Duo join forces to launch new estate agency
A pair of Leicestershire property professionals have launched a new estate agency covering the wider East Midlands region.
Tom Smith, most recently senior partner at Alexanders Estates, and fellow Alexanders alumnus Lucinda Smith have established Smiths Property Experts to provide residential sales and lettings services and mortgage and insurance advice.
The new agency will cover the whole of Leicestershire as well as south Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire, Rutland and north Warwickshire.
Tom’s grandfather was managing director at Raleigh Cycles, while his father owned and operated Simpkin & James Wines in Leicester. However, it is his mother Jane Gilks, an international hair stylist, to whom he attributes his drive and determination to succeed.
He said: “My mother instilled the values of hard work, manners and what it takes to succeed from an early age. I am immensely proud of my career and achievements to date, which include completing transactions on some of the region’s highest-value properties. Whilst my achievements are dear to me, ultimate satisfaction comes from helping local people to achieve their property goals. I cannot wait to continue helping clients new and old navigate the property market for years to come.”
Lucinda will take charge of the brand’s marketing and work alongside Tom to provide clients with advice and support.
She said: “I am extremely excited about the launch of Smiths. I have huge respect for Tom, his knowledge, and his understanding of the market. I believe we align in our work ethic, are driven to be the very best at what we do and take great joy and satisfaction in helping clients achieve their property goals.”
Tom added: “When you deal with Smiths you deal with both me and Lucinda as owners, and as such we care, take pride, and understand our responsibility when advising on and handling your property needs.”
