Marketing & photographs taken ensured our property sold within 48 hours of going onto Rightmove.
We had issues with someone else in the chain but Smith & Friends were happy to chase our Solicitor on our behalf and staff were always friendly & helpful.

No For Sale sign erected at property as it was deemed that there was no passing trade.
Incorrectly marketed the property as ready to move into rather than requires a lot of updating. Recommending for auction after 18 months was the best move.

I bought a property this year through the Hartlepool branch of Smith & Friends. As a buyer, I found them to be professional, courteous and knowledgeable throughout the whole process and always happy to answer any questions. If the time ever comes for me to sell, I will keep them in mind.

The whole team (Hartlepool) were great from start to finish. A special mention to Rachel and Nicola who kept me informed throughout and even chased a troublesome solicitor/ builder every day for me to ensure I moved in as early as possible. Thankyou for your dedication and tenacity. Have a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!! 🥳

Lee at Smith & Friends Estate Agents in Darlington was very friendly, helpful and efficient every step of the way with helping me with my new rental property. Everything was handled exactly in the timeframes discussed from the outset, he went above and beyond to make sure I had all of the relevant information regarding the property and navigation the referencing and contracts stages, and nothing was ever too much trouble for him. Really good bloke who is excellent at his job, and I would highly recommend him and the Smith & Friends team in Darlington to anyone looking for a new home in the future.

My partner and I had a great experience with viewing & securing a rental property. We had Lee Johnston in the Darlington branch supporting us and he was wonderful - very helpful, reassuring and quick to respond to any queries we had. He was also just very personable and easy to talk to, which was great. Overall, we had a great service and I would recommend to others.

The sale of my house, like many these days unfortunately proved not to be the most straight forward, however Smith and Friends were great throughout. The initial observations, photos, marketing of the property were excellent and this helped generate lots of interest while the property was on the market. Due to properties popularity, it did get slightly challenging at times with the amount of emails received for confirmed viewings, however I would rather it be this way than it generate little or no interest. The online portal is a very good way of checking where you are at with a property, and can imagine this being extremely useful with people who own multiple properties. Overall, experience and communication was great during a challenging property sale which got there in the end!

We recently used Smith & Friends in Darlington to let our property. The service we received was exceptional. The staff were professional, efficient, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Lee in particular went over and above his duties by ensuring we were fully informed regarding all potential applicants. They found us a tenant quickly and handled everything with excellent care and attention.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Smith & Friends in Darlington due to their excellent professional service and great customer service. Thank you all.

We had a good experience, the girls were friendly and helpful. Our house sold quickly but we were in a chain of about 6, so we felt we weren't getting anywhere quickly. In all it took us about 5 months from start to finish.
