Rohrs & Rowe is a name synonymous with excellence in Cornwall’s premium property market, a reputation cultivated through commitment. Words by Jamie Crocker
Rohrs & Rowe has become synonymous with excellence in Cornwall’s premium property market. With over 50 years of combined industry experience, a legacy of success, and a proven track record of thousands of sales, founders Martyn Rohrs and Matthew Rowe have redefined estate agency services in Cornwall during their nine years in business. Their commitment to innovation and outstanding results has earned them the prestigious title of Best Estate Agency in Cornwall on six occasions, most recently for the 2024/25 period – a testament to their achievements.
For Martyn and Matthew, these accolades reflect their dedication to transforming the industry through innovation and a tailored approach. Matthew explains: “After years of working together, Martyn and I set out to build a business that would challenge and elevate the industry. In 2016, most estate agencies – regardless of size – relied on uniform methods, with outdated marketing and limited use of technology. We saw an opportunity to make professional drone photography a standard feature, something rarely used at the time. Alongside this, we introduced high-quality videography to showcase properties and their surroundings, while significantly improving the standards of interior photography.
“We also recognised the growing influence of social media to reach broader, more targeted audiences. By combining compelling visuals with engaging descriptions that highlight a property’s unique qualities and the aspirational lifestyle associated with Cornish homes, we set out to create a new benchmark – all while remaining dedicated to exceptional customer service. We’ve also built a talented team of professionals who share our passion and dedication. It’s incredibly rewarding to see how our vision has developed and positively shaped the industry over the past decade.”
Looking ahead, Martyn emphasises their goal of staying at the forefront of Cornwall’s property market. “For 2025, we’ve introduced advanced technology alongside innovative marketing strategies, uniquely tailored to Cornwall’s property landscape and exclusively available through Rohrs & Rowe. These enhancements will further strengthen our ability to connect with both national and international buyers, ensuring optimal outcomes for our clients. We don’t just market houses – we sell them. Anyone considering selling their property is warmly invited to contact us for a confidential discussion about how we can assist, whether the property is new to the market or has faced challenges with a previous approach.”

Their tailored approach has led to many notable successes. Sancreed House, once home to Cornish artist John Miller, required a customised campaign to attract the perfect buyer – an international couple seeking to create an upmarket B&B. Despite the complexities of a required change of use, Rohrs & Rowe ensured a smooth sale. The client shared: “Fantastic guidance and service throughout. Calm, polite, reassuringly experienced, with solid communication and brilliant marketing that found the right buyers in a timely way.”
Compass Point in Mevagissey, a contemporary cliff-top residence, presented a different challenge in a cooling market. Rohrs & Rowe’s targeted campaign secured multiple interested parties, ultimately finding the right buyer, who was captivated by its breathtaking setting. The owners said: “From start to finish, we received sound, honest advice. Rohrs & Rowe stood out with their exceptional photography, extensive knowledge, and unwavering support. They outshine every other estate agent we’ve worked with, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.”
Treath, located at Praa Sands, saw another successful sale after failing to sell with another agent. Following a recommendation, the owners turned to Rohrs & Rowe for a refreshed strategy that quickly reignited interest. The owners remarked: “The professionalism was immediately apparent. The photography, marketing, and general attention to detail set them apart. We were fortunate they found buyers within two weeks, in a challenging market. We’re incredibly grateful for Rohrs & Rowe’s expertise.”
Ansells, a spectacular architect-designed modern residence on the Roseland Peninsula, boasts breathtaking sea views. Buyers were targeted through a national campaign supported by striking visuals. The clients commented: “From our first meeting, their professionalism and market insight were evident. The house was beautifully marketed with stunning photos and engaging full-page advertisements across various magazines and platforms. Rohrs & Rowe went the extra mile to present our home at its best advantage.”
