Rick not only helped us find our perfect first purchase, but he negotiated with the Seller's realtor to save us thousands. Being a first time buyer is stressful enough and it is easy to be taken advantage of if you do not have a knowledgable person to help out. He also helped us find a different lender that gave us a much better rate on our loan!!! Rick knew that our number one goal was to get in a neighborhood close to an outstanding school for our son and we are so happy that we can see our A+ school from our kitchen window. He asked us questions, the whys, the hows, the pros, the cons....questions that you do not think of on your own, as it is easy to think that you have this idealistic thought of what you want until somebody who has several years of experience brings new ideas to the table. We spent several weekends searching for our perfect home with Rick and we could not be happier. He's not in it for the commission, he's in it to help you!
