Rick is an agent you can count on throughout the entire process. If he doesn't have the answer, he will get it quickly.

Good advice throughout experience. We felt comfortable with him from the beginning. He explained pre listing home improvements, sales competition, and took care of contract needs throughout closing.

Rick was wonderful to deal with. Very personable, took the time to understand what we were looking for. He took us around and showed homes well suited. Being from out of state he was very helpful with everything in a new town new state. He was very helpful when things got stressful during the transaction. He was there for us every step of the way, and still is. Being new to the area he has given us many wonderful recommendations. we will definitely use him again if needed as well as pass his name along to anybody looking for a home.

Dr. Vallis, Columbus GA
I found his name when looking for rentals, called and he sounded reassuring and knowledgeable about the area. I asked him why he was posting an ad for a rental and he said he was "helping a friend out" and that is what sold me. A friend had suggested I try his agent and when I contacted her, she seemed too busy and I knew I wouldn't be her priority, so I went with Rick because I knew he would prioritize me!
I needed a house fast, I needed an exceptionally speedy process and it needed to happen through Christmas and the New Year. This team had to work with all of those time constraints, they were willing to move at the pace that my relocation to Ft. Benning demanded. I put the offer in on 15 December 2018 and I wanted to close on 4 January 2019 and the team delivered, we all sat down at the table together at closing without a single issue.
Great experience!!
