Richard started in property very young, at the age of 16, working in the family business he still runs to this day the Property Centre, which is predominantly a commercial agency across the North West. Having been involved in property since he was young, he has gained experience developing sites in the Wirral, flipping houses, and has now built up a portfolio worth over £5m, using his experience and resources along the way.
The idea of creating a new company, DeytoDey, was to cater for his own private clients, whom he had built up over the years, and to offer effectively a one-stop-shop service being a proactive, resourceful agent who would acquire the properties for clients based all over the globe, then negotiate on their behalf, arrange finance if required, and manage the asset, so that it's a hands-off investment. This has ultimately led to every client wanting to continue to put capital in with DeytoDey and build their portfolio with the team by their side, giving them full confidence.
It has always been a strong point of my career being a good people person and making clients trust me fully to deal with all their assets and capital. It of course helped having a portfolio myself, which gave me the extra edge over other agents, as I would manage the properties like my own, giving the client a top service. Over time, all the clients within our portfolio are now classed as friends, being referred over to more friends and family who have assets they need assistance with or capital to invest and the business continues to thrive organically.
