In Richard’s 18-year career he has sold over $1.7bn in local property and prides himself in delivering the ultimate outcome for every vendor. In 2019/2020 financial year, Richard was Mosman’s number one agent for highest total dollar sales, as awarded by RateMyAgent. He also sold Mosman’s most expensive house and apartment in 2019. Richard founded Simeon Partners in January 2014, having built a hard-earned reputation based upon selling hundreds of millions of dollars of luxury property each year. His unique, innovative and emotive selling strategies have directly led to Simeon Partners delivering premium results across 33 suburbs Sydney wide, with around 40% of these buyers coming from out of area or international.
Richard says, "We have built a strong international agency, managed locally, and our success lies with achieving the optimum results for all of our vendors." Richard recalls that his 20 years in the marketing and advertising industry defined him, particularly the thousands of hours spent studying consumer behaviour and how to influence purchasers’ decision-making processes. In the 12 years prior to launching Simeon Partners, Richard was a director of a major real estate franchise, where he was consistently number one or two in sales within the national network. The world has moved on in the real estate category, after 30 years of building businesses, in 2014 it was time to start his own and now year on year Simeon Partners is proudly the largest Independent agency on the Lower North Shore (highest dollar sales). In fact, at the end of 2019, Simeon Partners broke through the $1bn in sales barrier.
As we move into the remainder of 2020, we have just launched exciting properties into a strong market on the back of 12% growth during the last quarter of 2019. At Simeon Partners our award-winning team remains in place and determined to offer every vendor a World of Difference, which is we happily publish a vendor testimonial for every property we represent.

Richard can now laugh. Having four children, two years old and under, including triplets, was certainly, the most challenging time in his life. Fortunately, the triplets completed their HSC last year. Richard believes raising his family in Mosman has given him the experience to sell Mosman as the ultimate family lifestyle destination. The local schools, sporting facilities, amenities, restaurants, and cafés are unbeatable. Add to that, the appeal of the location with its proximity to the CBD, excellent transport, beaches and parks and it is little wonder that, like Richard most residents of Mosman believe they are the luckiest on earth.
