Review Richard

Richard's attention to detail and communication skills with a non-NZ purchaser are described below.

Richard methodically and actively negotiated with a discerning Asian purchaser on behalf of this willing NZ seller involving a sale and purchase agreement for two parcels of mutually adjoining undeveloped residential land of combined area 2640m2. He is patient, well informed, and a pleasure to deal with to achieve a sale in the currently depressed real estate climate in the North Shore area of Auckland City. A complicating feature of this sale has been (and remains currently) the intrusive behaviour of a senior Auckland Council officer who has, quite wrongly, interferred with the intended, and relatively straightforward, sale process. I look forward to Richard's very competant support, if and when required, to assist me in overcoming that Council officer's untimely interference. In the meantime I have to report that the actual sale is currently being frustrated from its due completion (later this year) by that renegade Council officer. In answer to the following question regarding the use, or non-use, of the 'RateMyAgent' document/information I'm not aware of such information apart from the 'stars' at the commencement, but cannot proceed with this assessment without (it appears) selecting 'Yes' at this conclsion of the assessment.

CLEAR CONCISE AND EFFECTIVE

Great understanding of the area and the market. Described the property very well and the surrounding benefits. We discussed price and he was in clear agreement with our opinion and was clear with recommendations as the negotiations started. Great feedback after all open days

A real hardworking professional !

Well! Where do we start to write about our Richard experience. The first word that comes to mind is, AMAZING! We had a very difficult piece of land on the market. A LOT of council and engineering problems to navigate. We were constantly on the phone to Richard. Every time he picked up it was like we were the only ones in his busy life! Always extremely helpful, full of knowledge and very very pleasant. Thank you Richard, we so appreciate all you did for us. Colleen and Ian

Guidance, experience and a ton of patience.

Richard has been a godsend for us. We had a number of issues that had to be negotiated along the way and Richard helped us immensely; as a guiding hand of experience, with having contacts in the right places and the patience of a saint. Not to mention helping us get the price we wanted in a difficult market. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thank you.

Professional!

Richard is a long time real estate agent which shines through in his professional approach. He and his team had our best interest at the forefront of the campaign throughout the process. Thank you for making the process a pleasant one, as selling a home is a very emotional experience.
