As the founder of the Red Square Team, Gillian Ritchie is delighted to work side-by-side with a core team who hold the same professional values as herself. Gillian applies her years of experience in corporate sales, hands-on experience building, selling, renovating, and decorating homes, and accreditations in both Interior Design and Staging to every relationship she builds.
Equipped with a wealth of experience and knowledge, she can provide insightful information to buyers and sellers alike. With expertise and passion for interior design and staging, she is passionate that all Red Square Team homes are styled, staged, and sold efficiently and effectively. At the negotiating table, Gillian excels for her clients and navigates even the most challenging situations with grace and ease.

When she is not working in real estate, she is an avid runner, Peloton-enthusiast, basketball fan and traveller.
