"As first-time homebuyers, we were incredibly lucky and grateful to have Rick on our side throughout the entire process guiding us and providing unconditional support.
Rick is exceptionally knowledgeable not just in the buying and selling process but also in home construction. He provided valuable insight during house tours, pointing out parts of the house that were easy to fix and things that were more problematic that we should take into consideration. In a competitive market where we waived the house inspection to make a more competitive offer, Rick’s insight was much appreciated.
In addition to his knowledge, Rick has excellent communication skills and is very responsive to email, text and phone calls. The turnaround for offers and closing for the house were incredibly fast and so we very much appreciated that he was available almost 24/7 to make sure we did not miss any deadlines and address any concerns or questions that we had.
When you work with Rick, you get his network as well. We worked with the mortgage lender and attorney he recommended. They had already worked with each other before which made the whole process seamless. As first-time homebuyers, this took a big weight off our shoulders, especially since we were new to the process and were learning a lot in a very short time. And throughout the whole process, Rick was there checking in with us to make sure we had everything we needed and providing updates.
In addition to all of his excellent traits that make him a super effective agent, Rick is also a really kind and good person. He truly cares about his clients."

"I can't say enough good things about Rick. What started as a professional real estate transaction quickly evolved into a friendship that I cherish.
From the moment we met, Rick impressed me with his professionalism, knowledge, and dedication. He goes above and beyond, taking the time to understand my needs and preferences. His expertise in the local market was evident, and I always felt like I was in good hands.
But what truly sets Rick apart is his genuine care for his clients. He didn't just stop at finding me a house; he made sure it was the right fit for me. He guided me through every step of the process, offering valuable advice and always being available to answer my countless questions.
I have worked with Rick for more than 5 years now and across 3 transactions. I think I know whom to go every time I need someone
Even after the deal was done, Rick continued to be a supportive friend. He checked in to see how we were settling in and addressing any issues that came up after we moved. His kindness and generosity have truly left a lasting impression.
I'm not just grateful for finding my home; I'm grateful for gaining a wonderful friend in the process. If you're looking for a real estate agent who goes above and beyond, look no further than Rick. Thank you, Rick, for everything!"

"After interviewing several candidates, we decided to work with Rick to help us sell our house. His knowledge of the best practices in selling a house, his straight up honest opinions (even when we didn't like it at times), and his genuine demeanor made us feel we could trust him.
Rick was very knowledgeable and effective in advertising the house. He used all means available to let people know that our house was for sale, and it looked better than ever. Besides the industry standard kind of ways to publish the availability of our house, he used many social media sites, flyers, and even drone footage of the property that made our property look so attractive. In the end our house sold in only one week!
This paid off in more ways than we hoped for. He was always available when we needed him to answer questions, come by the house to give us an opinion on staging the house, or respond to timelines. He was really easy to work with and we never felt he was pursuing more his own than our interests. His communication was direct with genuine caring about us going through this difficult process. In the end all he had anticipated in respect to timelines, selling price, strengths and weaknesses of the property, came true.
As mentioned earlier, we couldn't have hoped for an agent to be more professional, knowledgeable, or caring. We would recommend Rick to anyone who wants to get the best return for their house and have a pleasant experience in the process.
Thank you Rick."

"Working with Rick was an amazing experience as first time home buyers. He was personable and easy to get to know upon introduction. Once we were ready to make the big moves Rick put together our offer in great time, with excellent recommendations on our bid.
He was great about checking in on us through the waiting and closing period and we couldn’t have asked for a better agent than Rick!"

“We had an exceptional experience working with Rick on the sale of our house. He is
knowledgeable, communicative, and attentive to detail. He guided us through the
process and made helpful suggestions along the way, all the while staying in tune with
our vision for the sale. With his expertise and hard work, we received multiple over-
asking offers the first day! We highly recommend Rick for any of your real estate needs.”

“Words can’t do justice the amount of appreciation we have for Rick and how lucky feel that we
found him as our agent. As first-time homebuyers, we couldn’t have asked for a better partner to
navigate us through the process and ultimately help us find our dream home in a crazy market. Rick is extremely knowledgeable and really knows the ins and outs of home construction. In a market where aggressive buyers are waiving inspections, we felt that we had an advantage with Rick being able to point out potential trouble areas during open houses. Also, with a competitive buyer’s market we had really short turnaround times to put offers together and we really appreciated how available Rick was — sometimes on really short notice. He was great at communicating over text and phone calls whenever we needed him. It was a pretty stressful and emotional period for us when we were looking for a house and losing bids along the way. In addition to being an effective agent Rick was also a calming and reassuring presence for us throughout the process — we can’t thank him enough for that. Above everything else Rick is just a good person. We really enjoyed working with him and really trusted him throughout the process. If we ever need to sell our house or if we buy another
house, we will 1000% be calling Rick (and also referring all of our friends and family to him).”

”Where do we even begin as we are still wondering where does he get all that patience
and kindness to answer thousands of questions we asked him. He surely is an amazing
agent, but even more amazing individual. He always communicated the information very
clearly and in timely manner which made this complicated home buying process hassle
free. His guidance and advice helped us buy the right house at the right price. Forever
thankful to him for helping us find a house, we can call home now. In short, we went
looking for a house, but not only did we buy a house but found a well wisher/guide for
lifetime.” - Dee and Parag-

”Rick was absolutely fantastic in helping us with a cross-country home purchase - he has
a calm demeanor and that is so important as the whole process is not easy, especially
not being able to be in MA in person. We spoke on the phone and then scheduled one
week to come to Boston house hunting and Rick agreed to help. He was also willing to
go above and beyond, taking time on the weekend to go to open houses with us,
communicate effectively with sellers; agent and offer his expertise. We found the house
of our dreams during that weekend, but it was great to compare to others. With Rick we
were never under pressure. The whole process went smooth, he answered a LOT of
our text messages, was patient with us first-time home buyers.”

house without him!” - Caitlin and Robert
