Since beginning his real estate career in 2017, Richard opened his first acquisition in 2021 and has been steadily growing his portfolio ever since.
 
Raised in a family with a strong construction background, Richard gained early exposure to the industry by working with his father’s company, which develops residential and office buildings. This foundation gave him practical insights into property development, acquisitions, and market analysis.

A firm believer in networking—“Our network is our net worth”—Richard works closely with mentors, the Ellsbury Group, and the EJC Team in Chicago, continually expanding his network of like-minded professionals. Integrity, clear communication, and a client-first mindset define his approach, following the principle of treating others as he would want to be treated.

"Farris doesn’t just help the big guys. He has guided me (and three of my friends) over the past few years to buy and manage rentals. Even being an out-of-town investor, the whole process has been shockingly easy. If you are an investor at any stage of the journey, I have no reservations recommending this group."

"I met Farris when I only had one investment property in late 2021. Since then we have grown to 15 doors (and counting). Not only have Farris and the Ellsbury team found me incredible deals, but they have also helped me learn so much along the way and helped me set my family up for a bright future. Early retirement is within reach thanks to the portfolio that Ellsbury has helped me grow."

"I have had the opportunity to work with Farris and Tariq on many multi-million dollar apartment transactions. They are both very knowledgeable in the space because they don’t just broker apartment buildings, they own many themselves so they understand firsthand how to underwrite them, buy them, and manage them. They have brought me over 500+ rentals over the last two years! I highly recommend them! They are very responsive and work hard to make all parties in the transaction a winner."
