reviews

Richard and his team were amazing to work with. Very efficient and hardworking and kept us constantly updated. Richard really does have his finger in the pulse of the Mermaid area and we would highly recommend him.
C, Jones Driver Court, Mermaid Waters
Richard is very well versed in the Gold coast property market and in my opinion the "go to" for maximising a property sale in the Mermaid / Miami catchment. He is obviously hitting his peak selling state and so choosing him over the competition was a no brainer. We sold for much more than we expected due to advice from day one on what the market expected from our property and how to leverage our properties strengths. Very happy with the result!

He knows the area and the market very well so this made the whole campaign quite clear and stress free for us.

Richard and his team were the perfect match for selling our much-loved home. Richard’s professionalism, honesty, knowledge of the market and down to earth personality was what we were looking for in an agent. His constant communication and feedback kept us confident to trust the process and helped us secure a fantastic result at auction. No better team than Richard and Amelia.

He was always collegiate, professional, and polite. Thank you, Richard, for a job well done. It was a pleasure having you on our team!
T, Olsen Driver Court, Mermaid Waters
Richard has kept in touch regularly over 12 years, always there to answer a question or give advice. We have never met an agent who is so consistent and reliable. He and his assistant Amelia kept us informed every step of the way while selling. We got updates after every open house & a written summary weekly. Richard gives 110% effort to every house he sells. He leaves no lead unfollowed, and will work extremely hard to get the seller the very best price possible. You will not find a better agent!

Richard and his team are very good at their job. Communication was excellent. He was never pushy and always answered our questions thoroughly. I would recommend anyone looking in “the pocket” of Mermaid Waters to consult Richard.

Richard’s knowledge of the local market is exceptional. He also moved really quickly to keep the purchase / sale momentum for both parties which I think drives confidence on all sides and reduces the stress in the transaction.
