Richard Morse, local Realtor, developer, and home stager, opened his own Brokerage, Richard Morse Real Estate, LLC, on the Boston Post Road in West Haven in May of 2018.
Richard is a life-long greater New Haven resident and businessman, starting his real estate journey back in the late 1980’s. His career includes real estate sales, development, construction, mortgage banking, mortgage brokering, and more recently interior design and home staging.
“I feel the time is right for the real estate world to return to the more ‘hometown feel’ for business that we have steadily been losing over the past decade. Most all of the small Mom & Pop agencies have disappeared or been gobbled up by the corporate machine. Clients want to feel like they are dealing with local businesses and local people, not corporate policies decided in some boardroom nowhere near Connecticut.”
Richard has over 25 years of experience in the real estate industry and has received numerous awards for production and customer service. “I try and treat my clients in the exact same way I would want to be treated.” Richard has personally bought and sold hundreds of homes himself, beginning with his very first flip in West Haven on the West Shore. “I sold that and made a profit, and then I was hooked!” Richard represents several investors and builders and always has a supply of renovated homes for sale.
He worked in the mortgage industry for many years, as a senior loan officer for companies such as Chase and Webster Bank, culminating with his own mortgage brokerage, Phoenix Mortgage Group, until 2010.
Richard obtained his real estate license in 2007 because he much preferred that side of the business. Always looking ahead and growing, he got his real estate brokers license this year and opened up shop. “Any agents we bring in will be extreme high quality, and high producing professionals.” The home staging business grew out his dedication to his flip properties through his development company, Phoenix Properties Real Estate Development. He now stages homes for fellow Realtors, other flippers, and builders. Richard has been working steadily on his web-based reality real estate TV show, “The Morse Code”.
Richard Morse Real Estate occupies part of the 5000 square foot building he purchased and renovated a few years ago, and the rest of the building houses the abundant staging furniture.
Born and raised in the New Haven area, Richard currently resides in Orange with his husband and has two grown children, both Brown University grads. In his spare time, he enjoys cooking, building furniture, traveling, and flying back and forth to South Beach, Miami, as often as possible.
