Richard Rogerson

Spear’s Review

With the contacts and credibility to get access to the best properties – often upwards of £10 million – and a proven track record of complex transactions, RFR CEO Richard Rogerson is quietly confident. 

He runs the property private office with his wife, Sophie. The pair – both former Macfarlanes lawyers – were jointly named Property Adviser of the Year at the 2018 Spear’s Awards, thanks largely to their ability to marry personable service with absolute professionalism and impressive polish. 

Rogerson stresses that discretion is a top priority: ‘We see ourselves alongside top-tier private client advisers, so confidentiality and client privacy is so important to us. We never have a picture of client properties on our website or Instagram. We never talk about our clients – ever – because that’s the world we’re in, which is the private client advisory world.’
