Rich was my realtor when I sold my home in late 2020. It was during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when there were escalating fears, changes in rules, and general uncertainty in the housing market. I couldn’t have asked for a more confident and reassuring professional to have on my side during this time. I felt that Rich really got to know the property and made me feel confident about all of my decisions along the way.  He helped me navigate through my to-do list to make me feel my home was “sale-ready,” and answered all of my questions throughout the process. Rich thought of a way to do an out-of-the-box open house, and it was a huge hit! My house sold for over asking, and exceeded my expectations by a landslide. I’ve since recommended Rich to my family and friends; he’s in a league of his own!

Last year my husband and I were thinking of downsizing from our 2000 sq foot home to something smaller. We had lived in the house for over 30 years and were not familiar with all the steps involved in selling our home. The housing market was crazy and we knew we were in for a ride. Luckily we found Rich to help us navigate the selling and buying process. His expertise in getting our home ready to sell was great! We agreed to a sale price well over our asking price! However, it was not a straightforward process, as our Title V inspection failed. Rich was instrumental in alleviating any concerns the buyers had while making sure they did not walk away, but also negotiating terms that were favorable to us.

When we began our search to find a new home, we were met with limited inventory. Therefore, Rich suggested we rent until we could find what we were looking for because he refused to let us settle for a house we didn't love. We rented for several months before Rich found us the perfect little home. Our offer was one of many and Rich was able to negotiate a purchase price below what we were willing to pay for the home. We could not be happier! Thank you Rich!

When my father turned 93 it was time to sell his beautiful condo in Newburyport so he could move to assisted living. That lifestyle is expensive, so it was critical that his home sell for as much as possible. Rich stepped in and gave my father’s property expert representation in every sense of the term. From the photography, to the marketing, to the open houses, everything was top quality. And of course there were Rich's amazing negotiation skills. We had some challenging buyers who were trying to gain leverage through ruthless tactics, but Rich stood firm and navigated the situation with poise and professionalism. I have to say, we weren’t exactly an easy client because it was myself, my sisters and my father who were involved. Time was ticking and we made sure Rich knew it. Never letting the stress get to him, Rich made sure we were steady and focused, keeping us in the loop throughout the entire process. Today my father lives happily in his new home, with plenty of funding for the future.
