Our Story
Michael Jones started in Worthing on 13th May 1991. Three decades on, and we remain a local, friendly high-street business and one of the largest independent estate agents in the South East – proudly serving tens of thousands of customers across West Sussex and into Hove.
We have six branches across West Sussex in Worthing, Lancing, Rustington, Goring, Findon, and Ferring – and a sister company Brand Vaughan based in East Sussex, covering Hove, Kemptown, Preston Park and Brighton Marina.
As a company, we are keen to continue to innovate and grow to meet and exceed our client’s needs but also to preserve the company’s DNA, providing a local, trusted service. Our heritage and traditions are something we’re all very proud of, and we know they’re something we will always stay true to.
Our business is built on trust and integrity, and is at the very heart of everything we do! We treat everyone individually, offering bespoke advice, which in turn builds long-term relationships with our clients to make better property decisions.
We are your local property experts.
