Below the Surface
Roscoe Rogers and Knight have been a leading local player
in the Monmouthshire and adjoining Herefordshire and
Gloucestershire property markets for over thirty years. But
a look below the surface reveals how the firm has thrived
in a popular and busy prime-destination market.
Part of the firm’s success is down to working seamlessly
with its London West End office. Early on the firm’s
founder, Phil Smith, knew the key to success was not
just becoming the trusted property advisor to thousands
of local people but also providing an access point to the
area for buyers from places further afield like London and
the South East, Birmingham and Bristol, which is why
Roscoe Rogers and Knight became a founder member
of the global Mayfair International network. Today, the
important Mayfair group of independent estate agents
has 450-member offices in fourteen countries, three
continents and seven time zones. Three hundred of those
offices are spread across the UK, ensuring Roscoe Rogers
and Knight attract keen buyers from outside the area.
People enjoy the southern Welsh Marches for its
quiet and laid-back way of life. But those in the
know understand that below the surface it is not only
laid-back but also a thriving, active and welcoming
community. Within that community Roscoe Rogers
and Knight are strong, dependable and traditional.
But that is just the tip of the iceberg. They are also
outward-looking and innovative – working closely
with their London marketing office and engaging with
their associated offices across the UK and the globe
for the benefit of their clients including a strong and
professional social media presence as well as first class
digital videos.
Phil works closely with his sales manager Mike
Thompson who has almost a quarter of a century
experience in estate Agency and just like Phil he
believes that experience is vital as is consistency.
Mike leads his strong, enthusiastic, and professional
team of fellow estate agents who consist of Morgan
Williams, Jill Swash, Amanda Jacks and Monica
Smith, each and every one share Mike and Phils
philosophy of honest yet proactive estate agency.
Nothing is ever too much trouble for this excellent
team and please feel free to put this important claim
to the test.
Ask Phil Smith what makes an outstanding estate
agency, and he will say it is local people helping other
local people - but also helping out the many out of
area buyers who want to be local.
