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.

Richard Pearce for a Home Sellers Agent. Dependable, reliable and successful.

Richard gave us a good deal while marketing our property. He worked very hard along with his team to get as much exposure as he could and encourage as many property buyers as possible. He followed up after each open home, and consistently provided us with market updates and new ideas. I brought the buyer to Richard and he closed the deal for us. Richard always answered my questions honestly and also rang us when he needed to. Agent - client relationship is very important and we found Richard to be friendly and approachable at all times. He was recommended to us by another family member and when we met Richard and his team both my husband and I were very happy and agreed Richard was the right agent for us at our older ages. It was a difficult market and Richard did not try to coerce us into accepting any changes we did not like or want to make. We found him to be a good listener and always wanted to share our point of view. We met with him several times when new ideas came up for discussion. We had to compromise but got the job done and Richard communicated in a professional manner throughout the time it took.

Great experience selling with Richard and Cleo

We recently worked with Richard Pearce and Cleo Zhang to sell our property via auction. They were professional, well-organised, and kept us informed throughout the whole campaign. Richard’s calm approach and Cleo’s responsiveness made a potentially stressful process feel manageable. Auction day went well, and they helped us achieve an acceptable result. We appreciated their guidance, market knowledge and teamwork, and would confidently recommend them to others thinking of selling.

Excellent Sales Performance by Richard and Cleo.

A total professional performance by the Barfoot & Thompson team. First rate marketing, and ongoing communication with us, with regular updates on how the sale was progressing. We are very satisfied on all counts.

We found Richard amazing to work with.

We felt that Richard was totally there for us. We are very grateful to him for all the time and effort he put into marketing and selling our home. He was a great communicator, up with the market, efficient, genuinely caring and supportive. Richard was professional and reliable. We loved working with him. We would highly recommend Richard to anyone who is wanting to buy or sell their home.
