As the years rolled by the company was passed down to his sons, so the focus of the business changed towards the selling of property as well.
CJ Hole continued to prosper and today is a major force within the highly competitive estate agency market in the South West. Their excellent reputation has helped CJ Hole to expand within Bristol, Somerset and Gloucestershire so that there are now many branches serving the area.
Today, having sold property in three different centuries and as one of the oldest estate agents throughout Bristol, Somerset and Gloucestershire, CJ Hole is regarded as one of the most highly professional property firms in the region with a tradition of providing a first class service to its customers.
CJ Hole are constantly looking to build upon their reputation which will ensure that it continues to be a major force within the market place.
