Jackson-Stops has expanded its network with the addition of three new directors, bringing significant industry experience.
The recent growth has resulted in new office openings in Cheltenham and Oundle, along with plans to establish more locations in the Cotswolds and Northamptonshire.
Chris Jarrett has opened the Jackson-Stops Cheltenham office after 13 years at Savills, where he was head of office.
Marcus Browne has taken over the Taunton office from Brian Bishop, who remains as a consultant.
Browne joined from Knight Frank and has also worked at Strutt & Parker, Savills, and Winkworth.
Brendan May will open a new Jackson-Stops office in Oundle.
He brings experience from his time as a partner, growth and training director at Hortons, focusing on unique and design-led homes.
May has a background in estate agency and business coaching, offering new marketing strategies to the group.
Jarrett said: “In the competitive world of estate agency, brand strength is everything.
“Jackson-Stops stands out as an undoubtedly top-tier brand that offers agents the perfect combination of autonomy and brand recognition. This is precisely why I chose to join.
“The challenges of the current market have only reinforced the value of my decision.
Jarrett added: “In a year marked by political and economic headwinds, I’m attracting fresh contacts who immediately recognize and respect the brand – something that’s critically important in today’s estate agency landscape.”
“The recent Jackson-Stops conference was a revelation.
“After nearly 30 years in the industry, I can honestly say it was the most purposeful and inspiring professional event I’ve ever attended.
He said: “It wasn’t just a conference; it was a testament to the network’s commitment to its agents, delivering insights and opportunities with remarkable integrity.
“Joining Jackson-Stops wasn’t just a career move – it was a strategic decision to elevate my professional potential and connect with a network that truly understands the modern estate agency landscape.”
Nick Leeming, chairman at Jackson-Stops, said: “The recent additions of Chris, Marcus and Brendan to the Jackson-Stops network underscore the great opportunities for ambitious estate agents to join an established brand.
“Our unique Group structure enables members to run their own business while accessing centralised resources, support and national brand visibility.
Leeming added: “We are particularly focused on expanding along the M4 corridor between Windsor and Bristol, seeking driven professionals specialising in mid to higher-value country markets.
“Estate agents operating in this area who align with our values and are looking for the challenge, excitement and rewards of running their own business are encouraged to make contact.”
