What do Clients Say?

I couldn't be happier with the outstanding service I received from Rich throughout the entire home buying process. From the moment I met him, it was clear that he was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the market but also genuinely invested in helping me find the perfect home. His dedication and responsiveness are truly remarkable. He is always just a call or text away, ready to answer any questions or address any concerns I had. He takes the time to listen to our preferences and requirements, ensuring that the properties they showed me were aligned with my needs. He also really spoke up for us and looked out for our best interests -- asking questions at showings we never would have thought of as first time home buyers. What really impressed me was his attention to detail during property viewings. He pointed out features I might have overlooked and was transparent about both the strengths and potential considerations of each property. His honesty was refreshing and gave me confidence in his commitment to finding the best fit for me. He also advocated for our interests with enthusiasm and professionalism. He kept me informed at every step of the negotiation process, making sure I was comfortable with the decisions being made. Even after we found a home, he continued to provide valuable assistance. He offered to connect us with local service providers and contractors, making our transition seamless. In short, Rich's dedication, expertise, and personalized approach made the home buying process an enjoyable and stress-free experience. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of a realtor who goes above and beyond to ensure their clients' satisfaction. There's a reason he's #1 at his agency!!

Can't say enough about how amazing Rich was! He walked me through the entire process and made it easy to understand. He was also very involved in the process, from assisting me in finding lenders, attorneys, and programs that would benefit me. I don't think anyone can match the level of expertise in realty that he has! I have already recommended him to all my friends looking to buy!

Rich is a great Realtor and human. He is very knowledgeable, very well-informed about Boston's market, very patient, always available, and fast. He helped us buy our first home and given our minimal knowledge about the whole process, he was extremely helpful. Instead of pushing us to make a decision, he helped us to explore as much as we felt is needed to check our options and be comfortable to make a decision and find the home which we bought. During the process, which took almost six months, he was very patient with us, and more importantly, he was always available to talk to us or help us in checking out anything which we found even slightly interesting. Given that he never tried to push us to make an offer, we could completely trust him and his judgment positive or negative toward any of the options we considered since we felt that he is considering our long-term benefit in buying a home and not just finishing the process.

Rich is a fantastic and responsive Realtor. Rich was my buyer agent for my condo 8 years ago and recently recruited to be my seller agent. Rich walked me through the process of selling and scheduled all appts. My condo was sold in 6 days! I highly recommend Rich. He knows real estate and will guide you in the right direction. He also has great lawyers and mortgage folks he recommends. Seamless sell.

Rich was my agent when I bought my condo 4 years ago, and when we decided to sell there was no doubt in my mind that we would work with him again. He has an accurate pulse on the Boston market and is very knowledgeable about every step in the process. He was almost always a step ahead of our questions, but when we did need him he was incredibly responsive. We were juggling two transactions at once (selling + buying) and his diligence made the process seamless. All of this, even in the middle of a pandemic! Five stars all around and I would (and already do!) absolutely recommend working with Rich.
