Ocean Estate Agents joins the Better Business Network
Ocean Estate Agents have been selling Bristol homes of all shapes and sizes – large and small, grand and modest, smart and not so smart… for all kinds of people since 1983.
Founder Paul Harris started the business 40 years ago with Ocean Bishopston on Gloucester Road, and there are now 11 local offices across the city including one in Portishead.
Their ethos is very much ‘people before property’, with the emphasis on looking after the individuals and families buying or selling their homes, to make what is often a challenging experience, as worry-free as possible.
Ocean’s teams, reflect the culturally rich communities of this wonderful city, spanning a diverse mix of ages and backgrounds from across Bristol.
It is also very much a family business. Many of the team have grown up and started their own families whilst working for Ocean – they even have some second generation ‘Oceaners’ now working for the company.

In 2021 Ocean went Carbon Neutral. Immediate changes included switching to 100% renewable heating and electric, partnering with Carbon Footprint Ltd to plant trees in the UK and the Amazon, and even changing the loo roll they use.
Managing Director Paul Harris explains why the company is joining Better Business:
“It makes absolute sense for Ocean. Our whole business is built around the lives of people living and working in Bristol – it’s such an amazing place, and organisations like Better Business are a big part of this.”
