We recently bought a house through Ralph James. Olivia & Tom did a great job. They were open, communicative and transparent all whilst giving an extremely friendly & personable experience. As first time buyers we've heard some horror stories about estate agents, but these guys were quite the opposite to what we've heard! They left a very good impression and I'd highly recommend them. Thanks both!... Read more

We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Ralph James when selling our house. Communication was flawless—they were always available to assist with any queries and provided timely updates, which helped put our minds at ease. About the marketing—the brochure was so gorgeous that we almost considered not selling! The video and Instagram post were beautifully done, and we’re convinced it helped get people interested. Their service was professional yet very friendly, and they made the whole process feel smooth and stress-free. If you're looking for an agency that’s got all the right moves (and a good sense of humor), we can’t recommend Olivia, Sam, and the team enough!... Read more

Great Experience with Ralph James Estate Agents in Dorking They really know how to use social media and other online platforms to give properties the best possible exposure, which was impressive. The whole team is very positive and optimistic which was refreshing (and the main reason why we chose them). They clearly work hard to get the job done and answered every question I had within 24 hours. I also found their fees to be fair and straightforward. highly recommended. Special thanks to Tom, Olivia and Nick who I worked with closely to secure a sale for our property.... Read more

A huge thank you to Ralph James for making our first home-buying experience so seamless, with special recognition to Olivia. From the moment we started the process, Olivia was consistently attentive, handling all our queries with professionalism and care. She ensured that we were always in the loop, providing regular updates and maintaining clear communication between us, the vendor, and our solicitors. Her dedication and efficiency made the entire process stress-free, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Moving forward, we will definitely choose to work with Olivia again, knowing we’re in excellent hands!... Read more

We recently sold our house through Ralph James Dorking and have been very happy with the entire experience. Olivia, Sam and the marketing team were brilliant and Olivia has been a fantastic agent. She has gone above and beyond to ensure our house sale and also our purchase has gone through as quickly as possible. Olivia found us a buyer within a week of the property being on the market and has kept us up to date throughout the process. My family are also using Ralph James and we will definitely use them again in the future. Thank you for all your help!... Read more

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.... Read more

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!... Read more

From first showing me the flat and my offer being accepted, Marie-Elise has kept me updated. Nothing was ever a problem, getting questions asked from the Sellers etc. Going back to measure up, I never felt rushed. Towards the end of the purchase, with a deadline looming Marie-Elise kept me informed daily and chased the management company continually and without her doing that and also keeping the chain updated I'm sure I wouldn't be in my flat today. So thankyou so much for keeping the very long chain together, we got there in the end!... Read more

We are so grateful we chose Ralph James to handle the sale of our home. Simply amazing people to do business with and it has been a pleasure to find an estate agency that delivers on its promise to put the client first. From our first meeting with Ashley, we knew our sale was in safe hands. Marie-Elise was was simply outstanding - and having bought and sold many houses through various agents - we feel qualified to say that as her work ethic, communication (even on her days off) and determination to achieve our sale went above and beyond. If Ralph James are not already the No 1 estate agency in Dorking yet, they should be. A fantastic company that excels in delivering their promises and leaves the rest standing!... Read more

As someone new to renting in the UK I found Ralph James to be by far the most welcoming, sincere and supportive. They walked me through the process, kept me updated as things moved along and were quick and kind in answering all of my emails. Ralph James definitely has a more personalised framework in comparison to some of the larger real estate agents and I truly appreciated and liked that getting through to them by phone was easy and hassle free - no long wait times or automated messages....

Marie-Elise, I literally don't know where to start... we honestly can't recommend Marie-Elise and the Dorking Ralph James team anymore if we tried! We chose Ralph James to market and sell our property because they're fresh, professional, friendly and have a modern approach to property marketing, not alone just bang on when it comes to valuing your property. They aim high but are realistic which never disappoints you as their client. I felt so at ease when we met Ashley and Marie-Elise, to the point I went in for a hug! Saying goodbye to your home is never easy but it's also exciting and they brought out our excitement in their energy with absolute no pressure. We personally had a roller coaster of a journey with a fluctuating market and a very last minute flaky buyer, but our loyalty and respect for RJ just proved us right because Marie-Elise actually worked pure magic, not only did she find us a great new cash buyer within a week of losing our previous buyer, we exchanged within a month!! Unheard of! We got to keep our chain and move into the house of our dreams because of Marie-Elise, she has not only been our estate agent and miracle worker but our counsellor, confident, and most importantly friend for life! What's so refreshing about RJ is they put you at ease immediately as they have everything in hand, they reassure you, calm you, make time to go through every detail with you, they're organised, realistic, proactive and just genuine kind people who love what they do, their community and just get stuck in. Marie-Elise always made herself available to talk to me on the phone or message me no matter the time or day and very rarely if she couldn't her team were always there. She also chased every solicitor in the chain and kept all other estate agents in the chain in constant communication, we had daily updates, which for someone like me is a dream to receive. To say Marie-Elise went above and beyond to secure our next family home is an understatement, but from reading other reviews of her work over the past few months, so many of us in Dorking have been so lucky to have had Marie-Elise on our side. We are so excited for the next chapter of our lives in our dream home and it's because of Marie-Elise, we just can't thank her enough... so if you're thinking of selling please give Ralph James a call and let them help you with your next property venture, because you won't regret it!...

I don’t review estate agents unless they are stand out and I have to say that Marie-Elise was brilliant on a purchase for my first time buyer clients. So helpful, great at negotiating, understanding and carefully appreciating both buyer and seller perspectives, navigating the sale through to exchange with the tenacity needed for a leasehold transaction. Very grateful you were the agent, if not I doubt it would have ever happened. Thank you so much Marie-Elise!... Read more

Having made an error by marketing my property on an online estate agent, it was vital to me to get the correct team in place to sell my property. Having contacted a number of the local Dorking estate agents, I settled on Ralph James, with Marie-Elise taking charge of the sale. From the onset Marie-Elise was pro-active, friendly and professional. I particularly liked that I could contact her through different platforms which meant I felt she was always available to me. I strongly recommend Ralph James and in particular Marie-Elise, she made the process as easy as possible.... Read more

Marie-Elise aka Miracle Worker, Counsellor, and most amazing Estate Agent. We had a very long journey due to selling 2 properties to buy a house, but Marie Elise was there for us throughout our journey, through the hard conversations, the emotions, the challenging market. We simply could not have done this without her, she went above and beyond for us which we hugely appreciate. I used to think an agent's job was done when they found you a buyer, but no, Ralph James are with you every step of the way, which makes them very unique and special. Marie-Elise and Ashley have been wonderful to us and even though we won't be moving anytime soon, we would use Ralph James again and recommend to anyone, in our opinion the only agent to use in Surrey....

Great to see Ralph James come to Dorking. When selling a house, communication is critical even if it is just to say there is no change as it invariably takes longer than you think. Marie Elise was great and was always on the other end of her phone and helped push the sale along. Great photos taken and video. Also helped us in our search for a new home and temporary rental.
