"It’s been truly the best service experience my family and I could have ever experienced in a process that can come with so many complications, such as selling, or buying a home. It wouldn't be a question whether or not we would EVER have Rick as our representative to sell our home. He was more than incredible. It's easy to sound like an exaggeration when describing the service provided by Rick and his team. We will keep it simple and say Above and Beyond Excellent. Out of a 5-star rating system Communication: 10 stars, Industry Knowledge: 10 stars, Patience: 10 stars, Follow through: 10 stars. All email communications are precise, simple, easy to follow, easy to read and he is very accessible. Can't thank you enough Rick! From my family to yours a BIG THANK YOU! My recommendation for Rick and his team come at the highest level.”"- Jason

"Selecting a real-estate agent is an important decision. For most of us, that agent will facilitate the largest financial transactions of our lifetimes. We knew several agents including Rick, but Rick landed the job because he presented the most detailed, well informed, and thorough sales presentation. As we came to market, we faced an unexpectedly aggressive downturn in the market, rising interest rates, and a great deal of uncertainty. It was a very challenging situation. Throughout the process Rick kept us up to date, was excellent in his detail-oriented follow up, enumerating the remaining steps, and keeping us apprised of progress and future schedule. He also struck the right balance in assuring that we understood the facts to allow us to make all the incremental decisions along the way. He informed us, he did not decide for us. Rick acted professionally, communicated all things in a timely manner, and we would recommend him without hesitation.” "- Stephen

"We highly recommend working with Rick Trevino after our experience with him buying a house. His personality makes what can be a very stressful process pleasant: he is trustworthy, patient, detail-oriented, knowledgeable and has a sense of humor. He was very patient with us as home buyers who were unfamiliar with the market conditions. He explained the process in advance and what to expect each step of the way: from open houses to bidding to closing. He helped us to strategize a successful approach including engaging with us during a multi-round bidding process to help us land on a wining bid amount. In addition to the logistics of the process, he helped us orient our decisions in a way that both grounded our financial constraints and our emotional connection to the property. Rick had our financial interests at heart and guided us in adjusting our bid up and down while objectively assessing the value of the property. He recognized the fine line between overbidding in a highly competitive market and losing out to higher bidders. He was very responsive to us at all steps of the process, even though our bid needed to be submitted over a Holiday weekend. After the closing he continued to work with us to make sure that all aspects of the transaction were completed to our satisfaction and further helped connect us to vendors to help with repairs. We have referred other buyers and sellers to Rick over the past few years who have all been equally satisfied with their experience." "- Sophia

"My husband and I used Rick Trevino for the sale AND purchase of our homes. When we say Rick is the best, we truly and genuinely mean it. We have worked with other realtors in the past; all were good but Rick surely set the bar! There wasn’t one stone unturned with Rick. He is so thorough it’s amazing. He brought situations to us that we as non-real estate professionals would have not been aware of or familiar with. He created various scenarios to provide us options and he took his time to walk us through the entire process. He goes above and beyond what we would have thought to be beyond his job description. We felt as if he truly cared and wasn’t in it just for the sale. We have and will continue to recommend Rick to everyone and anyone looking to make a real estate transaction!" "- Arleen

"Rick did a simply fantastic job helping us sell our home! From the very first day, he gave us a top-level view of the process to set expectations, offered knowledgeable suggestions without pushing us in one direction or another, and communicated very clearly throughout the process. With well-timed open houses and market research, he followed through on a sale that obtained an absolute top price for our neighborhood in record time. After accepting our top offer, our buyers repeatedly hit administrative roadblocks and tried to delay closing. Rick was firm but fair in keeping the urgency to close high, providing us with updates every single day and being prepared with alternatives in case the buyers fell through. Last but definitely not least, Rick is one of the nicest and most sincere people you'll meet, a real pleasure to work with him. Selling a home a can be difficult and stressful event, but with a professional like Rick, you'll sleep easy knowing it's covered!" "- Will

