John Burgoyne

John started Burgoynes Estate Agents in 2004 having already gained extensive knowledge and valuable experience in the housing industry over many years.

John is a proud Blundellian. His first day boarding at Blundell’s School in Tiverton was on his 13th birthday. At such a young age he soon learned how to be independent and develop a strong sense of inner confidence and self-belief. Learning the importance of good manners and excellent communication skills also shaped John into the person he is today and gave him the ambition and desire to build a company with the highest standards of customer service. He also excelled on the rugby pitch playing at the highest level at Blundell’s and then for Exeter and Devon explaining his drive and motivation to compete and succeed in business. Burgoynes is now firmly established and recognised as one of Exeter’s most respected Estate Agents in the city providing exceptional standards of customer service, professionalism and outstanding marketing with the aim to exceed clients expectations every time. John’s listing and valuing skills are used daily in the business. He leads by example and his positive and gentlemanly manner is a much admired trait.

We understand that being an estate agency isn’t just about buying, selling and letting houses, it’s about building a community.

Our clients really matter to us

..and it shows!

We bought through Burgoyne and couldn’t fault the experience. Friendly, local family service where they clearly care about making the whole process as smooth as possible. Would absolutely recommend.

Lor Alexander - February 2025

Purchased 2 flats through Burgoynes. Highly recommend them and would definitely use them if selling. Thanks Jemma and Lyn

Scott Sterry - January 2025

Burgoyne is a first class Estate Agency. The team are all highly professional and friendly too. We received sound advice that enabled us to market our house in the best light. Everyone worked hard to secure our sale and kept us fully informed every step of the way. It always felt like we had a team truly acting on our behalf whilst being entirely honest and realistic. I could not recommend Burgoyne more highly. If only all estate agents were as honest, reliable and caring. Thank you John, Lyn and Jemma

Maggie B - December 2024

Jemma has been so helpful in getting my first home sorted. I truly believe she is an asset to this company- from prompt replies to going beyond to help solve queries. She is polite and excellent at her job. This lovely small team is highly recommended from me.

Sachin Chacko - November 2024

Brought with Burgoyne. Brilliant service. Very helpful!

Liam Ward - November 2024

I would highly recommend Burgoynes Exeter. All aspects of the sale and advice dealt with in a professional manner. Whilst my experience with selling property is minimal I was guided through the process with understanding and politeness. All the viewings were advised promptly and staff in the office were available to deal with any questions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Burgoynes.

Norman Wood - October 2024

Hi recently marketed and sold a property through Burgoynes, and I cannot speak highly enough of their service and attention to detail. I chose a local, family owned business, as I was not at all impressed by the big corporate alternatives, who would not take 'no thanks' for an answer. My recommendation would be to engage a team of people who actually care and take pride in their work.

Jay Forster - November 2024

Excellent estate agents. Would highly recommend especially for the Heavitree area. Really professional and amazing I could keep up-to-date with the process of the sale with their app/website sign in.
