Hi, I’m Lachie Richards. Firstly, let’s clear the air … I’m not a born and bred Kiwi, just your friendly Aussie who accidentally fell head over heels for the charm of Picton. Real estate’s been in my blood from day one. My dad was a property developer, so I grew up around building sites and open homes. I’ve always loved property but just as much, I’ve loved people. After a few great years slinging toasties, coffee, and good yarns, I felt the pull back to my roots - that’s when I turned my focus to real estate. Now I’m proud to be part of the Summit Picton team, a crew that shares my passion for community, property, and doing things right. I’m here to be a straight-up, honest real estate licensee … no fluff, just genuine service and real results. I adore this town, it’s not just where I live but it’s where I feel most myself and I’m incredibly excited to help others find their place here too. I’m looking forward to meeting more new faces, having some great chats, and helping people make moves that feel right for them. Come say hey, let’s chat property, Marlborough, or your next step!

I prioritise honesty and transparency in every transaction, always working to achieve the best possible outcomes for my clients.

This connection to the area, along with my familiarity with its local market dynamics, allows me to provide clients with invaluable insights, whether they are buying or selling in the Marlborough Sounds or surrounding areas. Originally from North Yorkshire, England, I began my career in the beauty industry, where I earned an advanced City and Guilds trade certificate in hairdressing and received numerous accolades. After traveling the world, I settled in New Zealand, where I established myself as a successful, self-employed hairdresser and won the prestigious National Hairdresser of the Year Award in Ladies Hairdressing, Wellington. As my interests evolved, I pursued my accountancy degree through the Open Polytechnic, an achievement I reached after the birth of my first child. My longstanding interest in the housing market naturally led me to pursue my real estate salesperson license, where I now use my financial expertise to assist clients in navigating the property landscape. With my diverse skill set, local knowledge, and commitment to client satisfaction, I am dedicated to helping buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals in the Marlborough Sounds and beyond.

I have a true passion for my career in real estate, and after many years in the industry, I still embrace the challenges that a changing market brings.
