      Stags were professional regarding the sale of our property. Brochure was well presented and they are particularly knowledgeable about the local area. We found them willing to do viewings even at weekends and out of normal office hours. We would not hesitate in using them again and highly recommend them.

    • Seller Testimonial

      Quite simply remarkable.
      We have nothing but praise for Rob Ayre and the team at Stags, South Molton. Rob's knowledge of the area, his expertise in marketing, and his handling of the sale of my sister's house, keeping everything and everyone on track, despite lengthy delays in the Probate Office were quite simply remarkable. The property is rather out of the way (and also 300 miles from where we live) but he and Adrian handled repeated viewings with cheerfulness and efficiency, kept us well informed about progress, and offered useful advice. They were a tremendous help at a very difficult time, always friendly, and sympathetic while pressing on with the process to a successful conclusion.
