Robinsons Tees Valley Estate Agents have been helping people with their property needs across the Tees Valley for decades, specialising in residential sales, lettings and auctions.

This monthour business will see its name change from the well known Robinsons Tees Valley to the long anticipated Smith & Friends Estate Agents, which may not be a surprise to some as the logo has been visual for quite some time. The logo has in fact been quietly sitting in the corner of all Robinsons Tees Valley signage and even for sale and to let boards since 2021, waiting to become that same trusted brand that our clients have come to trust for all of those years.

After a busy 2 years since the change in ownership of the Company, the time has come for change and Managing Director, Mark Smith is more than ready to finally take the business to the next level. Mark has worked for the company for over 20 years and those foundations that have been laid over the years with customer service at the forefront will continue along with investment in technology and continual staff development.

“For quite sometime, since taking over Robinsons Tees Valley as a company we have continued to build on the success laid by our predecessor. In the last 2 years, we have really focused on the level of service, making it first class with the superb staff we have who genuinely want the best for our clients. We knew from day one that a brand change was on the horizon, although Robinsons Tees Valley is well established and well known, we felt it needed a refresh with a modern yet professional image. We are backing this with technology to showcase our vendors and landlords properties at the best it can be. We already have an active social media platform and will be adding to this with the Smith & Friends tiktok account, we will also have a new website" www.smith-and-friends.co.uk

Mark continues “The brand we feel is fresh and dynamic which compliments our approach to the business. Having seen changes in legislation, technology and not to mention the economic climate in the last 20 years, we have seen various peaks and troughs in the property industry over the years but that invaluable experience stands our team in good stead to be the agent of choice in all markets. The company is going to grow as we expand across the Tees Valley in the coming years.  Our vision is to provide a sustainable and engaging Estate Agency that helps vendors, landlords, buyers and tenants in their property journey. In addition our Mortgage team and excellent relationships with local solicitors make our business the complete property service.”  

We have a strapline which is People, Property, Planet.

Explaining the reasons behind this are People, they are the most important part of our business, our team and clients are at the forefront of our business.Property, the reason why we do what we do and are rated 4.9 out of 5 on Trustpilot. Planet, we want to be a sustainable business and have made strides in improving our carbon footprint, we must look after our planet for our future generations.”
