0412 385 056Richard started his illustrious real estate career in London in 1989, a time when the term 'negative equity' was first heard and many a front door key was handed to the bank manager. In these difficult times, and for the next five years, Richard was ranked in the top 3%, often as the top performer for Foxtons, one of the largest real estate companies in the UK. Richard achieved these results though his passion for people and property, hard work and continually striving for excellence.
Following his return to Perth in 1994, Richard began listing and selling property in the Western Suburbs and Fremantle. He quickly earned a reputation for achieving record prices with a courteous and efficient manner. Richard’s strong client focus propelled him to open his own agency with business partner Tim Caporn in July 2001. He is now sole Director and Licensee of Caporn Young Estate Agents.
After a relatively short period, Caporn Young Estate Agents has established itself as one of the forerunners of real estate in Perth, offering a fresh approach, a passion and an enthusiasm that is second to none. The company’s philosophy is soundly based on integrity, honesty and hard work, with a commitment to providing exceptional service and the best possible advice and outcomes for their clients every time. The proof is in their exceptional sales track record and a stable of satisfied and loyal customers.
In the time Richard has worked in real estate, he has experienced incredible change, including dizzying highs and the challenging lows. His longevity and success is testament to his hard work, vision and determination.
Richard believes that the role of the agent has changed and that as an agent it is essential to keep abreast of the changing technologies and the ever-changing market place.
"Agents used to be the gate keepers of information. It was all important to be a good local agent, and sellers and buyers used local agents for this knowledge. Today local knowledge can be gained in about 30 seconds over the internet."
"Buyers will generally look in several suburbs for the right home not just one. A benefit of using this technology effectively, and a database of over 1200 purchasers across all suburbs, often results in record prices being achieved above prices suggested by 'local' agents".
Richard is unashamedly a vendor's agent. His goal is to achieve not just a good result but one that his vendors are ecstatic with. Richard is a master-craftsman at creating first-class marketing campaigns that deliver results. He has the ability to adapt to all suburbs and property types and is a skilled and seasoned negotiator with unstoppable enthusiasm.
Together, Richard and his beautiful wife Lynndy have three wonderful children Alistair, Elliot and Cormack. Richard grew up in the Western Suburbs where he attended both Scotch College and the University of Western Australia.
