We bought and sold through James and James ES. From the very start of meeting Aaron at a viewing and then being inspired by him to value our property and Sarah escorting us around our chosen new abode more than once then Nick and his team Jo and Zoe for marketing and managing a large chain with a number of challenging obstacles over 5 months we we can’t fault their professionalism, and team work.
Their coupled knowledge of the industry and communicative ability ensured we were updated every step of the way which on occasion seemed like a roller coaster ride. Nicks experience particularly shined through with his diplomatic negotiating skills and we thank him for getting us over the line for our new adventure.
Thanks guys well done.

Staff always very helpful. I’d rate the overall experience of the service provided by J&J as excellent.

We have had excellent service from James & James from start to finish. It was certainly not an easy ride, with a broken chain , a flakey rogue valuer and what seemed like endless little set backs. All of this was skilfully managed by Nick. He is a terrier of estate agents and kept the show on the road even when it was looking bleak.
We felt we were kept fully appraised of the situation by Nick. The office staff were also most helpful and efficient
Paul Taylor-Moore 05/09/2026
Excellent service from start to finish and in between too !!
Clear guidance given to the process and costs. Feedback given after each viewing in a timely way.
Staff brilliant and courteous at all times, they supported us as a family throughout a challenging time for us all. Managed all viewings for us spending extra time explaining to elderly parents residing at the property.
HUGE thank you to the James & James team😁a special thank you to those who did the viewings especially Sarah who I’m sure spent more time than required on each visit ! We would not hesitate in recommending them or using them ourselves in the future 😊many thanks.
Karen and family

We were helped by Aaron at James & James to buy our property. He was so helpful, reliable and responsive. We wish we'd sold our previous property with him because he was so much more helpful than the agents we had the property listed with. Even when Aaron wasn't available his colleagues were responsive and helpful. Buying and selling was incredibly stressful and there were quite a few occasions where it felt like the only person responding to my stressy queries was Aaron!
We can't recommend this company highly enough. We wouldn't hesitate to go with them again in future. Thanks Aaron and colleagues!

Excellent service, my wife and I bought and sold with James &James Broadwater and we’ve had nothing short of a fantastic experience. Dealt primarily with Aaron who’s extremely helpful, patient and personable. Would definitely recommend if you’re thinking of making a move.

James and James were supportive, communicative and helpful from beginning to end with selling my family home. They listened to what I wanted and needed. The pictures taken for the sale of my 5 bedroom home were excellent and the marketing campaign strategic.
I found James and Jim very personable and easy to work with, and in fact the whole team have a bright, positive and organised approach that felt genuine, which can sometimes be lacking in estate agencies.
Aaron Baker dealt with the sale once we had secured a buyer. He was patient, professional and acted with integrity and honesty throughout, keeping both me and the buyers happy - no mean feat. I highly recommend him!
My situation has been particularly difficult for the estate agent, solicitor and me and my family due to a divorce being the reason for selling up. They were understanding and supportive, recognising the challenges of the situation and navigated them in a way that made things easier rather than harder.
James and James, thank you for getting me and my family over the finish line!

