A relic of the 80’s, he learned his trade when measuring sticks and black & white photographs were cutting edge. “Way before the Interweb even existed”, he reminds us….(and we smile politely).

His persistence and passion for estate agency are what has got him here today and if you ask the man himself, he will tell you he dreamed of being an estate agent since he was in nappies. As weird as that is for us to picture, we are thankful for his persistence and passion as Richard James...
