Our Story

A modern agency for Surrey's prime market.

Independent, owner led, and answerable only to our clients.

We met working together as agents in Weybridge, comparing notes on what our clients really wanted and on what the industry too often got wrong. What stayed with us was a simple conviction: that selling a prime home should feel personal from start to finish, and that the people entrusted with it should be genuinely your own. So we built exactly that.

Independent, entirely

In Residence is ours. We own it, we run it, and we answer to no one but the clients we act for. Every decision about your home, how it is priced, how it is marketed, who it is shown to and how your sale is handled, is made by us, for your sale alone.

A house is not sold by a logo

The same national portals, with international reach beyond them, the same marketing tools, the same audience of buyers are available to every agent, large or small. What sells a home is craft: how it is presented, how it is positioned, how each enquiry is read and every negotiation handled. That is the work of people, not brands, and we do it ourselves, on every home we take on.

When you instruct In Residence, you are not entrusting your sale to a name on a board. It is us.

Prime Surrey, personally handled

We take on a select number of instructions by choice, so every valuation, viewing, marketing decision and negotiation is handled personally, from first appraisal through to completion. Our focus is the prime end of the Surrey market, on and off the open market, quietly represented and thoughtfully sold. Every home is different, and every campaign is built around it.

Why "In Residence"

The name means what it says. A property is something to be listed; a residence is a home someone actually lives in. That is how we treat every home we represent, including the fact that it is still lived in while it is being sold.

Founding Partner & Managing Director

I've spent twenty five years building client relationships in businesses where trust is everything — and I founded In Residence to bring that standard to how prime homes are sold. My guiding principle hasn't changed in all that time: people come first. A home is never simply bricks and mortar; it's the life lived in it and the future it represents, and it deserves an agent who treats it that way.

At In Residence, the person you meet at the first appraisal is the person who negotiates your price and calls you every Friday until completion. That person is me. No hand offs, no juniors, that is the entire point of this firm.

Founding Partner & Managing Director

Thirty years of building businesses and working with people at every level sit behind everything I do, the last ten of them selling luxury residential property in one of America's most expensive coastal markets, where presentation is everything and every home is marketed as the individual it is. I brought that approach with me and it shapes how In Residence presents every home we take on.

Five years ago I made Weybridge my home, and I now sell in the villages I live in — I know these streets, schools and private estates as a resident first and an agent second. Three decades in business taught me one thing above all: results come from strategy, not luck. Every home we take on gets one designed for it.
