      I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them
      I bought and sold my house from JSS, separated by a 8 year gap. The team were a pleasure to deal with. Friendly, professional and flexible, with great communication, and with a great company ethos. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

      Mr H, Vendor
    • Seller Testimonial

      A delight to deal with
      I have 37 years experience as a property lawyer based in central London dealing with estate agents on a daily basis. My husband (also a retired property lawyer) were very careful about who we chose to market our property a grade 2 listed building. JSS in Dorking did not disappoint they were very professional gave good advice and a delight to deal with.I would definitely recommend them to other potential sellers

      Mrs M, Vendor
    • Seller Testimonial

      So glad I used Jackson's to sell mine
      An absolutely lovely team of people. Selling your home is a stressful time and and Nikki and the team at JSS where professional and supportive throughout the whole process.. I had to deal with numerous agents whilst buying another property and some where awful. I'm so glad I used Jackson's to sell mine. Highly recommend them!

      Mrs H, Vendor
    • Seller Testimonial

      Excellent service from start to finish
      The team at Jackson-Stops in Dorking provided an excellent service from start to finish. Everyone proved to be professional, helpful, efficient and therefore a joy to deal with. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

      Mrs B, Vendor
    • Seller Testimonial

      Enthusiastic, hardworking and helped smooth things
      We had quite a wait to sell our house as our first buyers had to pull out, but we soon got more interest and eventually the sale we wanted. All the team were very enthusiastic, hardworking and helped smooth things along so we could exchange and complete in the right timscale. Would recommend them.

      Mrs G, Vendor
    • Seller Testimonial

      Very effective and proactive
      Very efficient process. Staff were highly communicative throughout the sales process of a unique property in Betchworth and very effective and proactive in overcoming any problems that arose. Highly recommended.

      Mr C, Vendor
    • Seller Testimonial

      Highly recommend Jackson Stops in Dorking
      We would highly recommend Jackson Stops in Dorking. The staff are professional and very experienced. We used them to sell our property and they gave us regular up-dates and advice. Moving home can be stressful but Jackson Stops made the experience as smooth as possible by continuously chasing solicitors and other buyers in the chain.

      Mrs P, Vendor
    • Seller Testimonial

      So glad that we chose the right agent!
      The whole team were very professional in a helpful and friendly way, and we sold our house within two weeks. There was then a very lengthy period to exchange and completion, due to problems down the chain, and Corinne in particular went above and beyond in chasing all the agents / solicitors, and keeping the developer of our new home in the loop, so that they put up with the delays. So glad that we chose the right agent!

      Mr P, Vendor
    • Seller Testimonial

      Every member of the team
      We were highly recommend Jacksons Stops by 2 friends who had recently sold their house in Dorking and we are now highly recommending them again. Very professional, personable, efficient and effective service from every member of the team. Thank you for managing what was a quiet difficult process so well.

      Mrs Y, Vendor
    • Seller Testimonial

      Not found a better agent
      We recently bought a house and sold a house via JSS Dorking and once again was very impressed with their approach. Professional yet friendly, open and honest, supportive especially when the process invariably becomes stressful. From Alan and the whole team including Corinne, Chris, Darryl each one of them clearly valued our business and did their utmost to support us through the process. I have not found a better agent in the local area that really understands the market, knows the area in depth and can communicate effectively.

      Mr A, Vendor
    • Seller Testimonial

      You won't be disappointed.
      Having attempted unsuccessfully with another supposed 'high end' estate agent in Dorking we were left bitterly disappointed given their unrealistic over-promise and under-delivery. We initially brought in the services of Jackson Stops and Staff (JSS) to value our property and bid for our business. We also brought in the aforementioned agent as we had used a previous branch before. We were splitting hairs and the only reason the other company got our business was our previous experience with another branch: this was a mistake which cost us in terms of time and lots of effort in poor quality viewings. We should have employed the services of JSS from the outset. All the team at JSS, headed by Darrell Hughes Dorking, have been magnificent. Communication could not have been better and the respect they showed us was exemplary. Corinne Mangan was our primary associate who kept us informed throughout and was always on hand to offer advice and assistance in the most friendly efficient, realistic and courteous manner. We quickly developed a very respectful relationship. Corinne could not have worked harder for us. We have no hesitation in recommending the whole team at JSS and we shall also have no hesitation employing their services ourselves should the need ever once again arise. Jackson Stops and Staff Dorking really deserve your business. You won't be disappointed.

      Mr H, Vendor

      Worth every penny of their fee
      The Jackson Stops, Dorking team are without doubt the best local team to sell your house. Their systems are more efficient than others I have experienced but they are also relentlessly professional, courteous and good humoured. My house took a while to sell but their effort remained at 100% until the job was done. The selling chain further down the line was problematical but they went above and beyond with constant phone calls to all concerned. I think the chain may have collapsed without the efforts of the Dorking team. On the subject of 'teams', everyone in the office is involved with every sale, so you are never without an instant contact. Worth every penny of their fee.

