Richard has over 20 years of experience in the real estate industry. He started as a consultant with Harcourts Otago in 2004 and has been an Auctioneer since 2005. He was a high achieving consultant and strong auction lister, recognised as the Number 1 consultant for Harcourts Queenstown from 2009 - 2015. He went on to become one of the business owners, manager of the Dunedin and Balclutha offices, and also held the role of Auction Manager for the group.

He has called thousands of Auctions, and has a reputation for strong negotiation skills. He was a Harcourts competition finalist in 2021, and stepped back into competition calling in 2025. He was thrilled to make the finals of the LVD, Apollo and REINZ Auction 2025 competitions, and to win the Apollo Open Division title. Richard has also served as a judge for several REINZ and LVD Auction competitions, and has trained other consultants into becoming auctioneers. When he's not calling auctions you may find him on the golf course, or performing music with his band. He has made the move to Christchurch and is looking forward to delivering exceptional auctioneering services to the South Island region.
