As seen in... Profiles of Excellence 2017
Originally from Ottawa, David came to Vancouver in 1979 with nothing but the clothes on his back. David’s parents had fostered a strong sense of community and an even stronger work ethic. Needing to provide for his growing family, David set his sights on a career in real estate.
“At the time, I had no car and I didn’t know the city well,” laughs Richardson, “but I knew matching families to the right home in the right neighbourhood would be very rewarding.”
Now, after 30-plus years of experience David has a commanding take on Vancouver real estate – a perspective that has been rewarded again and again by businesses and real estate organizations.
Consistently ranked as one of the Top 100 RE/MAX REALTORS® in Canada and a Lifetime Member of the Medallion Club, David is known for his professional expertise, resourcefulness, dedicated customer service, and relaxed style. “Join me for a cup of coffee,” David invites prospective clients in his marketing campaigns. Brutally honest, and a skilled valuator of properties, his opinions are highly regarded and sought-after by appraisers, tax assessors and fellow agents.
He has been the recipient of numerous awards throughout his career. In 2014, RE/MAX International presented David with the RE/MAX Circle of Legends award acknowledging his outstanding professional achievements.
Like his parents before him, David Richardson believes that it is important to give back to the community he calls home. From the beginning of his career, his commitment of time and financial support to many Vancouver Westside associations, clubs, organizations and events has helped shape the neighbourhoods in which he works and lives. His support is extensive and ongoing.
“After more than 30 years, I can still honestly say I love my job,” he says. “In the end, always be honest, don’t give your clients a line … if you do your job to the best of your ability, the rewards are immense – great clients, great friends, great relationships!”
