Smart Move Estate Agents: sales and letting in Glasgow

Smart Move Estate Agents (Scotland) Ltd operates as an estate and letting agent from Ladywell Business Centre, 94 Duke Street, Glasgow. The firm presents itself as a well-established agency with more than 15 years of experience providing what it describes as a good quality, cost-effective service to vendors and landlords.

Its model is built around individually assessed properties. According to the company, no two properties are the same, so each one is evaluated by one of its property experts, who offers a tailor-made package and a selling or management fee adjusted to the client's expectations.

Tailored packages and fee structure

Smart Move states that its tailor-made packages and knowledge of the local market allow it to meet client requirements at a fraction of the cost of corporate estate agents. The company argues that this approach lets owners maximise the price achieved for their property, whether selling or letting.

The agency advertises the absence of upfront fees or commission as a central feature of its service. It also links its lower cost structure to the reduced need for a high street presence, which it says traditional agents maintain to cover expensive overheads and shareholder returns.

Marketing and exposure for properties

Smart Move points to the growth in buyers and tenants searching for property online as a reason for its operating model. It states that its packages give properties national exposure through its own website and through Rightmove, which it describes as the UK's biggest property portal, alongside its local expertise.

The site includes a property search with filters for sale and to rent, minimum bedrooms from one to six or more, maximum price up to 3,000,000, and an option to include sold or let-out properties. At the time of writing this profile, the recently listed section showed a property for sale on Balmore Drive, Hamilton, at offers over £599,958, with two bedrooms, one bathroom and one reception room.

Services for sellers, landlords and tenants

The agency structures its offer around several audiences. For sellers, it provides vendor information and selling packages, as well as a free valuation service to find out the value of a property. For landlords, it covers landlord services and tenancy applications. For tenants, it offers property search, a tenants report and a repair reporting channel.
