★★★★★
"Rich has been a great asset to us in our new home project; we were looking for a tear down property with very specific parameters. Rich helped us acquire this property at a great value, coordinated the demolition of the home, and organized meetings with a few of the top builders in the area, as well as some new up-and-comers. He is very knowledgeable and well connected in this regard, and would be very helpful to anyone looking to build their dream home. -Matt Harry"

★★★★★
"Rich Siskie, simply stated, was absolutely awesome. From start to finish he was deeply involved in every step in the home buying process. His communication skills are second to none. Initially he listened to what the client wanted. That was extremely important. After we decided on a property, Rich communicated with all the involved entities. The loan officers, title agents, insurance brokers, HOA’s, etc. and always kept us informed. We have never worked with anyone who was so knowledgeable, thorough and thoughtful in all aspects. We are now in our dream property. Many, many thanks to Rich. Will work with him again in a heartbeat. -Rick and Martha Henninger 😎"

★★★★★
"I recently had the pleasure of working with Rich Siskie to purchase my first home in Venice, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. As a first-time homebuyer, I was understandably nervous and had countless questions. From the very beginning, Rich made the entire process incredibly easy and stress-free. Rich's expertise and patience were evident in every step of the journey. He took the time to explain every detail and answer all my questions, no matter how small. His knowledge of the Venice area and the real estate market was invaluable, helping me find the perfect home that met all my needs. Even after closing a month ago, Rich has continued to be a fantastic resource, always available to answer any questions I have and offering valuable advice. His dedication and commitment to his clients are truly remarkable. I highly recommend Rich Siskie to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thank you, Rich, for making my dream of homeownership a reality! -C. Howell"

★★★★★
"I started looking online a year ago for our retirement home and came across Richard. As a Realtor myself, I like to stay loyal so I only engaged with him and stayed with him during this whole process. He went well above and beyond my expectations. Always available, always knowledgeable. I appreciated his willingness to be my "second" eyes. I am looking forward to coming to Florida in the near future and seeing and working with him on my journey. " - Laurie F.

★★★★★
" Rich is an excellent person to work with. He never stops working until he finds you the right place. He was very patient, honest, friendly and hardworking. He is by far the best real estate agent I have worked with and goes above and beyond to help you - including help me after the closing in finding some contractors to make some changes to our home, which he did not have to. He is not pushy and always available 24/7. I highly recommend Rich for your home needs. " - Shankar

★★★★★
" Rich did a computer interview to get to know me and my criteria. He began by providing listings in the areas where I showed interest. When I found one, he went to look at it, took videos, made comments on the property, all of which were accurate. He did not work for the seller, just the buyer. He told me how to get the home in the seller's market, suggested what offer was needed and closing time. Property was listed on a Monday and was mine the following Sunday over other buyers. Rich connected me with the title company, basic service companies such as cable, power, inspections, and insurance. He visited after the sale as well. I recommended him to two family members, one of which worked with him to get her current property as well. " - Richard P.

★★★★★
" He was an amazing agent. Would request his services in the future. " - Nancy

★★★★★
" If you are seeking a licensed FL Real Estate Agent, be sure to talk with Rich. He is knowledgable, reliable and just a great guy to do business with. He's experienced, follows pricing/marketing trends and especially knows the geography and neighborhoods of the Manatee and Sarasota Counties. Best of all, Rich tracks his business well and will help to address your concerns if you get stuck anywhere in the sales or lending process. Last, but not least, when you and he finally come to the day of your closing, you will not only feel a great sense of satisfaction, but you will be proud to call Rich Siskie your friend. " - Mary P.

★★★★★
" We bought our home in Florida while still in California. Richard was very professional during the entire transaction. We had a delay in selling our home in California but Richard made sure we didn't lose the contract here in Florida. It was only his hard work in building a relationship with the selling agent that saved the contract. Richard gives real estate agents a good name. " - James M.

★★★★★
" It took a while but we found a place because of Rich. He works hard and is straight with you." - Charles N.
