About Richard Simpson

Richard Simpson is the fifth generation of Simpson to join the family real estate business since its inception in 1872. Richard is a Licensed Estate Agent and divides his time between managing the firm's large portfolio of Commercial & Industrial properties and working closely with the Sales Team overseeing the increase in profile of the firm throughout Melbourne's inner suburbs in both Residential and Commercial sales. His genuine passion for real estate, combined with superb negotiating skills and his attention to detail, enable him to deliver a premium level of service to his clients. Listening to clients' needs, creative marketing, knowledge of property and careful consideration when providing advice to clients buying and selling real estate, are core strengths that contribute to Richard's continuing success. Richard is also an outstanding and entertaining auctioneer, highly skilled at obtaining the very best price for his vendors. Richard is a director of the Real Estate Institute of Victoria, following in the footsteps of his Father and Grandfather. Prior to joining W.B.
