Rick was an amazing realtor from start to finish! He was so patient and encouraging during this entire process. He always went above and beyond to research options and potential homes/condos to look at. He was always willing to rearrange his schedule and coordinate times to come view properties with me. He is very thorough and goes into great detail explaining the different aspects of home-buying. I felt extremely confident through the whole process because Rick was so available and knowledgeable. I wholeheartedly recommend him as a realtor!

Rick was extremely detailed and thorough in walking us through the sale of our house. We greatly valued his integrity, availability and hard work. Just before putting our house on the market, he did a final check as the the appropriate listing price. He wanted to make sure we were in a good range for reasonable sell time at the full value of our house. That last minute check ensured a higher price for our house with a bid accepted in a week( 4 bids came in). He took the time to find a great company to work with for inspection repairs , making closing smooth and painless. Rick is our Agent for life!!!!

Rick was the absolute best realtor. He helped my husband and I find our first home and was extremely patient with us through the whole process. There were a few times we decided to hold on purchasing a home due to the changing economy and Rick was patient, understanding and kind through it all. He was extremely professional and went above and beyond. He helped us find our first home in Kirkland, Washington at an incredible rate. I trust Rick completely and often called him to explain parts of the paperwork I was not clear on as he was somebody I could fully trust. Rick went above and beyond even after the sale by doing extra research for us. I will 100% work with Rick again.

When we first started looking for houses we were working with a different agent, and did not feel like he was on our side and it left us feeling a bit lost and confused. At that moment we decided if we wanted to find a home in this market, we needed to find an agent we could trust, and one that was going to work hard to help us. We were referred by a family friend to work with Rick, and it was the best decision we could have made as he helped us land our dream first home for a surprising deal during a hotter than normal Seattle market in February.
For a first time home buyer, Rick was exactly what we needed. He would send us extremely detailed messages or hop on the phone to explain every part of the process and gave us real time updates on his communication with the different listing brokers. We felt like Rick was on our team from the first day we met him and assured us that as long as we didn't give up, he would make sure we found a home.
I think some of Rick's best qualities as an agent not only include being extremely kind, but also being so knowledgeable about the market and the process in general that he is able to communicate at a level where first time home buyers can understand and feel confident in the process, and we felt comfortable asking any questions, even if they were repetitive. Rick also emphasized his commitment to building relationships with the other listing brokers, which definitely contributed to us getting the deal that we did. This extra effort on his part made us feel like we were given the best representation we could have in a transaction, and that he was willing to go above and beyond because he genuinely wanted us to win each home. Rick made his way out to Green Lake whenever we needed, even if it was on a moment's notice, and we felt so supported the whole time. We can't thank Rick enough for all the time he invested in us and everything he taught us along the way. We learned so much over our 2.5 months with Rick.
After we finished signing all the paperwork for our new home, we said the worst part about the process being over was that we no longer would get to see Rick every weekend! We feel very grateful for our experience and could not have imagined working with anyone else. Thank you Rick!
