"Rich went above and beyond helping us purchase our Siesta Key condo! He and his assistant not only gave us the names of their personal painters and electricians, they became personally invested in us acquiring a dream property. We give this realtor our highest recommendations!"

★★★★★
"I have used several friends who were brokers to sell my previous homes and they did a great job. I met Rich who was referred to me by a friend. I had interviewed two other realtors and hands down Rich was by far the most professional. He had formulated an approach that was excellent. I sold my house for top dollar and he and his team far exceeded my expectations! I then used Rich and his team to hep me find the house that i wanted. I had a specific set of requirements and a budget that i wanted to stay in. Rich found the perfect home, moderately d and with a pool. He negotiated for me during the whole process ad once again exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend him and his team"
