Despite my house not fitting the criteria of those Jackson-Stops typically sell, James very kindly visited to assist with guidance. He passed onto me a list of architects, one of whom is now assisting me with the best way to tackle the issue of creating parking. There was no gain for James to visit to him so I am very grateful.

We have just bought a house on Exmoor which was being marketed by Jackson-Stops Barnstaple. Katie was our main point of contact and she was an absolute delight to deal with - friendly, professional and very responsive. She wanted both the seller and the buyer to have the best possible experience and made it happen. We can’t recommend her enough.

Jackson-Stops, in particular Katie and James have been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our house purchase. They are extremely easy to communicate with, they answered our many frequent requests and questions quickly and efficiently. We are new to North Devon so their knowledge of the local area has been invaluable. They have made the whole process from start to finish a thoroughly good experience and we cannot thank them enough. We would thoroughly recommend them to future house buyers and sellers and if we ever move again we will definitely be instructing them to act on our behalf.

We would like to thank all of the Jackson-Stops team for getting the sale of our property over the line. At times it seemed like it was unlikely to happen, probably one of the longest to exchange we have ever had when selling a property.
Personal thanks to Katie who kept us all positive and informed along the way. Katie certainly played her part in getting the sale of our property to exchange. We have even ended up with 6.5 weeks between exchange and completion which has taken the pressure off organising everything. We cannot recommend them enough, from the start James was straight talking and not pushy and the whole team helped us find the perfect buyer.

We interviewed a number of N Devon agents to sell my mother's old farmhouse and appointed Jackson-Stops because James Carroll seemed the best able to identify and market its unique characteristics. Not only did he achieve a price considerably above the expected range but he was also very effective and professional in dealing with all queries expeditiously. He generally made himself available whenever I called and, if not, I heard back from him very soon afterwards. I have no hesitation in recommending Jackson-Stops N Devon to anyone considering selling their property.

We have had the good fortune to both buy a property through Jackson-Stops Barnstaple and sell one. Both experiences were extremely positive and when difficulties occurred (as they generally do in this process), we felt James and Ria were totally committed to the right outcome and very supportive. Besides always contacting you when they say they’re going to (a small thing perhaps, but it’s by no means always the case), always being professional and an absolute delight to deal with, the crux is, we trusted them, their judgement and experience. In a difficult market and at the stressful time that house buying and selling always is, this is worth quids. Thank you James and Ria. I would not have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them.

Tireless Help & Support from the Barnstaple Branch.
We cannot speak too highly of the help, support and encouragement we received from James Carroll and his wife Ria at Jackson-Stops, Barnstaple. They fully understood the significance to us of the move we were making, and never made light of it. And they gave us assistance and advice with our purchase (which was not through Jackson-Stops) as well as our sale.
They were so completely professional in their work for us, but also friendly and supportive, pushing and battling for us, or asking a pointed question, or making a diplomatic phone call, at just the right moments. And when the going got tough, there was no-one else I would have wanted watching our back.
We have made a life-changing move, very much for the better, and James and Ria played a very significant role in making that happen.
Thank you.

As seasoned house movers we have experienced estate agents across the range. Ria and James from Jackson-Stops North Devon are without a shadow of a doubt the best there are. We have never worked with such a professional, efficient and caring team. Their recommended photographer was exceptional, and they worked with us to produce a really beautiful brochure, presenting our home at its absolute best, resulting in 125 enquiries, and several offers, which they helped us to decide upon, resulting in progression to a successful sale, despite a very long wait for our buyers. When things got a bit tricky in the lead up to exchange, Ria was right there easing things along with the legal teams and the other estate agents in the chain, whilst communicating fully with us and our buyers. Jackson-Stops North Devon are the best in the business.

We purchased a fantastic property in Braunton from Ria at Jackson-Stops. This could have been a difficult process as we live many miles away from the property but with Ria's help and support, the purchase was completed smoothly and in a good timeframe. We look forward to developing the property and highly recommend working with the Jackson-Stops team.

