    Rick was amazing to work with! He not only took us on last minute but found us an amazing home within our deadline! He spent countless days and nights showing us homes and really looking at the homes to make sure it was something that would fit our family. If we couldn’t make an appointment for our current home he went above and beyond and went to the appointment and FaceTimed us so we could still be involved and not reschedule. He was great with follow up emails/texts between everyone involved and giving recommendations for appointments with our inspector and estimates needed. He made every walkthrough, meeting and our closing like we were sitting there with a friend. I would hands down recommend Rick to anyone looking for a home!
