Richard Price - Select Group Realty

Rick was extremely helpful with the purchase of our condo. Very professional and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were happy and comfortable at every step.

When I first was referred to Rick, I was pretty frustrated with my prior selection of realtors. The house market was down, and it seemed like each realtor was only able to tell me how many beds/baths were in a home, and how much the sale price was. Now I have done plenty of DIY projects in my life, but I'm certainly no home expert. The target neighborhood we wanted to live in was full of wonderful old homes. So while we were ready to take on an older home's quirks, my wife and I wanted an expert who could tell us more about what we were looking at than was on the MLS info sheet. After Rick learned about what we were shopping for, he suggested we tour a few homes to find out about what we liked the best. It was obvious that he had experience in buying, fixing, owning and selling older homes of his own. He was able to point out things that we never would have seen or thought about, and warned or encouraged us accurately. Sometimes the roof looked older, or the windows were new. Structural, layout, and even the quality of (or lack of!) any remodeling done were items we could discuss to help us determine our interest in the homes we saw. During one tour, Rick even said: "So yeah, I don't think you should buy this house. It's a mess, and not priced very well either." -He was helping us, and also looking out for us! We came across a home that looked vacant, and asked Rick to look into it. He became a detective and found that the house was in a state of disrepair, with out-of-state homeowners that were not sure what to do with it. Through months of delays, negotiations, difficult and slow communication, we were able to come to a deal with the owners to sell it to us at a fair price for both parties! Success! Through a thicket of title-related issues, delays, and random concerns, Rick stayed the course and strongly met each new barrier we encountered. From search, to find, through negotiations and problem-solving, Rick was a patient and knowledgeable expert all along the way. A true advocate for us in our home buying process and not just a salesman. Knowing well your buyer, the homes, and the market where they meet seems to be an art lost on most realtors today. Rick Price understands the process and his profession well, and I cannot recommend him enough.
