Thank you, Rick!

If you need an advocate in the real estate world, you should give Rick a call! After being married and owning a home for nearly 20 years, I felt the process of finding and purchasing a home to be a bit overwhelming. However, Rick has been constantly available to answer questions and provide the most current information while on the hunt. He continuously keeps me up to date on homes of interest and is dedicated to helping me find the perfect fit for my family and my budget. I trust his desire to provide a smooth and safe experience for his clients. Having someone on your side with all the knowledge allows me to feel secure and confident in my decisions moving forward. Thank you, Rick!

— Stacia S

He is a great advocate for our Vets!

Rick is a top notch realtor that truly cares for his clients and their needs and desires. He is a master of his craft and is always striving to learn and grow to better serve his clients. Rick's education on VA Loans is outstanding. Not only is he a Veteran, he is a great advocate for our Vets. Thank you for all you do, Rick!

— Mark Clarke

He was diligent!

Working with Rick was awesome! As a single mother looking to purchase a home, I wanted a realtor who would take me seriously, treat me with respect and answer all my questions in a professional manner. Rick did all this and more! He was extremely knowledgeable about the market and took the time to understand my requirements and budget. He made me feel comfortable throughout the entire process and was very responsive to all my questions - even on the weekends. He was diligent in his search for the perfect home for me and when we located a house that met all my needs, he acted quickly to secure a showing and write an offer. He expertly negotiated a contract with the seller that included mutually agreed upon concessions and other terms that made my offer more favorable than other offers that were submitted. He stayed on top of all the tasks that were required for our quick closing, including an inspection that he scheduled in a day, an additional termite inspection and an appraisal. He even kept in close contact with the lender to ensure that things progressed without delay. Thanks to his hard work and attention to detail, I am the proud owner of a new home.
