I was referred to Rick as I live out of state and he was selling a Wisconsin lake property for our family. From the moment we spoke I could tell he was passionate and professional about his work. He has extensive experience and marketed and staged our property to the fullest. We had several offers in the first week and the property closed quickly.
Rick was very easy to communicate with. I was impressed with his expertise and would absolutely give him the highest recommendation.
Thank you, Rick!...

We had an accepted offer at full listing price in 3 days. Our agent, Rick Ernst, has exceptional marketing and client service skills. He kept us informed throughout the entire process. We were able to close in 30 days without any issues. We highly recommend Rick Ernst for any of your real-estate needs. Thanks again Rick!...

Rick jumped in when I didn't want to deal with an unethical buying agent. He was straight forward about issues with duel agency stating his first priority was in the interest of the seller. He did his best to act as a buying agent I and appreciated his efforts. I would recommend Rick and the Century 21 agents and staff in Manitowish Waters....
