We have recently had a change of ownership and our new Team are dynamic, focused and experienced property experts who all live locally and understand and know the areas that we work in - we deal with everyone professionally and work towards their needs, and not ours. We embrace modern marketing techniques - Social Media and Facebook together with a huge investment in online advertising really means that you can be assured that we are exploring every avenue in the search to expose your property to the widest audience possible and therefore achieve the best price - but also still believe that picking up the telephone and having conversations with people is what Estate Agency is all about! We have a large, corner office close to the mainline railway station that benefits from huge footfall everyday!

Business Aim Our sole desire is for our Vendors and Purchasers to experience the very best in customer service whilst achieving the best prices and timescales that suit all parties. At Jacobs & Hunt, we realise that you may not be up to date with how to sell your home, what is expected of you as a Seller or how the process works and what your expectations should be. We will explain clearly and precisely what we do, when we do it and how it will make the moving process easier and clearer for you to understand. We want everyone to enjoy the Sales experience when using Jacobs & Hunt and relax in the knowledge that your requirements and expectations will be managed effectively by a team of qualified professionals who really care about your needs.

Bespoke Service Jacobs & Hunt hold a select stock of residential Sales properties at any one time and that way we can offer a genuinely specialised, bespoke service where we work very closely with our Seller Clients - that way we can give 100% attention to our Clients - 100% of the time. This is in tune when assisting our prospective Purchasers as we can spend much more time getting to know and understand their needs, desires and future plans - this means they are much more likely to proceed with the property of their choice - in the right location, at the right price and within the right timescale - and far less likely for the transaction to fall through.

Community We like to give back to the community, to the companies and individuals that make Petersfield and the surrounding villages such an amazing place to live, work and bring up families, and are proud to be associated as founding friends for The Petersfield School.
