"From day one. Rick answered his phone right away. I was shocked to learn that he was so honest and personable about his business. You simply do not find that anymore. He always made himself available to me and if he didn't answer he always returned my calls. Same with emails. He walked me through the process step by step. I highly reccomend him!"

We were actually able to close 10 days earlier than planned which means start to finish took less than 30 days!! We highly recommend Rick and Brenda. We are officially homeowners thanks to all their hard work!!"