"Rick did an excellent job helping my mom sell her home. He is very knowledgeable about the market, can offer great suggestions about ways to maximize value that are user-friendly, and for the big improvement jobs, can help to streamline an otherwise overwhelming process by suggesting a variety of vendors and procuring competitive estimates to allow the seller plenty of options. He takes so much off of your plate and makes the process as seamless as he can. We didn’t know where to start and he gave us all the tools we needed to hit the ground running. Additionally, he is very sensitive to your budget and will work with you to improve the things that will give you maximum return without going overboard unnecessarily. He is trustworthy, reliable and a very hard worker. It is worth noting that my mom has some memory issues that impacted her ability to handle all the moving parts that are inevitable in the sale of a home and Rick is uniquely qualified to assist in such a situation, and did so with unexpected diligence, perseverance and care. I cannot overstate this point. Rick went above and beyond to not only take as much of the burden off of her as possible, but did so in such a way that it was clear he genuinely had her welfare at heart. The level of service that he provided was staggering and I cannot thank him enough. When it came to the actual sale of the property, he brought in a handful of highly competitive offers and ultimately got well over the asking price. Rick really delivered in every possible way and I would recommend him as an agent to anyone without hesitation. Thanks for everything, Rick!" "- Erin

"I want to write a message of appreciation to Rick for his help with the sale of my rental property. Due to my age and failing health, physically I could no longer keep up with the badly needed upkeep and maintenance. Many months of sleepless nights ensued. My Son and his wife had their properties bought and sold three times in 7 years span, you guessed it, with RICK. The rest was a piece of cake. From the very first day of speaking with him, I was put at ease. He is calm, has a soothing voice, well informed and confident, courteous and very pleasant. Honestly, I did absolutely nothing. He did all the research, prepared all the necessary documents, arranged for a property view and a photo shoot. I was happy to hear from my tenant that “Rick is very pleasant, and she is happy to work with him”. Throughout this process I was constantly updated with the offers and related matters by email and phone calls. The house was even sold before the realtors open house." "- Tosh

"Rick is an outstanding realtor and we cannot recommend him highly enough. Rick has been fantastic every step of the way. We gave him a very broad mandate of finding us a place.. He helped us see all our potential options and then get to clarity on what we really wanted. He is a very skilled listener and I think he can actually read minds. At no point did we ever feel rushed or pressured, just understood and supported. Rick is also a very skilled negotiator. Once we found the right place we were glad to have him on our side in the negotiations. He paid personal attention to every last detail and looked out for us every step of the way till close. And, he is also simply just a nice, respectful person – so we always felt at ease and enjoyed the process. He is truly an exceptional agent.” "- Yasho

"Rick is an amazing professional and individual through and through. If Rick is not your realtor on the buyer or seller side, then you should highly consider obtaining his services. My husband and I worked with Rick for the sale of our condo AND the purchase of our new family home. I must preface this review by stating the plain fact that I am not an easy person to work with. I can be very demanding, knit-picky, and to make matters worse, during this time I was in my third trimester so multiply my stubbornness times a million. However, I was pleasantly surprised and stunned, that I needed to do almost nothing to ready our condo for sale. Rick had a thorough report detailing exactly what needed to be done to our condo and he kept us informed on a consistent daily basis of when we should strike the market to obtain the highest possible bid. Rick also has an extensive professional network that was absolutely amazing. He had various contacts thus enabling us to choose from high quality providers as we fixed up our home and prepared to list it. We were blown away by his research, knowledge, skill and his tactics. We are eternally grateful that he sold our condo in less than three days of being on the market for the highest possible bid. This enabled us to have a higher purchase price as Rick helped us find our new home. Please keep in mind that at this point, I was now closer to my due date and even more ready to get settled into our new home, or at least demanding that we have a plan in place for proceeding. Again, I cannot emphasize how Rick worked with us on a daily basis, including completing extensive research of homes, pros and cons, and the ability to market us as potential buyers that would give us an edge. Rick replied within the hour or early the next morning to give me a fully informed brief of the pros and cons of the multiple homes I had sent to him. I am talking about full and detailed reports. I have no idea when he had the time to do all of this as I know he is working with and balancing multiple additional clients. Due to his impeccable knowledge and guidance, we were able to secure a contract within one month of selling our own condo. Rick's professionalism and unwavering dedication to his clients is unmatched. Rick has continued to help us throughout the close of our new home. We unfortunately encountered some quite distressing hiccups throughout our close, but Rick remained strong for us and navigated every possible thing that could hit the fan with determination and a no-nonsense mentality which helped me remain calm in the midst of such frustration. We had to make strategy decisions with only a moment’s notice, and Rick expertly guided us through the decision making process at every turn, thus allowing us to maintain our timeline and close on time. My husband and I slept soundly the night our escrow closed and we sincerely owe it all to Rick for his tenacity, diligent work ethic, and superstar qualities. SO, if you are still wondering who to choose as your realtor, you better get moving to getting Rick on your team or else you are missing out on the chance of a lifetime!" "- Natalie

