Richie Carroll

Richie Carroll is the co-founder of a rent-to-own platform called Homely, which aims to assist individuals in transitioning from larger homes to smaller properties. He advocates for the need to create attractive incentives for older homeowners to downsize, highlighting the challenges they face in managing the financial and logistical aspects of moving. Carroll emphasizes the importance of addressing the broader housing crisis in Ireland by increasing the availability of smaller homes, thereby facilitating a smoother transition for 'downsizers' who wish to free up larger family homes for younger generations.
