J.R. Hopper & Co.

Family-run since 1886

Meet the Team

Two couples, four brothers, three cousins, two sisters and eighteen friends, all living and working across the Dales. For the sake of the website, we've done our best to arrange ourselves into groups - but we all muck in and do a bit of everything when it comes down to it. We're a very helpful bunch like that!

Putting names to faces and faces to names is important. We'd like you to know who you're talking to, who you're meeting and who you're inviting into your home and words can never convey as much as a smile.

The valuers

These wonderful wanderers tour the Dales, giving you tailored advice on the best strategy to sell your home. A good market appraisal goes way beyond the price tag; motivations are personal - advice should be too.

Years (decades) of experience are shared out between these four, and there's simply no substitute for local knowledge and well-worn shoes. We take the shoes off at the door, but the experience and instinct are hard to shake.

Selling it & seeing it through

These fine folks are the ones dedicated to finding you a buyer, handling offers, chasing the chain and keeping all the paperwork straight - right up to the day the keys change hands.

They'll look after you from the day of instruction right up to the day of completion. They'll be the faces you see in the office, the voices you hear on the phone and the people behind the words you read.

Out and about

This brilliant bunch are who you'll mostly meet out in the field (sometimes literally) - opening up for viewings whatever the weather, whatever the time, and, in Paul's case, making sure our For Sale boards go up dead straight.

Give them a wave if you spot them on your travels!

In the background

This trusty twosome keep the wheels turning out of sight, looking after the numbers, the tech, the staff, the schools, the sponsorships and the local causes that matter to us. You might never deal with them directly, but they're there all the same.

…and the next generation

That's not quite everyone. Most years we take on a school-leaver for the summer or someone on work experience - faces you won't generally find here. They muck in with the rest of us all the same, and we're proud to give Dales youngsters their first taste of working life.
