Hello – I’m Richard, and I believe real estate isn’t just about property, it’s about people. My mission is to provide a people-first experience built on connection, guiding clients through one of life’s biggest decisions with clarity, confidence and care.

Originally from England, I made Nelson my home in 2018. Like so many others, I was drawn to the lifestyle - the country’s highest sunshine hours, natural landscapes at every turn, and a community that truly connects. I love making the most of the outdoors - from walks in the Nelson hills to weekends away in Golden Bay or exploring tracks across the Top of the South. 

At home I’m a father, an amateur photographer, and a bit of a houseplant collector. I’m always pottering away in the garage, fixing, creating or working on a project - the same hands-on, solutions-focused mindset I bring to real estate. Nelson is where my story continues to grow, and I’m passionate about helping others continue theirs here too. 

With a background in residential building, I bring a unique perspective to real estate. I understand how homes are designed to function, how buyers connect with them and where they see value – I use this insight to showcase properties effectively and guide clients with confidence. 

With a people-first focus and a friendly smile, I’m always up for a good chat. I make the process clear, calm, and enjoyable - breaking down complex steps into something simple and reassuring. My clients know I’m approachable, motivated, and genuine, but also driven to achieve the best possible results. 

Backed by the strength of Summit Real Estate’s trusted local team and fuelled by my own solutions-focused approach, whether you’re looking to sell or settle here in sunny Nelson, I’m here to deliver. Let’s connect and talk about your next move.
