We have just purchased a bungalow through Brights in Bideford. Neil Doble attended our first viewing and was our point of contact throughout. At the time we were living 200 miles away, so had to do a lot remotely, and Neil was fantastic, very friendly, providing very good, timely and clear communication throughout, and offered some good ideas for future rennovations. Thank you for helping our dreams to move to Devon come true.

We always wanted to use a local agent to manage our sale and are forever grateful for the support we received from Brights. Communication was excellent throughout the sale and we were kept up to date with all processes through regular phone contact. We are grateful to Simon and Neil for their support in marketing the property and finding worthy new owners.

I've recently completed on a house sale with Brights and I would highly recommend Neil, Simon and the rest of the team for their professionalism, local knowledge and always keeping in touch. Nothing was ever too much trouble (and that is coming from a fellow estate agent.)

It has taken over a year to finally move to Barnstaple and Simon has supported us throughout our journey. Nothing was too much trouble. We love our new home. The Johns hamper was a very thoughtful gift.

We were very happy to use Kevin, Simon and Neil to sell our property as we had used them 13years previously to survey the property before buying. They were always friendly, helpful and professional throughout the process, with great communication. The pictures and drone footage online were amazing and really showed the property at its best. Many thanks to the whole team for making what could have been a very stressful time as straightforward as possible. Would not hesitate to recommend their services!

My wife and I are grateful for great service from Brights in selling our bungalow; a big thanks for the care, attention and professionalism provided. We were kept informed throughout the process in difficult market circumstances. It was a pleasure dealing with Brights staff; all where polite and knowledgeable.

All at Brights were absolutely brilliant throughout the process of selling our home, and also buying through them too. The communication was brilliant and timely and we were kept in the loop 100% of the time which made the process a lot easier. Both Simon and Neil were super friendly and professional and I would recommend them to anyone, super service. Thanks Simon and Neil, we love our new forever home.

The team at Brights are superb, we bought and sold through them and couldn't rate more highly, minimal fuss, no nonsense, straight to the facts of the matter when any questions we had along the way came up and those that couldn't be answered immediately, they went away and came back with answers with the exact level of urgency you feel as a buyer/seller. Brights found us a buyer with the first viewing and negotiated a deal on our new home brilliantly. Would use again in a heartbeat. Very happy customers.

We just sold our house through Brights and have been extremely pleased with their service. They were a pleasure to deal with at all stages. Simon took a lot of time and care in preparing the sale brochure, photos and video, and was clearly very knowledgeable about valuations and the state of the market. We are very happy to recommend Brights unreservedly.

We recently chose Brights to sell our property, as they are a local family run business. Simon and team provided us with an excellent professional service from start to completion. Simon spent alot ot time carefully preparing the marketing information for our house and the photo's and video were really professional. The house sold on the second day of going to the market.

Honest, open and simply easy to deal with

I have bought and sold a few properties with each agent just doing enough to justify the fee! Simon came to see us following other local agents who just tried to be too smart and complicated. Simon is professional and honest and will give you his honest opinion, other agents in the area are over the top and just try to be to clever. I bought through Simon and due to the great service we also sold with Simon, I would not hesitate to recommend Brights to anyone who wants a pleasant, professional and honest service.

We have just sold our house through Brights and they were fantastic. Simon's photography and superb video showed our home in the best possible light. Neil was positive and supportive when the inevitable tricky moments occurred. Highly recommended :)

All the personal and professional service you could wish for

Brights were wonderful. We had only bought one house in the past and that was 40 years ago! We have sold a grade 2 listed building and Brights were marvellous with their advice and support. They liaised with our solicitors every step of the way which kept stress levels to a minimum. We bought a bungalow through Brights and nothing appeared too much trouble for Neil, Simon & Kevin. We couldn't recommend them more highly.
