    • The Swindon property market is busy, buzzing and very competitive, so standing out from the crowd is important - and we've being that for 20 years.

Our extended network of property and people gives you more choice in what you're looking for and provides a better spread of buyers for your home.

    The market moves fast... we move faster
    • Your home has to be seen in the right places by the right people at the right time - and at the right price. Valuations are always bang on the money because a key part of our sales service is ensuring you get what you want for your property. You're a one-off and so is your home. Detailed local market knowledge and recent sale prices are guides, but we understand exactly what it is about your home that makes it special, highlighting its unique features to appeal to the right buyers.

      We've also got more tech than you can shake a stick at. All our valuers and negotiators have the latest mobile devices and iPads all linked to our operating system, to our website and global property portals, so when we're out and about we have instant access to the market and to everyone buying and selling at the tap of a finger. We can arrange viewings instantly and we'll always aim to do that around you.

      Contact your local branch for more information today.

    Barrie Brocks - Branch Manager
    Barrie's quite new to Richard James although he has been helping people with their property shopping in Swindon for over 30 years. A relic of the 80's, he learned his trade when measuring sticks and black&white photographs were cutting edge. "Way before the Interweb even existed", he reminds us....(and we smile politely)Grandad, as he's known to his younger colleagues, is arguably the most experienced agent in the company and hasn't looked back since we swapped his typewriter for a laptop. A man with a fountain of knowledge and a new lease of life, Barrie hasn't stopped smiling since he joined us. He's like a dog with a bone... dependable, eager to please and very, very well trained.

    Emma Middleton - Assistant Manager
    What Emma lacks in height she make up for in personality! She is the life and soul of the office/party and is always happy & smiling. After almost 20 years' experience, Emma still absolutely loves her job and is passionate about matching people with the right properties. We guess she's in the right place then! Emma loves being part of the West Swindon community and regularly helps with events at Brook Field Primary School where her daughter attends. She has also started doing Ultra Challenges (walking though, running isn't her thing!) which helps to maintain that healthy balance along with the odd glass (bottle) of Prosecco!

    Luke Humphries - Sales Negotiator
    Luke was born and bred in Purton, which means he is perfectly placed in our Sales Team in West Swindon Team. Having grown up here for all his life, Luke knows a thing or two about the local area, especially where to grab some good food or head out for a weekend stroll with his friends and family - you can definitely rely on him for a recommendation or two! When he is not at work, Luke is a bit of an adrenaline junkie... At the weekends, you might find him heading down the slopes on his snowboard or off-roading in a 4X4 with his friends. Luke also has a passion for photographing fast and peculiar cars - we wouldn't be surprised if he showed up to work in a Ferrari one day.

    Jemma Fields - Sales Progressor
    Jemma is our jet setter Sales Progressor - literally. She's a bit of a plane fanatic and has already taken to the skies herself in the captain's chair and is eager to go up again. She fell in love with the world of property when she started as Sale Negotiator for a local agent in Gloucestershire, where she discovered the diversity of the role of Sales Progression, and the enjoyment and satisfaction in getting sellers and buyers across the finish line. Though she was born and raised in Cheltenham, Jemma has family roots back in Ireland and even knows a few Irish dancing moves, which she'll still pull out at weddings! When she's not in the office, you can find her out exploring with family and friends, getting crafty with projects, or in the kitchen baking something delicious.

      I am delighted to be able to write this review following the sale of our property through Richard James. The service we have received from start to finish has been superb. We have been kept informed each step of the way and nothing has been too much trouble for them. They sold our property in less than a week of it being put on the market and I'm sure this was down to the very professional work carried out by Alex and his team at Ramleaze office, thank you all so very much. We cannot thank all of them enough. If you are looking to sell or purchase then we highly recommend this estate agents to you, fantastic experience and service. Thank you all.

      Richard James - the go to estate agent in Swindon
      Mr M - West Swindon

      Sue and I would like to thank all of the staff at Richard James. Between them they kept our chain together. We initially sold within 4 days of going on the market back in March 2018. This however fell through twice. (No ones fault) They worked hard to find us a new buyer at the beginning of June and our chain of 8 properties finally completed on 18th October. I put the success of this move down to one significant fact. We used a local, traditional Estate Agent. I cannot emphasise enough the advantages of being able to deal with your agent face to face if you need to. On numerous occasions throughout this process our patience was tested by others in our chain. The progressions team worked flat out to keep me up to date with any issues. They held our chain together with all the skill, diplomacy and experience that comes from a best in class estate agent. We would not hesitate in recommending Barrie, his team at Shaw. Make no mistake, Richard James are the go to estate agent in Swindon. I will be completing individual testimonials in due course.
