What Rohrs & Rowe does

Rohrs & Rowe (legally R&R Cornwall Ltd) is a privately held, founder-owned estate agency based in St Austell, Cornwall, UK, founded in 2016 by Matthew Rowe and Martyn Rohrs, both former senior staff at Savills. The agency specialises in the sale of premium and aspirational properties across Cornwall, including coastal homes, country houses, period properties, and distinctive character homes, serving affluent individual buyers and sellers. The operating model is high-touch and relationship-driven: the two directors personally oversee every sale from initial valuation through to completion, providing direct client access throughout the transaction lifecycle.

The company's service portfolio centres on traditional estate agency — property valuation, marketing, viewings, negotiation, and sales progression — complemented by in-house professional photography, drone videography, glossy brochure production, and curated off-market/private marketing campaigns using an internal buyer database. The firm publishes the Aspirational Living magazine (in partnership with TBC Publishing) and maintains an extensive content library of Cornwall area guides, which serve as both a marketing asset and an SEO/content moat. Distribution is multi-channel: major property portals (Rightmove, Zoopla, PrimeLocation), premium glossy magazine advertising, and editorial relationships with regional and national press including The Sunday Times and Cornwall Living.

Revenue is generated entirely through transaction-based commission on individual property sales, with no subscription, SaaS, or recurring revenue components. The company holds no external funding, operates a single office, and has no subsidiaries. Rohrs & Rowe is a member of The Property Ombudsman (TPO) and the Trading Standards Consumer Codes Approval Scheme, and has won Best Estate Agency in Cornwall at the International Property Awards five times in its first six years of operation, including a Five-Star accolade and a UK-wide shortlist.
