I have a high and respected profile in the community.

Vast experience in the Real Estate Industry results from 23 years listing and selling in the western suburbs of our city. Treating buyers and sellers with high standard of professionalism in a relaxed friendly manner is the trait of my personality. This combined with a broad knowledge of marketing, legal, community and sales means people enjoy their housing experience with me.

Moving across from a similar career in finance and sales I have developed specialist knowledge of our community. Over 30 years of living in Matua I have owned three homes in the suburb. I am chairperson of Matua Residents Assn and my leadership has resulted in a number of initiatives that have added value to the community. My children received their schooling at local schools so I understand the value and opportunities that these schools provide.

Well known by families for my leadership at Otumoetai Football Club for 20 years, also as the driving force behind Otumoetai Sports and Recreation Club whose multi use clubrooms overlook Fergusson Park I have a high and respected profile in the community.

If you wish to avail yourself of my experience by buying or selling your home then I am only too happy to seek a great result for you and your family.

• I recently sold my home through Richard Kluit and Eves Cherrywood. Richard made the confusing process of auction simple and stress free. He explained what was happening, what my options were, and kept in touch regularly with updates and to ensure the process was as simple as possible. Richard maintained a professional manner at all times and I appreciate that he brought his experience and personality to the process.
  I highly recommend Richard to anyone considering buying or selling a home in the Tauranga area. His knowledge of the area and current housing market made me feel confident and comfortable that I had made the right decision. Thank you Richard and the team at Eves Cherrywood.

• Julie and I would like to thank you for the effort that you put into selling our house. The sound advise you gave us before we went on the market and had the open homes. We were impressed with you Richard and the Eves team with the professional way the house was marketed which we are sure was the main factor in the quick sale. Thank you again and we will not hesitate to tell people to list with Eves.

• We would like the thank Eves and in particular Richard from Eves Cherrywood, for the outstanding result from selling our mother’s property. From our first contact with Richard we were impressed with his manner, understanding & consideration of our requirements in selling, and we have past this onto other Lilac neighbours in the hope they may consider using Eves if they have the need in the future. Richard was so helpful in every respect of the sale, and in keeping us informed, whether it be after open homes or any other matter necessary. Also a neighbor mentioned to me, Richard had introduced the new owner of Lilac to some of the neighbours. I think this is a wonderful personal gesture and probably unheard of these days. Thank you!

• A big thank you for your professional and personable style in selling of our property at 3 Lilac Place, Cherrywood, Tauranga. We found you to be easy to talk to, honest and friendly and we would thoroughly recommend your to anyone wanting a great real estate agent. My family were suitably impressed with your easy going nature in the handling of the sale, which made a difficult time much more stress-free for us. If we were to ever sell our present property, you would be our chosen AGENT to contact.
