If you are looking for the best, look no further and the reason is fairly simple - I care!
Richard is a most likeable person who is hard working, efficient and highly effective. We have enjoyed entrusting him with negotiating the sale of our home.
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you hugely for your genuinely helpful and supportive way assisting me with my purchase. I have appreciated your calm friendly manner and non-aggressive approach to gently guiding me through property purchase. So very happy for such a good outcome, helping me to find my sanctuary (and keep my sanity in the process!) I'm sure I will see you again, but wanted to express my appreciation.
I would like to say Richard has been an extremely efficient and approachable agent making the process comfortable and a positive process. We will gladly recommend Richard to any buyers in the future.
Throughout the entire process Richard has been excellent with his communication. He responds to messages immediately, he explained things to us well (in an easy to understand manner) and in our opinion, has been brilliant. We would absolutely recommend him to any of our friends who are thinking of selling their property, and we would use him again without hesitation, if and when it’s time for us to move on
Richard's knowledge about the area and properties in the area was excellent.He was easy to understand and he always kept in touch every step of the way.He made the whole process simple and straight forward.He is friendly and welcoming and very professional in how he dealt with us.Would definitely deal with him again and would recommend him to our friends.
We felt looked after throughout the process. Right from when we met Richard we felt like he was on our side. He was patient as we looked at various properties, and when it came to making an offer we felt like we had a genuine advocate in Richard. We would have no hesitation in recommending him highly.
We have today completed our house purchase. We purchased this property through Richard as the vendors agent. It has been quite a long process and we are both glad to have settled. Richard has always been very fair and open in his dealings with myself and Emily. He helped us through the buying process and also dealt with the extra implications of Covid very professionally. Richard we feel is an agent you can trust and certainly rely on. He also has a great knowledge of the local area. Myself and Emily would like to thank him for his part in our property purchase in Waihi.
Very professional excuse the pun. Richard was chosen to be our selling agent because of his vast experience and knowledge of the real estate market / industry and most importantly his empathy towards our property . This is where other agents failed . They seemed, via their body language , to view it as just another property to market, get it listed and get whatever they could for it. Richard , was different, he showed a genuine interest and liking for the property as well as advising what he thought that it should sell for. Considerably more than the others approached I might add. He was on the money too when it came to the sell price, call it experience ! Would we use him again ? Of course and you should at least ask him to call in and discuss your property before choosing the cheapest commission over experience and knowledge. We did and we are very pleased with the result.
Straight up and very knowledgeable about realestate. I find Richard to be straight up and very knowledgeable when it came to real estate. He talks to me through every stage of the sales and agreement process in detail and is on call when I need questions answered. Thank you Richard for making the process easy and being proactive, You are a true Professional.
Good results. Richard was very helpful in applying the right marketing strategy and price for our property. He has always been professional and informative in regard to buyer feedback and due diligence for selling and buying. We would recommend Richard to future clients without hesitation.
Enthusiastic and knowledgeable. We found Richard positive, communicative and enthusiastic. In accepting his advice we gained results.
Richard gave us a five star experience selling our property. Richard helped us every step of the way when we decided to sell our property.He advised us on the best way to market the property so we could achieve what we wanted from selling.Richard was always available to answer any queries and always kept us advised on what potential buyers thought of our property.We can not thank Richard enough for how easy and quick he made this sometimes stressful process.
