A Legacy of Excellence

Rohrs & Rowe have built an enviable reputation rooted in trust, expertise and an ability to deliver remarkable results.

This year marks the ninth year in business for Rohrs & Rowe, a milestone that firmly establishes them in Cornwall’s estate agency sector. Their innovative and progressive approach has redefined estate agency services within the county, earning them the prestigious title of Best Estate Agency in Cornwall on six occasions from the renowned International Property Awards. Their most recent accolade, for the 2024/25 period, was presented at a gala dinner at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London, further cementing their reputation in the region’s property market.

For founders Martyn and Matthew, these awards reflect their unwavering commitment. Matthew explains: “After years in corporate agencies, Martyn and I formed a vision to disrupt the status quo and offer something truly different. When we launched Rohrs & Rowe in 2016, estate agencies were largely one-dimensional, offering limited use of technology and mostly standardised approaches. We saw an opportunity to innovate with professional drone and video technology, leverage the global reach of social media, craft engaging visuals and narratives that highlight a property’s lifestyle appeal – all while maintaining the highest customer service standards. We’ve also carefully built our exceptional team of professionals, who are all dedicated to their craft. It’s incredibly rewarding to see how our vision has reshaped the industry over the last decade.”

Looking ahead, Martyn comments: “Our goal is always to stay ahead of the curve. For 2025, we have introduced new technology and marketing strategies exclusively available in Cornwall through Rohrs & Rowe. These advancements will further enhance our extensive marketing capabilities, enabling us to target and reach wider national and international audiences and deliver the best outcomes for our clients. Our commitment ensures we don’t just market houses – we sell them. We invite anyone considering selling their home to contact us for a confidential discussion, whether their property is new to the market or has struggled via a different approach.”

Their success stories for 2024 include a Georgian property once home to Cornish artist John Miller. The property proved perfect for an international couple starting a luxury bed-and-breakfast, and Rohrs & Rowe’s expert handling ensured a smooth transaction, despite the requirement for a change of use. The clients summed it up: “Fantastic guidance and service throughout. Calm, polite, reassuringly experienced, solid communication throughout the process and a range of brilliant marketing, which found the right buyers for our property in a timely way.”

Rohrs & Rowe excel in navigating challenging market conditions, as shown by Compass Point in Mevagissey. Despite entering the market during a cooling period, their strategic marketing and unwavering dedication secured a buyer captivated by the property’s location and exceptional sea views. The owners commented: “Rohrs & Rowe are a professional team who stand out amongst estate agents, with a wealth of experience and knowledge that extends across Cornwall. From start to finish, we received sound, honest advice, and they were with us every step of the way – always communicative, supportive, and proactive. Their photography was outstanding. Having dealt with many property transactions and estate agents over the years, Rohrs & Rowe outshines them all, and we would not hesitate to recommend them.”

Their adaptability is evident in the sale of Treath at Praa Sands. Initially listed with another agent, it struggled to attract interest. Rohrs & Rowe revitalised the listing with evocative winter photography and a fresh strategy, generating immediate interest. The owners reflected: “Having attempted a sale through a local agent the previous year, we decided to market our house with Rohrs & Rowe in the hope of appealing to a wider market. It was a very different and more professional experience, which was immediately apparent with the quality of photographs and the brochure they produced. They took the time to get to know our property and its unique selling points. We were very fortunate that our buyers were found within two weeks, and we managed to sell during a very uncertain and changeable housing market. We are very grateful that we chose to sell through Rohrs & Rowe and have no hesitation in recommending them.” 

Attention to detail defines their approach, as seen with Ansells, a stunning modern residence on the Roseland Peninsula boasting outstanding sea views. Selling such a unique home required a bespoke campaign showcasing its design and location through targeted national advertising and stunning visuals. The owners said: “We were so impressed by their professionalism, understanding of the market, and unfailing courtesy and support as they guided us through the process. The house was marketed with stunning photos and a video, and promoted with full-page advertisements in a range of magazines. We feel that Rohrs & Rowe went the extra mile to show the house in as many ways as possible and to its best advantage.”

Similarly, Trevethow, a four-bedroom cottage in Mullion, highlighted their creativity and precision. By focusing on its blend of historic charm and modern comforts, they quickly generated multiple offers. Client feedback described them as “Agile. Communicative. Proactive. Rohrs & Rowe are an exemplar for the rest of the industry. This is what good estate agency looks like.”

Rohrs & Rowe also excel in handling sensitive transactions. The owners of a beautiful Georgian farmhouse in Falmouth, located between two idyllic beaches, required discretion at the marketing stage. By leveraging their extensive database of contacts and buyers, Rohrs & Rowe conducted a quiet yet effective campaign. The clients commented: “We were impressed by their knowledge and lightness of touch in dealing with both ourselves and the purchasers. Their proven track record, outstanding photographic and video work, and immediate introduction of purchasers demonstrated their exceptional market insight.”

What sets Rohrs & Rowe apart is their approach. They go beyond simply listing properties on Rightmove by securing high-impact advertising in leading publications and extensive, targeted social media campaigns. Their philosophy of collaboration and innovation ensures they remain ahead of market trends. From compelling visuals to personalised strategies, they don’t just sell homes – they curate lifestyles. 

For anyone considering selling property in Cornwall, Rohrs & Rowe offers more than expertise – they offer a trusted partnership rooted in integrity and a shared vision for success. Cornwall’s property market is as diverse as its landscapes, from historic cottages to sleek, modern masterpieces. By focusing on what is unique, Rohrs & Rowe ensures every property stands out. Their results speak for themselves, and their ethos of collaboration and excellence leaves a lasting impression.

Whether selling a historic farmhouse, a contemporary haven, or something unusual or unique that would benefit from their approach, Rohrs & Rowe provides a service that is beyond the status quo. If you’re ready for your property to tell its unique story, there’s no one better equipped.
