Martin-Brown & Company was formed in 1949 and by the early 1950’s had offices in Epsom, Leatherhead, Surbiton, Cheam and Fulham. In 1952 the Dorking office was opened and developed in importance to an extent that the other offices were gradually sold off. In the 70’s a satellite office at Shere was opened and a substantial part of the business at that time was in residential agency particularly dealing with houses in the picturesque villages surrounding the two offices.

In 1979 a larger partnership was formed and the name modified to Martin-Brown. Since then the main divisions – Residential Agency, Commercial Agency, Management and Professional – have developed and expanded until now Martin-Brown offer a comprehensive and unrivalled range of professional services and marketing skills in respect of property within Dorking and its surrounds.
