    Your property, our passion.

    If you're wondering what we do differently, the answer is everything. In fact, we don't think of ourselves as typical estate agents at all. We're genuine people with a huge passion for architecture and aesthetics. Our compassionate approach, love of design, and a desire to rethink the way property is managed and marketed, means we go further in every single area to make every detail work for you. Our leading sales figures are testament to the incredible customer service delivered by our whole team, and just one area of our business that we are immensely proud of.

    Thomas | Founder & CEO
    For Thomas, presentation is everything. Having worked in corporate and independent companies since 1999 and managing his first agency at the tender age of 21, Thomas had the insight and innovation to open Ralph James in 2015. His goal was to reshape the industry by combining modern marketing strategies with dedicated personal service - creating a new standard of buying and selling property. 

    When Thomas first came to work in Reigate and Redhill, he loved what he saw. Reigate was the traditional darling of the two, a charming town with wonderful shops and schools surrounded by verdant countryside. Redhill was ripe with potential, with its collection of neighbourhoods, rail links to London and exciting central regeneration. They were the perfect places to launch Ralph James, which continues to expand to new locations under Thomas' charismatic leadership and pioneering spirit. 

    Thomas is a keen developer himself and his passion for property knows no bounds. From renovating his own home to selling yours, there is no limit to the high standards he implements. He's a dedicated family man, sports enthusiast and a true country soul - all values that permeate the company culture.

      Paul | Managing Director
      Born in Brighton and raised in 'Hove Actually', Paul started his property career in 2006, working for an established family-run business in Kemp Town. After a short stint in finance, Paul knew that people and property was his calling. 

      At 20, he moved to London and within 18 months became the top performing agent in one of the city's largest estate firms. This was rewarded by a promotion to Sales Manager, which made him the youngest in the company's 30-year history to hold that position. In 2017, Paul then opened his own franchise Estate Agency in which the business had a very successful 5+ years - as well as running second prime sales business in West London. In his short career, he's managed and sold £420,000,000 worth of sales for clients. 

      Paul had been a superfan of Ralph James since it opened and always had a feeling he'd be part of the family one day. He's delighted to hold the position of Managing Director and has broad sights for the continued growth of the company. He approaches every day with a positive attitude and forges meaningful, long-lasting connections with clients. Paul loves working but when he's not, he makes time for Mrs Cooney, his family and friends, as well as enjoying hot yoga, jogging and football.

      Testimonials from Sellers

      • Seller Testimonial

        Ralph James' marketing is really impressive
        Marie-Elise worked incredibly hard within a severe downturn in the uk's economic conditions to find a buyer and complete the sale of our house. There were a few last - minute issues to overcome, but Marie-Elise proactively and calmly facilitated the quick resolution of these. Ralph James' marketing is really impressive and did a great job in showcasing our house; and it is on a different level to the offerings of its competitors. We would thoroughly recommend Ralph James. 

         - George, January 2024

      • Seller Testimonial

        Marie-Elise was amazing from start to finish
        Putting our flat on the market when mortgage rates were rocketing was always a risk but Ralph James promised they could sell it and they did! It wasn't quick but we trusted the process! Marie-Elise was amazing from start to finish! Keeping us in the loop weekly, the team making sure potential buyers coming through the door were aware of what they were viewing and what price bracket we were in as it's always tricky to keep a flat tidy with a toddler and keeping the communication slick between solicitors! Thank you to Marie-Elise and the team at Ralph James, couldn't recommend them enough!
