About Us
Cornwall is not just somewhere people buy property. It is somewhere people want to live differently. Whether it is a coastal home, a country house, a village property or a well-positioned family home, the right buyer is often responding to far more than bricks and mortar. Setting, lifestyle, atmosphere and presentation all matter, which is why the way a home is brought to market can make such a difference.
OUR APPROACH
At Rohrs & Rowe, we believe selling property should never feel generic. Every home has its own strengths, its own audience and its own story, and our job is to recognise what matters most and present it properly. That starts with understanding the house itself, but it also means understanding the location, the likely buyer and the kind of marketing that will create the right response.
(ADD IN ABOUT HOW WE INVEST IN CLIENTS PROPERTIES)
We place a strong emphasis on presentation because first impressions count. Photography, film, brochure design, floorplans, digital exposure and written descriptions should all work together to create a clear and compelling picture from the outset. In a competitive market, that consistency and attention to detail can have a real effect on how a property is perceived and how strongly it performs.
Alongside this, we bring strong local knowledge, sound advice and a clear sense of how Cornwall’s different markets work. Coastal, country and village homes each speak to buyers in different ways, and knowing how to position a property well is a key part of achieving the best result. Pricing, launch strategy, visual presentation and buyer reach all need to align. Our approach is personal, but also highly considered. We take the time to understand our clients, their property and what they are trying to achieve. From there, we shape a marketing strategy that feels tailored, well judged and consistent with the standard of the home itself.

Presentation
At Rohrs & Rowe, presenting property in its absolute best light is not an added extra, it is a fundamental principle on which the business was built. We believe our clients homes deserve a carefully considered approach that reflects both their individuality and full potential. When dealing with distinctive coastal, country and town properties, presentation plays a critical role in shaping perception. It is not simply about showing a space, but allowing a buyer to imagine themselves within it. The right imagery, tone and detail can create an emotional connection long before a viewing takes place.
Our approach is highly deliberate. Professional photography, videography, thoughtfully considered drone photography and well-crafted written descriptions are brought together to tell a clear and compelling story. Each element is aligned to highlight the property’s strongest features, its setting and its lifestyle appeal, ensuring consistency throughout. Attention to detail is central, and we are closely involved at every stage. Nothing is left to chance. Each aspect of presentation is shaped through careful thought, discussion and refinement to ensure it meets the standard we set. From preparing a home for launch to selecting angles, lighting and messaging, we take an active role throughout. By combining careful presentation with an understanding of the likely buyer, we create marketing that feels both aspirational and authentic, leading to stronger engagement and better results.
Marketing & PR
We invest in every property we represent, positioning it to achieve the highest level of exposure, attention and prestige, from respected national newspapers to luxury magazines and leading digital publications. At Rohrs & Rowe, we believe extraordinary homes deserve to be presented on a truly national stage, beyond the limitations of property portals.
Through carefully judged media relationships, supported by our national PR agency, and thoughtful storytelling, we secure high-quality editorial coverage that showcases each home’s unique appeal. Our approach ensures properties are not simply marketed, but memorably presented to the right audiences, in the right publications, creating lasting impact.
Every home has a story worth telling. Our role is to ensure it is told beautifully, strategically, and with national distinction.
National Reach
In 2025, we co-founded The Finest Property Collective, a partnership between leading independent agencies across the UK, and we are proud to be the exclusive partner for Cornwall within the network. This gives us direct access to serious buyers across London and the South East, the Devon and Dorset coasts, the Cotswolds, Norfolk, as well as the North and Scotland.
This partnership further strengthens our already well-established national presence. Over more than 10 years in the industry, we have built strong relationships and trusted contacts across the country, allowing us to connect our clients’ properties with the right audience beyond the immediate local market.
Cornwall holds a unique and enduring appeal across the UK, with buyers consistently drawn to its lifestyle, coastline and sense of escape. Through our national reach, we are able to tap directly into this demand, positioning our properties in front of an audience already motivated by what Cornwall represents, and using that aspirational pull to generate stronger interest and better results.
Service
What sets Rohrs & Rowe apart is the way we stay personally involved throughout the entire sales process. Ours is a hands-on, partner-led approach, which means clients deal with the same person from the outset through to completion. That continuity creates consistency, avoids miscommunication and allows us to give more tailored, joined-up advice at every stage. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all service. Every property and every client’s situation is different, so our role is to shape the right strategy around them, whether that means pricing, presentation, buyer targeting, timing or negotiation.
