchase of our new house & we moved in before Christmas,. We really can not believe it ourselves, i'm still pinching myself, they really are truely amazing & we couldn't of done any of it without them...
We would both recommend Smith & Friends solicitors to anybody who wants a fast sale on a property, give them a call, I would 150%

Charlotte, Leah and the team did a great job getting the sale done after an earlier offer accepted was unexpectedly withdrawn. Highly recommended.

Reply from Smith & Friends Estate Agents
Responsive, professional and effective .
Have been using Smith & Friends to sell multiple properties in Hartlepool over the past 12 months.
Valuations have been realistic, the team maintain good contact with buyers and, most importantly, chasing solicitors as required to keep sales moving forward.
We would have no reservations using them for further sales.
