Richard Dixon

Director/ Auctioneer

Entering the real estate world by buying his first property in London at the age of 23, Richard quickly realized real estate property was going to be big part of his life. Having travelled and worked in many countries around the world Richard has developed a vast range of interpersonal skills which allows him to work with vendors and buyers alike creating positive outcomes for all involved.

Richard was heavily involved in the early days developing relationships with corporate businesses looking to invest in the Brisbane property market and establish a strong foothold in the southern and northern suburbs.

"Real estate is an emotional business so I am always transparent with my clients. I love getting sellers great results and always keep you informed through the whole process."
