Just some of what our happy sellers and buyers have said about our services:

R Hartpence, Seller and Buyer

"Rico has been great to work with over the years. He has helped me and my family buy and sell 2 houses with zero hassle. His responsiveness to our needs was on point and he took the time to walk us through every question we had. With Rico you feel like family and you know that he is looking out for your best interest. That is what makes him special.."

R Kinsella, seller

"We made an offer on a home that was not contingent on the sale of ours. But, we needed to sell our house - and fast - in hopes that it would close before our new home did. We interviewed Rico on Wednesday. He had a very thorough plan for his approach and our plan was to list the next week on Thursday. Change of plans - we called him the next day and asked if he could get our home listed TODAY...and he did! Our home was listed that same day, complete with beautiful photos;. he held an open house Saturday with lots of traffic, we had multiple offers and accepted one on Tuesday. The sale of our home closed within 14 days without a hitch. Rico is kind, responsive, and knowledgeable. With a background in mortgage lending, he was able to offer insight that other agents can't. We asked to use the same title company we were using for our transaction, as that would have made the transfer of funds effortless. Rico insisted on using the Coldwell Banker title company, which added a layer of complexity that could have been avoided. Other than that, Rico was a miracle worker that did everything in his power to make us feel as if we were his most important client."

C Stellmacher, Seller and Buyer

"Rico is an awesome realtor. He did a great job helping to navigate us through this ever changing housing market. In addition, Rico educates you during the process to ensure that you are making informed decisions. I highly recommend utilizing Rico for your home purchase/selling needs!"