We highly recommend the team at Jackson Stops who made the purchase of our new home in N Devon as smooth and stress-free as possible. James and Ria were an absolutely breath of fresh air to deal with after many experiences with much less trustworthy/professional estate agents in Bristol. Proof that there are extremely helpful, efficient and honest estate agents out there. We are so grateful to James and Ria at Jackson-Stops Barnstaple!

Professional, Straightforward & very Responsive
As buyers, we were impressed that Jackson-Stops Barnstaple were, unfailingly, all of the above. They struck a great and hard to strike balance of working for us as buyers and their original client, the vendors. We made it clear that we had a looming stamp duty deadline and they clearly worked hard to help us meet it. Particularly of note is how very responsive they are, which really help to speed the process.
A very pleasant transaction and thanks gain for helping us meet that deadline.
Impressed by the service we enjoyed and would be pleased to deal with the Jackson-Stops Barnstaple team again.

I recently purchased a property through Jackson-Stops, both Ria and James were incredibly professional, helpful, diligent and relaxed throughout the whole process. I aimed to get the purchase done quickly and Ria was so helpful working with both parties solicitors the vendor and myself. Communication was clear and frequent so I knew what was happening. I absolutely recommend them.
Ria and James also have a lovely office dog and its well worth going to meet them to fuss over their dog.

I can't rate Jackson-Stops Barnstaple enough. From the initial visit through to the completion, James & Ria were so professional (something that is often lost in these times). Our sale was of a non-standard property and I was worried that we would waste a lot of time but they vetted viewings perfectly. Their communication of viewings, offers, negotiations and the progressing of the legal side was outstanding. We sold "the village in a village" within 3 weeks and completion within a further 15, with Covid-19 and stamp duty pressures adding to the process. This is the first property sale I've ever had (and there have been a few!) where I actually believed the estate agents were working on my behalf.
Would definitely recommend!

I would like to share briefly my recent experience of selling my house in north Devon. Originally it was my intention to use another well-known agent based in Barnstaple, but the service I received from them was below the standard I expected. I chose Jackson -Stops through recommendation and I can now fully concur with that recommendation. The service I received was far superior and at a more competitive rate than the other agent. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Jackson Stops.

Ria Carrol helped us find our own 'Escape to the Country', we'd almost given up and we're resigned to head back home and look at renting in North Devon so we didn't lose our buyer in Sussex. She knew what we wanted and knew she had a property that might work for us, then negotiated with the vendor on our behalf. She gave us the time we needed to view the property and kept us informed every step of the (very stressful) way to exchange through to completion. A job well done Ria, thank you! ????

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you Ria and James. I'm very impressed by the way you handled my sale, particularly after the bidding war. All managed to go through on the last day of the main stamp duty holiday saving me a good amount of money too. I thoroughly recommend you - far better than any other agent I have used, everything was dealt with promptly and professionally. Thank you once again.

My wife and I purchased a property from Ria at Jackson-Stops. We were set the challenge to complete within 6 weeks. I am not sure we could have done it without the proactivity and professionalism that Ria showed. Great to deal with and I felt she went the extra mile to help us overcome obstacles. I highly recommend.

We were buyers of a property listed by Jackson Stops. We experienced some uncertainty towards the end of the conveyancing process and were nervous that the entire sale would fall apart. Thankfully, the communication from James and Ria was positive, consistent, and high quality. If James said he would contact me by the next morning with news, he did. I credit them with saving the entire purchase by making sure we had a trusted avenue to share relevant information. Very grateful for their efforts!

We recently purchased our home with the help of James. From viewing the property to completion, it was made so much easier with his support. He was always quick to respond and helped to keep things moving along. The process would have been much more stressful without him! Thanks to all at Jackson-Stops Barnstaple.

