Members of the Kermode family were extensively involved in the development of the Fiji Tourist Industry. Rick believes the key to his success has been due to his passion to deliver the best to his customers. Listening and assessing their needs and going the extra mile to ensure properties are tailored to meet these needs instead of fitting clients to existing listings. As quoted by one of Ricks clients - “A rare quality in this industry”. Combined with great work ethics and values, Rick has built a loyal client base and continues to expand and build his business both here in New Zealand and Fiji.
