About us

Regardless of good or bad market conditions Rager & Roberts have been at the forefront of the local market in Eastbourne and the nearby villages for almost three decades and, according to Rightmove's own independent survey, we consistently agree more sales above £300,000 than any other local agent.  The prominent town centre offices in Cornfield Road, together with the Old Town office in Green Street, provide efficient marketing as well as an extremely high standard of service to vendors and purchasers alike.  Our high profile marketing presence in Alfriston enhances coverage of the Downland Villages and our computer networked offices enable the staff to operate efficiently and as a team.

Recommendations from our clients and the local professional community guarantees a wide ranging and ever changing selection of properties which attract buyers from all over the country and abroad.  Over the years we have avoided the distraction of commercial property sales, lettings and the sale of mortgages.  The latter might be remunerative but we have not, and will not,  accept an introduction fee from a mortgage provider and this guarantees that the advice we give to our clients is totally in their best interest and not prejudiced by the prospect of an additional fee.
