smart
/sma:t/ adjective
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 inconvenient High Street office visits, 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 recently used Smart to sell a 3 Bed Detached Property in Exeter. I had been quoted a fee of nearly £4,000 by various Estate Agents and decided to use Smart as their fee was £495+ vat, my only concern was would I get the same level of service as an old style estate agent? I am pleased to say that this could not have been further from the truth, I think the traditional model for estate agents could be in serious trouble. I saved around £3,500

new business rather then working on current stock • Young inexperienced sales negotiators can get
overwhelmed and not actually be market experts

• We pass company savings onto the customer • We do everything High Street agents do at

Contact us today to experience the difference
We recently used smart estate agents to sell our property and I cannot rate them highly enough. As a company they were very professional, efficient, friendly and always answered the phone when we needed them. We will always recommend them and their costs make it even more worthwhile.
