RICHARD JEE
My passion for real estate started at an early age, I was exposed to new construction development through my father’s role as a Tile Contractor. I would be sweeping floors and grabbing tools for him in those new homes. This evolved into 8 years of hands-on work and management within his small business. With the ambition to grow in the industry, I pursued the Business Operations Management Program at BCIT, where I was able to hone my professional skills.
Post-graduation, my journey led me to a career in building custom homes and residential renovations. Here, I successfully oversaw the construction of custom single-family homes ranging from 3,000 SF to over 8,000 SF. The pursuit of building a dream home for clients with detailed quality craftsmanship that led to the most satisfied clients was what I found most rewarding.
I worked within all of my client's budgets to create a transparent, stress-free home-building journey. Designing the most aesthetically pleasing details and then executing in construction, working together on value engineering and offering expert advice on where money should be spent is important. I want every home to suit the needs of the client, but, at the same time keep in mind resale value for a time, they may want to upgrade and find a new family for their home.
Subsequently, I seized an opportunity in Seattle, Washington, USA to work for a publicly traded real estate developer. With a background in business operations and construction, my responsibilities and exposure spanned the entire business and life cycle of multifamily development. I worked on three large-scale projects valued at over $500M.
My time here included working on everything from acquisitions, feasibility, entitlements, development management, construction management, sales and marketing, condominium sales, commercial lease-up, closeout, unit turnover, warranty management, and even establishing an in-house brokerage.
Now here in the GTA I have already worked on multiple commercial renovations including restaurants and offices. Rounding out my experience across all sectors of development and construction is what led me to embark on this new chapter with Soverie Development. With over 16 years of experience in the real estate industry, I have developed a profound understanding of the sector at all levels to be effective in leadership, risk identification, profit maximization, and cost savings.
