About Richard Young
Originally Perth-born, bred, and educated, Richard’s real estate journey began with a baptism of fire in London in 1988. At a time when negative equity was widespread and homeowners were walking away from their properties, he developed the resilience and determination that would define his career. As the top-performing agent at Foxtons Estate Agents, he honed his skills in one of the world’s most competitive markets before returning to Perth in 1994 to bring his vision to life—what is now CY Property.
Fast forward to 2025, and under Richard’s leadership, Caporn Young Estate Agents is celebrating 24 years of helping clients achieve their property goals. Having navigated nearly every market condition imaginable—from mortgage interest rates of 17% to global financial crises, mining booms, and the uncertainty of a worldwide pandemic—Richard’s experience is something that money simply cannot buy.
His accolades speak for themselves: a multiple-time REIWA Grand Master Salesperson recipient, a very credible 7th in the Top 100 Real Estate Salesperson in Australia Awards, Principal of the Year in the Australasia Real Estate Awards, and, perhaps most importantly, countless client testimonials attesting to his dedication and results. Selling some of Perth’s most exclusive properties, Richard has negotiated sales that have achieved many street and suburb records including a recent Peppermint Grove sale at over $20 million and a riverfront single residential block of land in Mosman Park for $12 million.
