Tom Smith

Managing Director @Smiths Property Experts

East Midlands, GB

I have been immersed in the local property market throughout the Midlands for over 10 years; formerly a Senior Partner at one of the quicker growing and reputed independent estate agencies in Leicestershire.Raised locally and into an entrepreneurial family, I was schooled at Ratcliffe College and my grandfathers were the Managing Director at Raleigh Cycles in Nottingham and Foreman at Rolls Royce in Mountsorrel. My father formerly owned and operated Simpkin & James Wines in Leicester, but it was my mother, an international hair stylist from Barrow upon Soar (Jane Gilks) to whom I attribute my drive and determination to succeed.“My mother instilled the values of hard work, manners and what it takes to succeed from an early age. My parents\' efforts to involve our family in competitive sports helped too. I am immensely proud of my career and achievements to date, which include successfully 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.”I have a passion for all things property, cricket, rugby, and am still chasing my dream of racing cars on a professional stage; for now, I will have to make do with club racing and enjoy supporting my brother!
