Mitch Smit
Sales Consultant/Auctioneer
Doubtless one of Wyndham City’s most respected and accomplished property experts, Mitch brings an outstanding work ethic and an affinity with family values to his senior sales role at YPA.
Always keeping vendors up to date through clear, concise dialogue and nothing but the facts, Mitch attributes his to-the-point approach to South African lineage; a trait held in high regard by clients looking to make informed decisions. Mentored by agency director Kirsty Cunningham on his path to professional success, Mitch’s drive, humility, and client-focus have seen his career move from strength to strength, with a range of plaudits spanning:
- Personal Assistant of the Year (YPA Network), 2018
- Most Improved Sales Agent (YPA Network), 2021
- Top Salesperson (Listings) (2nd Place - YPA Network), 2023
- 2023 Number of Sales (2nd Place - YPA Network), 2023
Arriving in Australia as a young adult, Mitch quickly fell in love with Victorian culture, playing cricket for Hoppers Crossing and cheering on his beloved Magpies at the MCG. Now a staple of the local community, Mitch always allows for quality time with his wife and two young children, often heading to Watton Street’s Chatter Box Café for a quiet coffee with family and friends.
Honest, fair and great to deal with. I met with around 5 real estate agents and whilst all had their pros and cons I ended up choosing YPA and in particular Mitch based on a series of factors. They were 100% transparent by providing a printed pricelist of exactly what their services cost as well as commission structure. Others would scrawl it on a piece of paper based on my reactions or excluding gst from their pricing. They were not at all pushy with follow-ups and were wholly appreciative that choosing an agent can be a stressful time for a seller. Mitch was just grateful for the opportunity to represent me and said to call him any time with any questions.
One thing I found during that campaign is that they were honest with all of the people who inspected the property and whilst the odd 'over embellishment' may get a better price I would say it is also true that the person buying can trust everything that they are told when they place a bid so it works both ways Overall I felt very comfortable working with Mitch and it seemed his passion was more about the joy of meeting people and selling houses as opposed to commission or statistics. If you want a genuine relationship with an agent I would highly recommend Mitch and YPA in general.

Integrity and Professionalism in spades.
Mitch Smit stands out for all the right reasons. He is such an honest man who has mountains of integrity. Right throughout the sales process Mitch completely had my back, he was informative, kind and involved in all the right ways. In moments of concern he was reassuring and attentive reducing my stress and worry. The real estate industry is full of individuals full of their own ego and agendas but not Mitch. Mitch knows the industry well and clearly knows his stuff but he is more than that. He was realistic always offering realistic goals and expectations without setting myself up for something that was never going to happen. I will happily sell houses with Mitch again and again. His integrity and decency sets him well above from everyone else

From the get go Mitch was upfront at the start. He doesn’t sugarcoat anything . The experience with Mitch has been absolutely brilliant. He is very professional in his job and at the same time very caring to us . From the get he hasnt faltered on anything. From marketing to opening’s and finally the Auction. His style is one that people should take a lead from. What impressed me the most is not so much the great price above reserve but the constant communication in keeping us informed of who has been through, and whats happening next . He been great in all associations with the sale of my home….Hes an asset to YPAs business. We want thank YPA for what he and your team has done throughout the whole campaign. Many man thanks to you all. Kind Regards Bill and Robyn. Ps: I won’t hesitate to recommend YPA to anyone that wants to sell there property . Thankyou Again.

Taylor
Mitch is very professional and promptly, it makes the buying process become very simple
Brad
Amazing! Highly recommend Mitch. Mitch has now sold 2 properties for us. His knowledge of the area we sold in was spot on. We had another agent involved with a sale but switched to Mitch after we got ghosted & didn't get feedback on opens by the previous agent. Mitch always called to give updates; he kept us informed all the way through. I wouldn't hesitate to contact Mitch straight away when we decide to sell again.

My recent experience with YPA and Mitch Smith , as my sales agent , was high class. I was convinced by his professionalism, transparency and negotiation skills. He was clear with his expectation setting regarding communication, pricing guidance and requirements from a seller. Though the market conditions eventually dictated the pricing , he was quite communicative through the process and managed my expectations to his very best. Eventually I had a hassle free sale. Wouldn’t hesitate to deal with Mitch again. Highly recommended.
Ramesh
Above Expectations. Mitch and the team at YPA are the type of agents you want selling your home. Extremely professional, do not give you the run around or tell you what you want to hear. They are honest and deliver what they say they will. Our house was sold extremely quickly and off market allowing us to buy our dream home. Overall great experience

Professional and Friendly, Mitch made the whole process easy and stress-free. Mitch was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was always excellent at communicating through each process and was willing to listen to and accommodate my requests. He always followed up calls and messages promptly.
Mitch made the whole process of selling smooth and stress-free, from the initial inquiries and getting a feel for the market, through to the advertising, and then finally the sale and signing of the contract.

Mitch Smit is the best! He was incredibly thorough, professional and went above and beyond our expectations to secure the sale of our property. He was very honest, kept us informed throughout the entire process and wonderful to work with. We highly recommend Mitch, he is an excellent real estate agent.
John
Mitch made a great first impression when he came to our property, and has continued to exceed expectations since. He is super friendly and easy to deal with, and has achieved two amazing results for our properties ($80k and $93k above our reserve!) He is extremely responsive to emails, and has been one of the best agents I've ever dealt with. I have already recommended him to a colleague, and will definitely engage him again if I have further properties to sell in the area.
John
Mitch is very responsive to almost all my msg/ emails and calls. Can’t thank him enough with timely updates and his patient trying to market my unit especially during lockdown had been challenging. But of cos he made it in the end and I’m happy with his constant advice adjustment throughout the period is what a seller would hope for. Thank you.
John
Mitch came highly recommended by a colleague and he has not disappointed! He is extremely easy to work with and incredibly responsive to emails and calls. He is easily one of best agents I have worked with and achieved astonishing results for our properties in Werribee (all going well over reserve). I have already appointed him to sell an additional property for us and would be happy to recommend him to anyone selling in the area.
John
Mitch gave an honest and accurate valuation of our property. He kept in contact all the way through the selling process. I felt confident he had my best interest at heart. I had 3 seperate real estate valuations and am so thankful i chose Mitch to sell my property.
John
Couldn't be happier!Right from our first meeting, I was impressed with Mitch's knowledgeable, professional and friendly approach. As this was my first experience selling a property, Mitch was able to guide me through the process, was great at communicating after every open for inspection he held and was always available whenever I had any questions. Lastly and importantly, Mitch got us a great result on the sale of the property, going well over our reserve and our expectations!
