Smith Partners Real Estate

Smith Partners Real Estate has been operating since 5th August 2013 when husband and wife team; Ryan & Corina Smith started their own real estate business in a humble but functional office space. After only a year, Smith Partners Real Estate had grown so much that they relocated to their first “real” office at The Golden Grove Village Shopping Centre. They celebrated their first birthday and their Grand Opening on the 8th August 2014 and have continued to grow since that time.
Ryan Smith began his real estate career in 2004 working with one of Adelaide's Premier Real Estate Agency’s. Starting out in the Property Management department as a Property Inspector, Ryan soon worked his way up to Leasing Manager and subsequently was awarded "Leasing Manager of The Year".
Soon after, Ryan made the successful transition to a Sales role. In his first year, Ryan achieved a "Rising Star" award, and in the next year he achieved recognition for the sale of his first million dollar property, being inducted into the "Million Dollar Club". In 2009, Ryan invited his wife Corina to join him as his administration assistant - and The Smith Team was born! In 2011, The Smith Team made a big change and transferred their little team to one of Australia's largest franchises. Ryan and Corina became the number one team in the number one office in South Australia.
This background of working with a prestigious boutique agency and then a large franchise office gave Ryan and Corina the knowledge and skills required to go out on their own and create Smith Partners Real Estate!
Today, the Smith Partners team continues to expand - with staff specialising in sales, property management, client services, information technology and marketing. Smith Partners Real Estate was named as one of five finalists across Australia in the category of Best New Office 2014 in the Real Estate Business Awards, one of five finalists in the category of Best Small Agency 2015 and 2016 in the Real Estate Industry of SA Awards and also winners of the Rate my Agent Agency Awards 2015.

Local Knowledge, Out of Area Reach
We live locally and pride ourselves on our knowledge of the North Eastern suburbs.
Our reach extends internationally, far beyond the North East suburbs utilising all of the major advertising websites like realestate.com.au and their affiliated Chinese sites, domain.com.au, our own website and social media.

We Do Things Differently!
Most importantly, when we advertise a home for sale, we ensure that the property marketing is all about YOUR PROPERTY, not about us!
Our signboards showcase the best feature of your property, not just our brand and name.
Included in our “Essentials” marketing package is one 8’ x 4’ photo signboard with:
Three photos for detailed advertisement
the property address so that people who don’t live on your street will know which house they are looking at
basic details of the number of bedrooms, bathrooms and car spaces
a “subscribe now” reference so interested buyers can register on our system to be notified of open times, etc.
We also have an upgrade option of a double 8x8 signboard - perfect for use on main roads or high traffic areas.
Our Property Magazine is published EVERY WEEK, not monthly, meaning that the properties advertised are still available at the time a potential purchaser sees them.
We actively distribute them at Muffin Break in The Golden Grove Village Shopping Centre as well as having them available at our office and all our open inspections.
Our brochures are unrivalled in the South Australian Real Estate market. With 12 A4 pages featuring the best photos of your property, details on every aspect of your home and even details about your suburb and what you love most about your property. Photography by the professionals - We have an exclusive agreement with the renowned Gainsborough Studio’s to complete all our property photography. Steve or Vanessa will visit your home and take the time to make sure we get the right photos of your property.
We choose to use a wide angle lens for photographing each room. This gives potential buyers viewing the photos the same impression as if they were walking into the room and seeing it with their own two eyes - peripheral vision and all!
STANDARD LENS WIDE ANGLE LENS

Property Management

You may be considering renting out your current property if selling at this time is not the right choice for you.
A unique aspect of Smith Partners Real Estate is that our Principal, Ryan Smith started his real estate career in Property Management with one of Adelaide’s top boutique real estate agency’s. His first role was Property Inspector meaning he was in charge of in-going, out-going and routine property inspections. Ryan took pride in completing his job to a very high standard before becoming a Leasing Manager in charge of leasing & re-letting properties including checking references of prospective tenants. Ryan was awarded “Leasing Manager of the Year” before making the leap to Residential Sales.
Corina Smith takes pride in her high level of service in the Property Management department. Taking all enquiries from clients and deal with all issues accordingly, Corina’s passion for the business motivates her to ensure we do the right thing by the owner, with a duty of care to our tenants. Corina truly enjoys the role and with assistance from Tayla Brodie arranging maintenance and Enes Mulalic managing the leasing process, the Property Management team works together effectively to deliver efficient and high quality service to all clients.
Quality Tradespeople - majority of the tradespeople we utilise to complete any required maintenance have been tried and tested on our very own homes! We won’t use anyone that we don’t believe will complete the job to our very high standards and at competitive pricing.
Detailed Property Inspections - we will complete quarterly routine property inspections and provide you with detailed property inspection reports including photographs to ensure you are always informed of the state of your investment property.
Your rental listing will be advertised on all the major websites including realestate.com.au, domain.com.au, our own website smithpartnersrealestate.com.au and on our social media sites.
We provide the option to use professional photographers from Gainsborough Studio’s to photograph your rental property when advertising for lease. Showing your property in its best light will generally attract a higher quality tenant.
