Sophie Rogerson

Spear’s Review

Leading RFR’s buying team, managing director Sophie Rogerson is singled out by her peers in property for particular praise. She is ‘super-bright and combines this with market knowledge as well as emotional intelligence’, said one observer, while a senior lawyer noted that ‘clients love her’.

Rogerson is a Macfarlanes alum, just like her husband and business partner, Richard, and believes this experience has helped to differentiate their firm.

‘Most buying agents are ex-sales agents, whereas we have always come at this from a protection, advisory [and] professional services capacity,’ she told Spear’s. ‘That’s why we’ve been able to quite quickly sit at the top end of the table, because that’s what the market wanted.’

Rogerson has observed a positive start to 2024, with ‘more momentum in the market’. Alongside a rising number of US clients, ‘there’s just more stock, the agents are more optimistic, and clients are out’.

Adviser Profile

Sophie is recognised as one of the leading buying advisors in London. She has spent a decade finding and acquiring the finest homes in London for her clients. Her knowledge of London’s prime markets is truly exceptional, and her legal career at Macfarlanes adds unparalleled transactional expertise. 

With what peers describe as an ‘enviable track record’, she and the RFR team are afforded access to the very best properties offered discreetly off-market or privately for sale. Clients commend her as ‘superbly knowledgeable’ and a ‘calm and effective negotiator’. 

Named the ‘UK’s leading buying agent’ by Chambers and a Spear’s Property Adviser of the Year, she is credited with pioneering the role of the buyer’s advisor.