That personal involvement also means we are proactive and solutions-focused throughout. Property sales often bring challenges, but because we stay close to the detail, we are better placed to anticipate issues early, resolve problems quickly and keep momentum in the process. Just as importantly, we keep clients fully informed, so they are never left wondering what is happening or feeling that they are chasing for updates. For our clients, the benefit is a sale that feels more carefully managed, more thoughtful and less stressful, with experienced people taking ownership from start to finish and working consistently towards the best possible result.
Testimonials
Crofters | Port Navas
Rohrs and Rowe are completely different from the 'standard estate agency,’ they combine exceptional marketing with clear expertise, crucially being willing to offer unbiased advice about your property and the housing market, however palatable. They understand that selling a property is about more than just the bricks and mortar—it’s about presenting a home, a lifestyle, and a sense of community. Matthew Rowe, who sold our house, was outstanding. He personally handled all viewings, was creative in finding marketing opportunities in a challenging market, and remained good humoured and professional throughout. His honesty and diligence, especially in following up with potential buyers, were second to none. I recommend Rohrs and Rowe without reservation.
Mennavean | Manaccan
Jason, I want to say a heartfelt thanks to you and all your team for getting the sale of my house over the line. In the current market, your personalised approach was invaluable. Your advice on presentation of the house and superb photography combined to ensure that the brochure showed the house in the best possible light, emphasising its special features including the idyllic location. Your subsequent marketing in publications targeting a cohort that wouldn’t necessarily be trawling through property websites ensured widespread promotion to the appropriate audience. Then, you taking the time to understand what prospective purchasers were looking for, coupled with your local knowledge and familiarity with my house maximised the chances of finding a “fit”. I particularly applaud you for your help and support during negotiations, as the sale progressed. You were unfailingly positive, responsive to queries I raised, and happy to smooth the passage to completion. I very much doubt whether any other agents could have achieved this sale in such a difficult market. It completely validates your firm’s individual approach to selling houses.
Pednagothollan | Lizard Peninsula
I came to the tough decision to sell my beautiful property on the Lizard and placed the house with a well known agent. This proved to not be working well, so I approached Rohrs and Rowe and what a difference! They found a buyer and were there for me all the way through the process, ensuring that the sale went through. I would certainly recommend them to anyone who values service!
Point House | Devoran
Selling our house with Rohrs and Rowe was a stress-free and smooth experience. Matthew Rowe was incredibly professional, efficient and had an in-depth knowledge of the local property market. He kept us informed every step of the way and achieved a quick sale and at a higher price than marketed. Thank you to the talented Rohrs and Rowe team, we were delighted and cannot fault their service.
Rockside | Flushing
We loved Rockside from the moment that Matthew first showed us around the property. The journey from there to completion was full of hurdles, as we needed to sell before buying, but throughout this process Matthew remained positive, prompt and helpful every step of the way, acting as the perfect broker between buyer and seller.
Tall Trees | Wadebridge
I have known Martyn for a number of years and knew when the time came to sell my house he was the person for the job! I was not disappointed and would not hesitate to recommend Martyn and Rohrs and Rowe. Throughout the whole process Martyn has been super supportive and understanding , always available to talk things through which is so important - especially when things get tricky! He is a true professional and a skilled negotiator, handling an unusual set of circumstances with great patience and efficiency. Thank you Martyn and all at Rohrs and Rowe.
Trenance Barton | North Cornwall
When we decided to sell our home, we had no hesitation in calling Martyn, having previously engaged him on two occasions. Each time, he provided a first-class service, and this experience was no different. Martyn was positive and enthusiastic about our sale while also being accurate in his valuation and correct about the likely outcome. He guided us through the stressful selling process with his usual calm yet professional manner, offering reassurance at every stage. Ultimately, the sale reached a successful conclusion, despite some legal complexities—which Martyn expertly helped us navigate—to buyers we were very happy to sell to. We cannot recommend Martyn and his team highly enough and would not hesitate to engage him again if we ever decide to move!
Pentui | Feock
We have known Matthew for 18 years—initially when he sold us Pentui, and more recently when he acted for us in selling it again. Throughout, he has always been professional, charming, honest and open. He maintains a highly personal approach, personally showing all potential buyers around our home and responding to enquiries promptly. I can say without reservation that Rohrs & Rowe attain a standard of excellence that truly showcases the properties on their books: superb photography, beautifully produced brochures, and first-class advertising on their website and in leading national and county-wide publications. I would not hesitate to recommend Matthew to any prospective seller or buyer.
