    Thomas | Founder & CEO
    For Thomas, presentation is everything. Having worked in corporate and independent estate agency since 1999, and running his first office at the tender age of 21, Thomas opened Ralph James in 2015. The intent behind the business was to bring the very best of marketing and services together, adding a unique edge of design and flair - from our shop, to our branding, and through everything we do.

    Back in 2011, when Thomas first came to work in Redhill and Reigate, he loved what he saw: Clearly Reigate was the traditional darling of the two towns - a beautiful and thriving place with a wonderful lifestyle, great shops and excellent schools, all surrounded by glorious countryside - but he was also struck by the variety and potential of Redhill, with its collection of neighbourhoods and villages, its incredible rail link to London and now, of course, the big plans for regenerating the centre.

    Thomas is a keen property developer himself, and his passion for property knows no bounds. From renovating his own home to selling yours, there is no limit to the high standards implemented.

    Katie | Head of Lettings and Property Management
    After attending Reigate College, Katie was keen to start her career as soon as possible. Working her way up from her first position as a Letting's Negotiator, to Appraiser and then Assistant Manager, Katie has now found her niche within Property Management.

    Having recently purchased her house in Horley, Katie found herself looking at the Ralph James office on her daily commute to work each day, drawn to the modern frontage and difference in design. As Katie's maternity leave ended, she jumped at the opportunity to join the team as Property Manager. Katie already feels part of the furniture and has settled very quickly, all thanks to our welcoming staff and clients.

    Katie presents the main point of contact for both Landlords and Tenants, and is responsible for Property Management and Accounts. In her spare time, you will find Katie enjoying fun days out with her two young sons, out with friends and family or relaxing at home.

    Sam | Head of Sales & Lettings Team Manager
    Originally from a small village in County Durham, Sam knew that he always belonged in the countryside rather than the hectic city life of London. He decided to take the plunge and offered on a property in Earlswood through Ralph James.

    Having the greatest introduction, Sam loved the way they operated - so much so that once he moved into his new place, he contacted Thomas and Ashley straight away for a chance to work at Ralph James. Having been in both sales and lettings for an independent London company since 2014, Sam knew that he could bring his knowledge and confidence to Ralph James.

    An integral part of the team for a few years now, Sam's knowledge of the Letting's market and the local area is obvious when in conversation with him.

    Samantha | Senior Lettings Advisor
    Sam joins Ralph James following a break in her career to be at home with her children - the reason she's so familiar with many of the local schools! 

    Having lived in Redhill for her whole childhood and into adulthood, Sam studied travel and tourism before working in the airport. Following her career break, and eager for a new challenge, Sam sought her new start in Estate Agency. 

    "And where better than Ralph James, as it's very close to my heart," she says, "I have loved to watch this brand grow over the past 7 years."

    A good listener, Sam delights in matchmaking her clients with the ideal home that suits their every need.

    Outside of work, you'll find Sam making the most of the fresh air on her weekend walks in the Surrey Hills, or spending quality time with her family.

    Didi |Trainee Property Manager & Administrator
    Didi has always called Dorking home, loving the cozy charm of the town. Her entire school journey, from nursery to secondary, unfolded right here in Dorking. Later on, she didn't venture too far, finding herself at Reigate College.

    Work took her to Denbies Wine Estate, where interacting with diverse people and hearing their stories brought her immense joy. Always having an eye for property, Didi often found herself discussing and admiring houses. The idea of having her own place and designing it from online inspiration got her pretty excited. When Olivia offered her the chance to join Ralph James, Didi jumped at it without a second thought.

    Reflecting on her experience, Didi finds Ralph James to be an incredibly friendly and welcoming place. What stands out for her is the team's strong client focus and modern approach.

    Outside of work, you'll find Didi dancing, singing, and enjoying quality time with her family.

      Testimonials from Sellers

      • Seller Testimonial

        Their marketing is second to none
        Absolutely phenomenal team at RJ in Banstead. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. We have used RJ twice now for house sales and in both experiences, they provided a fantastic service. Their marketing, in particular, their social media is second to none, they have a young, dynamic and forward-thinking team of really personable, lovely people. Kelly and Tom at the Banstead office in particular are top of their game. There was a big chain in our house sale and Kelly was always in communications with us, our buyers and our onward Agent, to constantly keep things transparent and open. They always gave great advice too, and I would not think twice about using them. If we need to use an Estate Agent again (although I'm hoping not for a long time!) then we will be straight back to RJ.

      • Seller Testimonial

        They try to support you through the whole process
        We used Ralph James to sell our home and it was a tough process as it was right at the start of the mortgage crisis so it was hard to find a buyer and then twice the buyer's buyers dropped out. Kelly was extremely helpful, always trying to keep all parties coordinated and helping with difficult issues between the solicitors. She was always cheerful but at the same time realistic and I would definitely recommend Ralph James Banstead as estate agents who really try to support you through the whole process!