"When I reflect on our most recent experience selling our home, the first word that comes to mind is, wow! If you’re reading this and anything like me, there are few reviews you would sit down and sink your teeth into. For the biggest sale or purchase of your life, choosing a realtor WILL make or break your ability to do either. Let me explain why I’d choose Rick Trevino a million times over after our experience. Prior to purchasing our home, my husband and I looked for 2.5 half years. The market was challenging but so was finding a good realtor. We went through our share of VERY poor realtors and for context, I have now dealt with seven different purchase and sales of property in my life all in different states. Fast forward to this spring and making the challenging decision to sell our home. We had a lot of high expectations for the person who would not only sell our home, but sell it quickly, for the price we thought it was worth, during a pandemic and all while we, the sellers, currently live across the country! When we did the math on what a commission would look like on our sale price, I thought it was entirely too much money given likely one month's worth of work! How in the world could you warrant that commission when all you do is show our house a few times and write up a contract? Let me tell you why, in my opinion, the commission wasn’t enough for all the work Rick did! It was a steep ask and Rick Trevino over delivered in every possible way. We had our house occupied by tenants when we started discussions about the plans to sell with Rick. He not only laid out a very aggressive and detailed timeline for us to start the listing process, we didn’t have to make a single phone call. Rick even creatively suggested we request of our tenants, if willing, that we could begin the inspection process before their move out date. With his mindfulness of our tight timeline, we were able to shave two weeks off of the date to list on the MLS. Anyone trying to sell their home in not only an aggressive market, but one in which there are so many unknowns, can appreciate the importance of getting a two week jump on listing your home. Although we discussed our price point with Rick and he provided us with a thorough market analysis weeks prior to listing our home, he initiated conversations days before we went to market to readjust a higher price point, as he had not only been regularly tracking analytics, but he had also been in contact with other realtors on recently sold homes to understand what the market and those negotiations looked like. There was an incredible amount of work that went on behind the scenes that we never even knew about! From the date our tenants moved out, to the date our home closed escrow, 46 days passed. This meant our home had inspections, he contracted out repairmen to do simple home repairs/upgrades, oversaw the repairs, house cleanings, our home staging, landscaping, photographs/videography, detailed MLS write ups, and then coordinating showings. There were nights we went to bed when he was still working on communications and we woke up to emails he had already sent the next morning (and we have 4 kids so we are early risers)! He did not miss crossing one "t" or dotting one "i" on documents, often catching mistakes on the buyer's agents paperwork that could have, in some instances, cost us time to close on our home. The man does not sleep, does not stop until his work is not only complete but exemplary. As a former Marine, his work ethic and moral compass are unmatched. I have never worked with a more dedicated, upfront, analytical, thorough and comprehensive person in my life. I am a hard sell and not an easy customer in any stretch of the imagination and I’ve never had someone stun me with their ability to keep so many balls in the air while never compromising the quality of his work. In general, working with individuals in Sales is not an enjoyable experience as it traditionally feels disingenuous. I couldn’t have had a more contradictory experience after selling our house with Rick. He is probably one of the most ethical people I’ve ever met, he truly cares about the goals you are trying to reach and the obstacles you face and he’s a HARD worker. Don’t worry about reading another review; Rick is simply the best and you will not find a better man to do business with!” "- Melissa
