Richard Bird from Raine and Horne was super helpful during the whole process of the purchase.

Awesome knowledge of the real estate industry and very professional

Richard epitomises excellence. Professionalism and attention to detail. Invest on your return meaning get the best to work with you for the sweat tears and aspirations you envisaged in life. Thanks Richard and thank you to your parents for raising a Gentleman


I hired Richard to sell my South Ripley home , and his vast knowledge and experience ensured it was highlighted in its best light for the 1st open house. He adopted a hands on approach, bringing a personal touch to the sale. Richard was always available to address my questions and concerns, and his tireless efforts led to 4 offers at the 1st open house. He negotiated the best possible outcome and I was thrilled to sell my home for the desired price. Throughout the process Richard demonstrated exceptional professionalism, communication and empathy. I highly recommend Richard to anyone seeking a real estate agent

Richard went above and beyond to discuss with both of us all the necessary information needed for purchasing our first house. He was available whenever we required and went above and beyond to make sure that our purchase was a smooth event. Really appreciate everything Richard did even checking on the house after the cyclone to make sure everything was okay. Would highly recommend him very friendly and we have no complaints.

As a retired real estate agent, I was looking for an agent who I could trust and to give me the truth about my house with no real estate BS. I also wanted someone who understood, since I had a long-term tenant in my house (which R&H are managing and was vacating) to treat him with respect and empathy in the sale process. I simply wanted a quiet listing and no open houses (which would disturb him) and would have drawn a lot of lookers. We took his advice and agreed on a marketing package. The tenant was in the process of moving and so had everything everywhere in the rather large house so Richard decided to allocate a 1-hour window for 4 qualified groups to visit in 15 minute intervals so as to control the process and do a “one on one” with buyers. As I recall we had 3 verbal offers that day and had agreed on a price the day after – Sunday. (Richard worked tiredly on that day with the one couple) We did accept an offer the day after and one month later – (last week) we settled! Throughout the process Richard kept in constant touch with the buyers and walked them through the building inspection and finance stage. He took time to show empathy and visit the tenant and kept him informed of each process but more importantly kept in touch with me by SMS and phone as to what was happening. I must say, the whole process was as seamless as could be and also the background work done by the R&H admin staff and communication was impeccable! Richard went way above and beyond in looking after us and as such he deserves the highest of accolades for his professionalism and “no nonsense” attitude and achieving a record price. If I had another property for sale – Richard would be the man! Well done- you have made my wife and I very happy.

Easy to talk too and genuinely wanted to help us out. Open and honest exchange of information as situations changed. Experience shows and also helped to put us in contact with some trades to help us do some work prior to moving in.

Engaging with Richard throughout our purchase process has been seamless. As an interstate purchaser, Richard's attention to detail, responsiveness, and willingness to go above and beyond has been greatly appreciated. His local knowledge, network, and relationships with nearby tradespeople has been invaluable. Thank you Richard.

We’ve sold 2 properties with Richard now and can honestly say he’s in a field of his own. Buying and selling a home is a stressful process but not with Richard. I’d consider myself to be a bit OCD with preparation and presentation to strengthen our position and Richard is bang-on in this area. It’s about the journey and I felt comfortable as a seller so the buyers no doubt experience the same thing. People like Richard are few and far these days and I’m extremely grateful we met him all those years ago. Great agent but more importantly, great guy

Richard made the entire process of buying our home incredibly smooth and stress-free. From the very beginning, his approach was straightforward and professional, making it easy to navigate what can often be a complicated process. His friendly and approachable manner put us at ease right away. Communication was always timely and clear, and Richard consistently kept us informed at every step, which we greatly appreciated. Whenever we had questions or needed guidance, Richard was extremely responsive and always available to provide assistance, no matter the time of day. Thanks to Richard’s dedication and expertise, we are now happily moved into our new home and couldn’t be more thrilled. We’re so grateful for his efforts and highly recommend his services to anyone looking to buy a property. Thank you, Richard!
