As a first-time home buyer, I couldn’t have asked for a better realtor than Rich. He guided me through the process clearly each step of the way, found properties that perfectly matched what I was looking for, ensured that everything was handled thoroughly and on time, and, when I finally found the one, negotiated a terrific price. He worked hard to make what could have been a stressful experience painless and positive.