We first met James when he showed us around the house we eventually bought. We immediately felt at ease and liked his professionalism and knowledge. We decided to put our house sale in his and Ria's safe hands and never regretted it.
They were both friendly, experienced, efficient and always on hand throughout the sale and purchase processes. James and Ria definitely made the whole process much less stressful. We have no hesitation in recommending them and Jackson Stops.

We could not recommend Jackson Stops, North Devon enough. From start to finish they have shown incredible professionalism, knowledge, honesty and most importantly outstanding service. Previously, we had our property on the market with two other local agents with no success. But, with James and Ria's wonderful partnership they proved the right people for the job. Thank you very much!

James and Ria were an excellent team, selling our small farm during a really busy and difficult time - stamp duty holiday and covid lockdowns. As well as offering the high quality and professional service I would expect, they were completely on the ball at keeping things together further down the chain when issues arose and keeping us informed and reassured. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. They put the service offered by the other agents completely in the shadows.

James and Ria Carroll of Jackson-Stops, Barnstaple are probably the most professional estate agents in North Devon. They have successfully sold our lovely farmhouse and have shown fantastic communication skills, excellent attention to detail and overall a great job well done. I highly recommend them.

Our contact was with James for the purchase of a house where Jackson Stops were the selling agent.
This was a completely positive experience. James was quick to respond, and consistently helpful in keeping things moving forward and resolving the various issues that always crop up during the conveyancing process. We have bought and sold several properties over the past few years and have experienced a wide range of standards from different agents, James was both professional and friendly.

I can only highly recommend James and Ria at Jackson Stops for providing us with the utmost professional service. Our sale was not helped by the fact that there were four of us involved in the sale, two of whom did not live locally. The marketing material for the property was slick: very attractively and professionally presented. We were given good advice and ongoing guidance (very important as for two of us it was our first experience of a sale) , plenty of viewings and ultimately a sale at the full asking price. We found them friendly, offering the best of service and definitely at the top of their game.

In my experience Jackson Stops North Devon offer an unrivalled level of personal service coupled with high quality expertise. They are willing to go the extra mile to ensure that their clients' needs - whether buying or selling - are paramount. Flexible and adaptable in their approach they retain the highest standard of professionalism throughout the often tricky and unpredictable process of buying or selling a property while retaining an informal personal touch. In my experience, they are a cut above other agents who market a similar level of property.

James at Jackson Stops in North Devon is superb and I can t recommend him and them enough. He has worked tirelessly to help me sell my house. it was made harder as neither myself or the buyer lived locally to the property. He kept everyone informed and help chased solicitors on both sides until completion. the whole service was utterly professional and I would recommend him and them to anyone.

James and the team at Jackson Stops have been professional, enthusiastic and helpful throughout the sale process following up diligently with viewings and helping keep the sale on track. They have gone above and beyond the normal service to ensure the house was shown in the best condition. We would have no hesitation recommending Jackson Stops.

After a frustrating year with another local agent we had had few viewings and little obvious support and enthusiasm from the agent. As a result we decided to transfer to the newly opened Barnstaple branch of Jackson Stops & Staff.
From the start the service provided by James Carroll and the team at Jackson Stops and Staff was superb and continued at that level throughout the long and at times frustrating process of selling our home.
His initial advice on pricing the property was realistic and the marketing effort better targeted than before, giving rise to a steady stream of enquiries and viewings from potential purchasers, all of whom were followed up diligently by the team.
James was very happy to accompany each viewing and spent considerable time on each viewing extolling the virtues of the house to potential purchasers.
In spite of having two sets of purchasers drop out just before we were due to exchange contracts James remained enthusiastic about the prospects of a sale.
Thankfully, our third attempt at a sale went through smoothly in no small part due to the work that James put in with the solicitors and surveyors to ensure there were last minute problems.
My wife and I would have no hesitation in recommending the service provided by James Carroll and the team at Jackson Stops and Staffs to anyone considering selling their property in North Devon.
