"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"

"Richard Siskie was essential in the selling of our current home and purchasing of our new one. His extensive background and career disciplines made him a perfect choice for our needs. Extremely thorough and knowledgeable in the Florida market, he provided good information about the areas we wanted to see and made our sale and purchase an easier task. He was always on time and if he promised to do something we could count on it being done." - Dennis & Barbara S.

★★★★★
"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.

★★★★★
" This was the first time selling a house, it was nice having an agent walk us through every step and helping us with what needed to be done to make our home more acceptable to a buyer.

★★★★★
" 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.

★★★★★
"Rich was a great agent. In this market it is very hard to find a decent house in budget but Rich was always on top of new listings and available for questions or last minute showings." - Sherry P.
