If you are looking for an agent that really listens to your needs and goals, will be devoted to your best interests, and is dedicated to exceeding your expectations, I do not believe that you will find any better professional to represent you. As one who has worked in sales for over 20 years, I quickly recognized Rick's positive assumptive-selling approach to handling the sale of our home. It is often said that one selling a home can have a difficult time valuing their property, with the tendency being to set the value too high for reality; emotion and personal attachment to the place one has called home can cloud clear appraisal. Prior to meeting with this dynamic agent, we had an amount in mind which we felt would be the absolute highest amount that we could hope for as an offer. We were already prepared for Rick to talk to us about unrealistic expectations. We were not prepared at all for his response. He proposed setting the price $40K higher than we thought we could possibly get for the property. He could have easily gone with a much lower price based on our expectations and gone for the quick and easy sale, but instead encouraged us to be more aggressive with the price and see what interest we would get. We realized that if we wanted hop of achieving his higher benchmark, this would involve accepting and following through on his advice of how to prepare to show the home; he brought in a home stager for a visit one afternoon. We heeded the input of Rick's team of professionals seriously, and were not disappointed with the results. Needless to say, we were thrilled with receiving such an incredible offer (nearly full price) within just a few days. I think the house only showed for four or five days; our two weeks of preparation more than paid off for our efforts. We were elated.After having spent over two decades in sales, I recognize how hard Rick worked to get that fantastic offer, but the real work began shortly after the home inspection took place. Short story: An egregious issue was discovered and we quickly became concerned about not only losing this sale, but any possible future deal that would get us an acceptable price, let alone anywhere close to great. Rick's negotiating skills, and fierce devotion to his clients, were where he really began to shine. He quickly salvaged the deal, and amazingly, without a significant loss in price. We were once again thankful that we had contracted Rick. But our story does not end here. While one may not be surprised that a salesperson will work so diligently to get a sale, as their income is based on successful sales, here is where I believe that Rick truly shines: After the close of the sale, all commissions had been well-earned and paid in full, we had a couple of unusual issues that popped up. Rick did not stop working just because the sale was done and he fulfilled his obligations ... he continued to help us through the unexpected challenges and handled everything with the upmost professionalism and genuine concern for our needs, and helped find resources and other professionals to meet our unique situation. Thank you to Rick Brown and his entire team of knowledgeable and skillful real-estate specialists. We look forward to working with you again in the future, and have already begun recommending to anyone we encounter that is looking to sell or buy a home.

Rick is an experienced and knowledgeable realtor who exceeds expectations in a very competitive environment. Everything he promised while been interviewed to get our business was accomplished. With the help of his team, our house was sold above the asking price during the first walk-in, and we got paid in less than 45 days in a very smooth closing.

We put Rick through the RINGER with a nearly 6 month process to find our new forever home, 60+ showings and about 8 written offers Rick fought to get us the best deal possible in today’s super competitive market. The attention to detail with our big family and understanding our direct needs with our special needs adults made ALL the difference in not wasting time looking at the wrong properties. His team was phenomenal from assisting with showings to accommodate our time to helping close on our new home in three weeks time frame to get us in before Christmas!! We pray God’s blessings, Favorite and Success over the Rick Brown Home Group in all the days to come!!

Absolutely The Best!Rick Brown is quite possibly the best realtor we’ve ever dealt with. He has been available whenever we felt a need to have someone answer our questions, allay our concerns and basically hold our hands through this entire process. He inspected our home and property and gave us an estimate of what it could possibly sell for and he was right on target. We chose Rick 3 1/2 years ago when we were looking to move to Orlando and wouldn’t even consider anyone else to help us sell this house. He also helped us find our new home. You can’t go wrong choosing Rick Brown to help you with all of your home buying and selling needs.

Excellent service, very responsive and professional. This was a long distance transaction and Rick, plus his team, excelled at making it work for us.. even doing a walk-through with video on a holiday. He was absolutely our eyes and ears, advocating for us and protecting our interests. Absolutely superb!

Dynamo, Trusted RealtorRick Brown was referred to me by my Winston-Salem, North Carolina realtor because he said Rick's record clearly indicated that he had the same drive, charisma, commitment, knowledge, and success that I was accustomed to having in a realtor. He said Rick was his clone and he was right. I could not have been more pleased. I had been left the daunting task of selling the property of a relative without being there in person. From the start, Rick was continually communicative, highly knowledgeable about the market, and strategic. He provided me with a village of professionals that he regularly works with to get the property in top-notch condition and ready to sell. They were all my eyes, ears, and hands, and ultimately, my life-line. After it was listed and shown with one open house, multiple serious offers came in quickly. In just a few days it was SOLD at a price I was very happy with. He has now hit the ground running on a second property I'm selling there in the Orlando area. Rick Brown has not only proven to be a dynamo realtor, he has become a trusted friend.
