Are you ready to get Smart? The internet is changing the way we do things, the vision of smart was created when three local property experts became aware of limited options for property owners in the way that they wanted to sell and lease their properties. Bridging the gap between the online agent and the high street agent – SMART ESTATE AGENT was created. By working smarter, we have been able to strip away company overheads, which allows SMART to pass the savings onto YOU the customer. 98% of agent’s enquiries come through the national portals such as RIGHTMOVE, ZOOPLA this now eliminates having to trawl through weekly newspapers or window shopping High St agent’s, by cutting these avenues out it allows us to save YOU thousands. Our mission is to change the way the industry operates, slowly but surely it is working… Have you seen the signs of change? Are you ready to get SMART?

“I cannot recommend Smart highly enough, they have been fantastic to work with! We were initially torn between a traditional high street estate agent vs an online one, and Smart seemed like the perfect hybrid of the two. After comparing several quotes we listed our house for sale with them and saved over £2,000 in agency fees thanks to Smart’s upfront and transparent prices.” — Mrs Wingfield
