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,’ says one observer, while a senior lawyer notes 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 leads RFR’s Search & Acquisitions team, having spent a decade finding and securing the finest homes in London for her private clients. Her knowledge of the prime central markets is exceptional and, with her legal background at one of the City’s leading law firms, she brings a unique perspective to the buying industry.
With an enviable track record, she and the 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’.
Described as the ‘UK’s leading buying agent’ and named Spear’s Property Adviser of the Year in 2018, she is ranked in Chambers HNW Guide 2022, Spear’s Top Ten London Buying Agents 2023 and Citywealth Leaders List.
