Richard Austin

I am exceptionally adept at fostering long term relationships through unparalleled customer satisfaction within the luxury automobile arena as proven by the lasting relationships I have with long time clients who continue to reach out to me from all points of the country. I bring a passion for driving loyalty that emphasizes collaboration and teamwork to deliver tailored solutions to guarantee lasting customer relationships. My mission centers on creating memorable experiences for clients while empowering teams to achieve shared success through emphasis on training staff to constantly improve and stay current and informed.

Successful sales management within the luxury product market, especially the automobile sector requires the innate ability to communicate, negotiate, and above all consummate relationships with some of the country's highest achievers: CEOs, CFO's medial professionals and senior managers demographic profiles not historically prone to emotional decisions. Longevity in such a critical arena requires credibility, knowledge, and perhaps most importantly an unwavering attention to current and prevailing detail.

Consultant - Consulting: Various projects

(2019-11)

I have been involved in various projects, assisting in the development of sustainable farming methods with alliances in the wine and farming region of Sonoma County. I have also continued to consult with long established clients to help with new platforms and business directions to better evaluate and substantiate justifiable market value changes for large properties in the subsidized housing market within the US and abroad, primarily section 8. I keep my feet wet in the automotive world by constantly monitoring online automotive auctions, making personal purchases to supply vehicles to long established clients who continue to request assistance.
