Director, Licensed Real Estate Agent – Residential Sales agent 0402 485 121

Overview: Since arriving full-time in 2015, young gun Pat Richards has quickly established himself as an integral part of Geelong Commercial’s Sales and Leasing team.

Outside his bourgeoning real estate career, Pat has particular passions for his young family and for sport.

After spending several years training and 39 pro fights throughout Australia, Thailand, the US and NZ Pat has coached several young fighters. Pat is also an accomplished cricketer and has recently been appointed Captain of the Leopold Cricket Club. The rigors and extreme disciplines involved in pro-fighting have given Pat a rare level of maturity for such a young man. He is driven, determined and focused on establishing himself as a career-agent of choice and will work harder than most to prove it. Pat is a true competitor and inherently knows how to get the deal done.
