"Rick worked with my wife & I over several years to identify the right regions and property types to meet our lifestyle goals. He's knowledgeable about the market and process, great at bringing quality folks into the home-buying process, and expedient in processing required forms. I've encouraged my soon-to-buy friends to work with him for their first homes. Rick is a great resource." - Mark K.

"Rick and Kara strike again! My husband & I had the pleasure of working with this dynamic duo on the sale of an investment property earlier this year and it was an obvious choice to work with them again now on the buy side. In today’s market and an ever evolving industry, having a team you can trust is the secret to finding your dream home. We knew we had smart & savvy agents representing us, but buying real estate is notably different than the experience of selling, and fortunately these two are pros at both. It was really the way they showed up for us and for each other that made all the difference. We had to strategize, partner, pivot, tag team, and communicate round the clock throughout a very fast paced process that was no doubt stressful for everyone in the face of life’s endless curveballs. Unflinching, Kara & Rick both kept clear heads, coached us with sound advice, and maintained positive outlooks that ultimately got us across the finish line and into our new home. We are so grateful for these two who went above and beyond to make it all happen in a relatively short time frame. From arranging private showings to rearranging personal schedules to be by our side, these two know what it takes to make it happen. Anyone would be lucky to go thru this process with someone as compassionate as Kara and as charming as Rick, together they make the home buying process approachable, understandable, and fun! " - Val and Justin C.

"Kara and Rick were so incredibly helpful throughout the process of purchasing our new home. They are outstanding and we highly recommend working with them to anyone! They made the process of buying a house seamless, smooth, and stress-free for us as first-time home buyers in a situation with multiple offers. They took time to clearly educate us on the process and explain all the details. They are very detail-oriented and excellent communicators. They were available to answer our questions at almost any time of the day/week and helped coach us through the process, ensuring documents were properly filed on time. They were flexible on times to meet. They also have very warm personalities and were a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much Kara and Rick for making this process a breeze and being wonderful professionals and human beings! " - Gabrielle R.

"Kara and Rick were absolutely amazing to work with. Being a first-time homebuyer in a competitive market was a bit overwhelming. But they were incredible, walking us through every step of the process. They guided us in negotiations and helped us craft an offer that was accepted. They made the home buying process easy. They are kind and intelligent communicators and we knew we were supported through it all. We are now happily living in our dream location, thanks to Kara and Rick! " - Amanda P.
