Richard (and his partner Holly) were amazing! They helped me sell my mother's house for 20% more than the asking price - there was even a bidding war, just like on TV!
My mother's house is not new and shiny - it was clean but hadn't been updated in many years. Although we were skeptical about the extra work and cost of the recommended staging and maintenance repairs (selling a house can be overwhelming), he helped us through every step. He always had someone to recommend along the way, helped us organize and get everything done in time. Richard was at the house putting in extra hours beyond what would even be expected - supervising the work that was done, helping with the photo shoot (there are some pictures of the house that must have been taken with a drone!), etc.
He was kept in touch with weekly updates and responded quickly to my questions. He was patient to explain his reasoning for different parts of the process - why staging was important, when he planned to put the house on the market, how to set the asking price, the goal of the open houses, and the handling of the offers on the house. Richard really understands the housing market and what needed to be done to get the best possible price. We ended up selling for 20% more than the asking price - and I even thought the asking price was more than we would get for the house.
I am so happy with both the process and the outcome. I would definitely recommend Richard to anyone who needs a realtor! read more