      Mr B, Vendor
    • Seller Testimonial

      Very personal service
      I cannot recommend the team at Dorking Jackson Stops highly enough. They kept me informed and did all the liaising with my buyer and various agents and solicitors through the whole process. It was a stressful time, but they made it so much easier. They were all "in the know" about my sale and had all visited the property and met me, so I was able to put a face to the voice. A very personal service, professional and efficient, always cheery and courteous. A big, big thank you to Corinne who led my sale, also to Chris who was at the end of the phone on exchange and completion, and to Darryl and all the others who all played their part.

      Mrs P, Vendor
    • Seller Testimonial

      Essential to keeping the whole thing together
      An excellent service throughout. There were problems on throughout the chain and I am sure Jacksons diligence & professionalism through the whole process was essential to keeping the whole thing together. I would not hesitate in recommending them or using them again.

      Mr T, Vendor
    • Seller Testimonial

      Thank you with all my heart
      From the very first meeting, right through to the completion of the sale of my house, I had the most wonderful support and help from the whole team in Dorking. We had a very tight schedule within which to exchange and complete, and you were all quite marvellous in the professional way you dealt with everything. No problem was too much to deal with, and I so appreciated the warmth and courtesy from everyone involved. Every call I made was handled with the utmost professionalism, and your advice was always excellent. Thank you with all my heart for achieving the price I wanted, and for responding immediately to any query or worry that I had. Nicki, in particular, was terrific in making everything go so smoothly, and couldn't have been more helpful in sorting out various problems that came up. Thank you so much, Nicki! The entire experience was exceptional, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend you to friends - I've already told everyone how terrific you all were. You're a tremendous team. Thank you all so much.

      Mrs G, Vendor

      Dogged in his determination
      We felt that we wanted to write to express our appreciation following the sale of our house. We have been involved with seven house sales during our lives and had used six different estate agents. We have to say that none of those experiences were good from the point of view either of the estate agents or of the way in which the sales were handled. However, we had never used Jackson-Stops & Staff before. To be honest, we chose JSS because they had more 'Sold' signs in the local area than any other agent. We were very impressed and in no way did we regret our choice. The staff were always very professional in their dealings with us and with potential buyers but were friendly too. We appreciated the feedback forms which were sent to us on a weekly basis, giving details of viewings and follow-up communication. We found those particularly useful. Messages were always passed through promptly and acted upon swiftly. Communication was regular by both e-mail and telephone. We always knew the current position. However, the sale of our house was not the straightforward process that we had all hoped for. The first buyer pulled out of the sale three days after our proposed date for exchange, despite the hard work of both Chris and Darrell. The second buyer did eventually exchange contracts but only after a few last-minute delays and Chris's intensive and close monitoring of the chain. Chris, in particular, was dogged in his determination to ensure it did not fall apart. His confidence and reassurance was really appreciated.We would certainly (and are) recommending JSS to friends. In fact, we are now buying a property through JSS as well, so we will experience the process from the buyer's point of view too. (Chris may need a long holiday by the time we stop the daily telephone calls and disappear from the computer screen!) We both hope that all your other sales proceed a lot more smoothly; otherwise we can see your team ageing very quickly!

      Interviewing 5 other agents
      We both sold and bought through Jackson Stops in Dorking and found the whole team extremely professional. The sales team handled both the sale and purchase extremely professionally and sorted the inevitable issues that arose with calm and efficiency. The back office team were also spot on with all the admin and paperwork. In addition the team were friendly and personable. We spent some time interviewing 5 other agents before putting our house on sale and have not been disappointed with our choice of appointing Jackson Stops in Dorking.

      The driving force
      I bought a house through Jackson-Stops & Staff Dorking a couple of months ago. I dealt mainly with Nicki Perrin who was fabulous throughout, helping me both with the purchase of my new property and the sale of my old property. She was incredibly helpful throughout and was the driving force for pushing through the contracts and getting completion within a specific time frame. I found the staff generally very friendly and always willing to help and offer support and guidance. I would certainly use Jackson-Stops again when it comes to selling my property in the future and would highly recommend them to others.

      Mrs R, Purchaser
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Mr H, Purchaser
    • Buyer Testimonial

      Worked tirelessly
      Chris and team at Dorking worked tirelessly to make a very traumatic sale go through for us. The buyer of our house put ridiculous obstacles in the way and stupid amounts of stress on the move but the staff supported and worked over and above to keep us all going. Not your typical stereo typed estate agents at all! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jackson stops to anyone thinking of buying or selling through them. Thank you Chris and team x
