"From start to finish Rick Kotowicz went above and beyond to make the sale of our home go as smooth as possible. We reluctantly put our home on the market because Covid restrictions made travel between Canada and the USA impossible. Those same restrictions also kept us from being there to see after repairs, painting and the multitude of other things that have to happen before a house goes on the market. Rick stepped in and filled that void in a way that was beyond any expectations. His professionalism and desire for perfection made the whole process problem free. In the end he had 55 showings that resulted in 7 offers, all over the original asking price.
Great work Rick.

"I don't even know where to begin. Rick is the BEST!! We had 50+ showings over 2 weeks, and he knew every detail of my house/could answer every question after showing #1. Thank god Rick is so energetic and positive! He not showed my place with genuine enthusiasm at every showing, but also, he managed to put up with me. :) I don't say this often...but Rick is a unicorn. (I've had a number of real estate agents, and none of them were nearly as authentic, experienced, bright, personable, proactive, intelligent, savvy, energetic, and just plain impressive as Rick.) He genuinely enjoys what he does for a living, is extremely good at it, is experienced & knowledgeable, is incredibly responsive (we talked at least 3x/day), and has amazing negotiating skills. I received a number of offers way above my asking price, and that's all because of Rick! I really can't speak more highly of anyone. Rick is a rockstar realtor (and person) from Mars!!!"

"There aren’t enough starts in the sky to give our realtor and friend Rick.
He was with us every step of the way, from start to finish FOR 2 YEARS!!!
As first time buyers he helped us create a plan and a budget. He patiently educated us the in process and also found us a great lender that made us competitive in this crazy market, with ONLY 5% down and no loan contingency! He was always upbeat and hopeful we would find the perfect home (even when we temporarily lost hope).
After many offers we got everything wanted and more!!

"I really cannot recommend Rick enough. Not only he is a pleasure to work with, always available, happy to explain any question a first time home buyer will have, he will also fight for your money as if it was his never giving up. I cannot recommend him enough." - Alexandros

★★★★★
"As a first-time homebuyer, let alone a foreigner, this process can be incredibly stressful and complicated. I've been looking for a home for two years, and Rick has been my rock through this tough ride. He was instrumental in explaining to me the processes and procedures. He was very attentive to my needs and I can assure you that I had a very specific image of the home I wanted, and he got me that home. Not only he was instrumental and resourceful in having my back through Escrow, he was a calming presence to reassure me and warn me for any potential problems. I cannot vouch for him more. He will make your own ride much much easier!"

About Rick
Richard worked in the fashion industry as a National Sales Manager for powerhouse brands such as Lucky Brand, Diesel, and Wildfox to name a few. His success in running these companies afforded him the ability to purchase a few investment properties in West Hollywood. Truly, Richard became fascinated with the home buying process and wanted to learn as much as possible. After purchasing his second investment property he decided to take the plunge and get his real estate license.

Richard's first six months in the industry kept him busy and by the year's end, he was awarded the Rookie of the year award for his excellence in customer satisfaction and sales. He surpassed hundreds of new agents and became a top producer right out of the gate. Since then he continues to provide a high level of service and expertise in the field. He is an excellent communicator and negotiator and that allows him to not only understand your needs but he makes sure that each of his clients is getting the best deal possible.

Richard has been able to take his years of running multi-million dollar companies and utilize that experience to its fullest potential within the real estate market. His dedication shines through in every transaction and his passion for making people’s dreams a reality is the driving force of his success.
