Richard D. Lemon is a Florida real estate broker, author, U.S. Air Force veteran, and trusted advisor with more than 26 years of experience helping buyers, sellers, investors, and families navigate some of the most important financial decisions of their lives.
Based on Florida’s Space Coast, Richard has built his career on a simple philosophy: take care of the people, and everything else will fall into place.
Over the years, he has helped clients through nearly every kind of real estate situation—from first-time home purchases and VA buyers to waterfront and luxury properties, investment real estate, foreclosures, and complex transactions. His experience has taught him that the most expensive real estate mistakes are often the ones that could have been prevented by asking the right questions before signing on the dotted line.
That belief inspired his first book, 10 Expensive Mistakes Florida Homebuyers Make: And How to Avoid Every One of Them, part of the Richard Lemon Real Estate Series. Through real-world stories and practical lessons from his career, Richard gives readers the kind of straightforward guidance he has shared with his own clients for decades.
Richard believes buying a home should be exciting—not intimidating. His goal as an author is the same as his goal as a real estate professional: to give people the knowledge and confidence to make better decisions, avoid costly mistakes, and enjoy the journey.
A longtime Florida resident, Richard lives on the Space Coast with his wife, Leanne. Family, service, integrity, and helping others remain at the center of both his professional life and his writing.
“The truth is always less expensive before closing than after.”
