Fine & Country Richmond has marked its fifth anniversary having evolved from a solo operation to a thriving team of over 20 since it launched in 2018.
It’s a significant milestone for the agency that reflects its rapid growth and commitment to excellence in the prime and super-prime property markets across key areas including Barnes, Richmond, Cobham, Oxshott, and the Wentworth Estate.
The early months of the agency’s journey coincided with the onset of the global pandemic, a period fraught with uncertainty.
Sean Barrett, Managing Director of Fine & Country Richmond, says: “While the past five years have flashed by it feels like a huge achievement.”
SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES
He adds: “Starting from a cold start just months before the global pandemic, we’ve overcome significant challenges and achieved incredible milestones that make this celebration especially meaningful.
Post-pandemic the market in our areas was buoyant but of course there have been plenty of headwinds to contend with.”
Despite these challenges, Fine & Country Richmond emerged stronger, thriving in a post-pandemic market.
ACHIEVEMENTS

Memorable achievements include the sale of Ginnels House in Richmond, a property that exchanged contracts in just under three months for £7 million following an innovative marketing campaign that resulted in multiple media features and garnered over one million views across social media platforms.
Since then, Fine & Country Richmond has facilitated the sales of some of the most exclusive homes in Surrey, working with high-net-worth clients from the worlds of sports and entertainment.
PEOPLE FIRST
Barrett adds: “Our success stems from our team’s approach to client relationships.
“Whatever new technology or initiatives there may be, it always starts with people, and we have curated a special team of advisors who take a much more tailored approach to working with our clients.
“We are not just buying and selling homes, we are building long lasting relationships and of course having fun on the way with marketing leading content via our in-house marketing team – Eel Pie Media.”
The agency’s growth over five years is a testament to this philosophy. From a small operation, it has transformed into a leading name in Surrey’s property market, supported by the Fine & Country brand’s global network and reputation.
LOOKING AHEAD
With its sights set on the future, Fine & Country Richmond aims to become the first choice for clients seeking to buy or sell prime and super-prime homes in the region. “Our goal is clear,” says Barrett. “We will continue to build relationships that last, focusing on long-term results rather than short-term gains.
“To our clients, thank you for trusting us with your most valuable assets. To our team, thank you for your dedication and hard work.
“Every team member has played a crucial role in reaching this milestone, and none of this would be possible without your efforts.”
“Fine & Country Richmond looks forward to the future with optimism and determination, ready to continue its journey of excellence in the property market.
