Comprehensive and professional

Rich helped me sell my property on Rose Street. He did a comprehensive analysis of the property for me which gave me a true insight into the properties worth. He enlisted not just the 'Normal' criteria like the other agent I approached but obtained advice from actual investors. I would have Rich sell any property of mine and have highly recommended him to friends and family. An easy going but totally professional real estate agent!!

Highly recommended

Richard was great to work with very knowledgeable, communication was excellent and nothing was ever a problem that couldn't be fixed. He went the extra mile to secure a buyer and spent a lot of extra time communicating with them as they were overseas. I wish Richard all the best for his future sales and would highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling.
