    Mark A. Smith FNAEA MARLA - Managing Director
    I have worked as an Estate Agent since 1994 and I am accredited to NAEA and ARLA. Since 2003 I have been working for the company as a Senior Manager/Valuer mainly at our Stockton office, which is now our Head Office. Many highlights over the years and some amazing properties but equally met thousands of great people and helped them along their property journey. I have even appeared in 'Homes Under the Hammer' back in 2004.On 15 October 2021, I was part of the takeover of the business and am now very proud to be Managing Director where we have offices covering across the Tees Valley in Stockton, Middlesbrough, Ingleby Barwick, Darlington & Hartlepool. I am supported by an amazing team of people.On 24 November 2023 Robinsons Tees Valley was re-branded to Smith & Friends Estate Agents, the new brand I feel is fresh and dynamic which compliments my approach to business. Having seen changes in legislation, technology and not to mention the economic climate in the last 29 years, I have seen various peaks and troughs in the property industry over the years but that invaluable experience stands my 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 with their property journey. In addition our Mortgage team and excellent relationships with local solicitors make our business the complete property service. Away from the business I love sport - football, golf and F1 are my passions and I am also an F.A. qualified coach and coach my youngest sons football team at Billingham Juniors F.C. Dedication and Loyalty are 2 of my qualities and this is demonstrated not only in my work life but also in my hobbies. I am avid Boro fan and have had a season ticket for over 37 years, I am also a member my local golf course at Billingham Golf Club.

    Claire Etheridge - Senior Property Manager
    I have worked for the company for more than 17 years, starting as an Office Junior in our Hartlepool Office in 2006. I then took on the role of Administrator in 2008 at our Stockton office where I have been based ever since, progressing to a Lettings Negotiator and eventually Senior Property Manager in 2016. I have completed my ARLA qualification which has supported me in my role of managing properties for our Landlords. I have recently began training with our Accounts Department as I have great interest in that aspect of the role and would like to gain experience further in this area. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and like to go on long walks and breaks away to Center Parcs with my husband and daughter.

    Hayden Atkinson - Lettings Negotiator
    I recently joined the Stockton Office as a Lettings Negotiator in 2023 and I am currently managing over 180 properties alongside Claire. I originally started my career in Estate Agency as a Sales Negotiator but decided to pursue this further in lettings which has gave me knowledge of both sides. I am keen to complete my ARLA qualification over time to support me in the management of our landlords' properties. In my spare time, I enjoy socialising with friends and family, going to the gym and travelling with my partner exploring new destinations.

    Testimonials from Landlords

    • Landlord Testimonial

      I recently bought a rental property through Robinson's Stockton , in a very stress-free process. It then took less than a month, from getting the keys, to moving a new tenant in, thanks to thorough marketing, realistic pricing and the competent lettings management. Of course, not to forget Ken, the unsung hero, who shows properties with charm.
    • Landlord Testimonial

      I could not fault the staff at Robinsons at the Stockton  branch when dealing with finding a tenant for a rental. I have always used Robinson's for this purpose and the service just gets better every time.
    • Landlord Testimonial

      Sadly the quality house I had available took longer to rent than we all anticipated however once a suitable tenant was identified Jaynie & Claire in the Stockton office worked efficiently dealing with the application. Hopefully looking forward to a stress free tenancy. 
    • Landlord Testimonial
