Residential Sales

Bousfield Macpherson Ltd, Bayleys,Licensed under the REA Act 2008

With over a decade of experience in residential real estate and a diverse background in land surveying, development, and technical drafting, Richard brings a unique combination of knowledge, experience, and integrity to every property transaction. Based in Gisborne and a long-time resident of Wainui Beach, he is known for his practical insight, honest advice, and deep local understanding.

Richard began his professional career as a draughtsman in the public sector, where he developed a keen eye for detail and a strong foundation in land and infrastructure planning. This early experience sparked an interest in land development and led him to establish his own surveying company in the late 1990s. As owner and manager, he built the business into a respected and successful operation known for accuracy, reliability, and client-focused service.

After more than a decade in surveying, Richard made the move into residential real estate. Over the past 12 years, he has established himself as a trusted and results-driven salesperson, helping a wide range of clients buy and sell property throughout the region. His background in surveying gives him a unique edge when it comes to understanding site potential, boundaries, and development opportunities - offering clients a level of insight that goes beyond the typical sales process.

Outside of work, Richard has enjoyed the laid-back coastal lifestyle of Wainui Beach for over 40 years. He takes full advantage of the summer months, swimming, fishing, and making the most of everything the area has to offer. Family is a central part of his life, and he and his partner love spending time with their three young granddaughters who live outside Gisborne, as well as traveling regularly to the Pacific Islands and Australia.

In his younger years, Richard was a competitive football player and cyclist. These days, he’s more likely to be found cheering from the sidelines as an enthusiastic armchair critic, still passionate about sport but with a slightly more relaxed approach.

Grounded, knowledgeable, and genuinely committed to his clients and community, Richard offers a real estate service built on experience, trust, and a deep connection to the region he proudly calls home.

We have had the pleasure of working with Richard Pearce on two occasions: when purchasing our first home in 2020 and, most recently, when selling our first home. He has gone over and above to ensure our home is well-represented on the market and targets the right audience. We cannot recommend him highly enough! From the very first meeting, Richard impressed us with his professionalism, deep knowledge of the market, and genuine passion for real estate. Always putting people first! Richard's attention to detail and commitment to understanding our needs made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He was always available to answer our questions, provide valuable insights, and guide us through every step of the selling process. His negotiation skills are top-notch, ensuring we got the best deal possible while working within tight timeframes. What truly sets Richard apart is his dedication to his clients. He went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and confident in our decisions. When preparing our home for photos and viewings, Richard would watch our two-year-old son play outside to give us some time to finish things off inside. His friendly and approachable demeanor made working with him a joy. Thanks to Richard, we sold our first home and found our dream home, and we couldn't be happier. If you're looking for a real estate agent who is knowledgeable, trustworthy, and who genuinely cares about his clients, look no further than Richard Pearce. He is simply the best!
