★★★★★ (From an industry
professional who chose Rick)
"Rick is an exceptional realtor who made my condo purchase a
truly remarkable experience. As someone who works with hundreds of amazing real
estate agents daily, I can confidently say that Rick's knowledge and expertise
of the market are unmatched. His negotiation skills and relentless drive to get
me to the closing table were invaluable. Locking in Rick for my buyer
representation was the (literal) key to success in my home-buying journey. With
my Real Estate background, I'm humble enough to know I couldn't have done this
without him. Rick demonstrated remarkable dedication and commitment. He fought
battles I didn't have the energy to fight for myself. His transparent and
communicative approach made the often overwhelming process of buying a home
feel manageable and even enjoyable. If you're a first-time homebuyer or just
want a realtor you can trust wholeheartedly, Rick is the one for you. His
dedication, expertise, and genuine care for his clients set him apart from the
rest. I am incredibly grateful for Rick's hard work and couldn't be happier
with my new home. Thank you, Rick, for making my home-buying dreams come
true!" -L.R.

He is a member of DC's Jewish community and teaches religious school at Washington Hebrew Congregation, a place he has called home since 2011.

Rick has also recently developed a passion for Formula 1 through the diligent efforts of his husband who is a lifelong fan.
