I have worked closely with Richard over the course of the last year on wildly different projects and he has made a huge difference to the progress made on all fronts; Richard brings exceptional value to any endeavour. He is a connector, a facilitator, a salesman and an enthusiastic creator. He instinctively understands that a huge part of building a business is about building and maintaining mutually-advantageous relationships.
Above all, I trust Richard. I trust his judgement, his ethical framework and his work ethic, and I look forward to continuing my working relationship with him long into the future
Richard has great expertise in the real estate market as well as local knowledge. He is self-motivated. He takes great care on work and pays attention to detail. His opinions are honest and considered. He successfully cleared road blocks and helped to make our purchase successful. Apart from work, he is very friendly and easy to talk to and not one of the stereotypical pushy agents. It would be great to work with him again in the future

What they say
I have known Richard for a number of years on both a professional and personal level. He has always shown a high level of motivation and enthusiasm in all projects we have worked on together. I have lot to be thankful for in respect of the advice and guidance Richard has offered me in managing residential property.
With outstanding communication skills and a great ability to meet even the most difficult of project requirements, I have no doubt that Richard will excel in any profession he chooses to pursue.