We’re really happy with the service we received from the team at James and James. Communication was great throughout, and we always felt like we were in good hands. A special mention to Aaron, who looked after us from the very beginning right through to exchanging contracts. He was always helpful and made the whole process feel much easier. We’d definitely recommend James and James to anyone looking for a reliable and friendly estate agent.
Heidi Downes 22/08/2026
Brought our first home through James & James. Nick was our estate agent and I do not have a single bad thing to say. Throughout the process he was amazing, keeping us constantly informed and chasing solicitors and further up the chain every step of the way!! Will 10000% be using James and James again, and thank you Nick for making the experience so pleasant :)
Abby May 20/08/2026
An excellent service, extremely efficient and professional. No hesitations in recommending James and James.
Sally Crocker 18/08/2026
Brilliant service from first contact to completion of sale. Easy to use portal provided up to date information on viewings and outcomes. Quickly secured buyer and liaised with everyone throughout process. There was no need for us to do any chasing, it was all done on our behalf. Couldn’t have asked for any more from the agent and would thoroughly recommend James & James. Special thanks to Sarah at the Goring office for making what is often a stressful experience into an easy one in.
Jo Lutman 11/08/2026
I’ve had a really positive experience with James & James Estate Agents as a first time buyer, particularly with Aaron, who has been looking after the sale.
Aaron has been responsive to my enquiries, kept me regularly updated throughout the process, and was always happy to help wherever he could. I really appreciated this as its quite a daunting process first time around.
I highly recommend James & James to anyone looking to purchase or sell a property.
Joe Cripps 11/08/2026
Really very good, Sarah kept us informed at all times, always got back to us with a phone call promptly and became someone we could trust, very professional, I would definitely recommend.
Dave Molly 04/08/2026
We couldn’t be happier with the service we received from James & James.
Communication was outstanding throughout we were always kept up to date, every question was answered promptly, and we always felt supported. A special thank you to Nick for his professionalism, knowledge, and genuine commitment to making everything run as smoothly as possible.
We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Nick and the James & James to anyone buying or selling a property.
Thank you all for making what can often be a stressful experience such a positive one, this purchase was an important one for us we are so grateful. Five stars all the way! Andy and Leanne.
Leanne Kyte 28/07/2026
Super friendly and helpful, they have made the whole process smooth. Highly recommend
If you think back 20-something years, you'll remember a time when there were few estate agents in Worthing and it was easier to make the choice on who you wanted handling the sale of your largest asset. Now, the market is flooded with estate agents of all different sizes, all making promises that you don't know whether to trust.
But see, that's our thing, trust. It's hard to earn, harder to keep, and easy to lose. So, in an age where there is just too much noise, we have decided to do things slightly differently.
Instead of just making verbal promises, we are putting our money where our mouth is. You see, most estate agents charge the same fee whether your home sells in a week or sits on the market for six months; but when you pride yourselves on service, that's not right. So we've done something no other agent in Worthing will: we've put our own fee on the line.
What does that mean? Simply that the longer it takes us to get your home sold, the less you pay us. It's the most honest way we know to say we're confident we'll get you moving; and it means proving it, not just promising it.
"It's the most honest thing we could think of," says James Brock, Co-Founder. "We're a local business. We live here, our kids go to school here, and we've spent years building our reputation on straight talking advice and no hard sell. This is just that, put into pounds and pence. If we're slow, that's on us, not on the family trusting us to sell their home."
And yes, we advertised it in true James & James style with a corker of an ad. If you're not familiar with The Full Monty, you're missing out.

Not heard of us yet? Here's the lowdown.
We're James and James (literally), although most people in Worthing know us as James Brock and Jim Bacon. We started James & James in 2020 after working under the corporate umbrella, and when it became clear that hitting targets was more important than the quality of service, we decided we could do estate agency better.
From our conservatory 6 years ago, to 3 offices in Goring, Broadwater and Ferring today, it's been a ride. We've spent every year since our opening building a reputation on straight talking, no hard sell, and the advice you need to hear rather than the advice you want to hear; and we're lucky enough to have a team who are wholly bought in to that ethos. We all understand that sometimes the truth can hurt, but we refuse to tell you what you want to hear simply to get your listing. That doesn't benefit anybody, especially you.

Here's why our sellers love us
They're not left to wonder: On average, we achieve offers for our sellers within 5.96 weeks - so no sitting around, wondering why you're not selling.
They move home, faster: Whereas the national average to get from accepting an offer to exchange is around 20 weeks, we've managed to whittle that down to 11 weeks (this includes commercial transactions).
Their sales are more secure: If you've sold before, you've likely experienced the pain of losing a buyer. Nationally, one third of all property sales fall apart. Only 11% of ours do.
They end up with more money in their pocket: Getting the price right the first time, and getting quicker offers, means we achieve an average of 98% of the asking price.
More than 300 local families have left us five-star reviews on Google. In fact, you'll likely hear James say "I care more about the reviews than I do the money - that's why I'm poor!" So this new promise we're putting out there is simply that reputation, put into pounds and pence.
___
Here's how it works:
Your home comes to market at a realistic price we agree together; the price that actually gets buyers through the door. From there, our fee steps down the longer it takes us to find your buyer. No long tie-ins that trick you into staying with us. No catch. Just an agent that's confident enough to be judged on how quickly they perform.
The best way to see exactly what it could mean for your home is to have us round for a free, no-obligation valuation. We'll walk you through the whole thing at your kitchen table, numbers and all.
Book your free valuation today, and we'll do the rest.
As we head towards September, we’re starting to see the autumn property market come back into focus across Worthing, Ferring, Broadwater and the surrounding areas.
Whether you're selling your home, letting an investment property or marketing commercial premises, choosing the right estate agent can make all the difference. Every agent promises excellent service, but it's worth comparing what they deliver.
