We were very happy with Rick. He was really knowledgeable about the area and helped us in negotiating the best price for the house we purchased. I would highly recommend anyone looking to purchase a house in the area to contact him first.

We’ve worked with Rick to buy multiple properties and to sell this one. He is everything you’d want in an agent. Knowledgeable and responsive are 2 key traits I look for in an agent and Rick is exceptional in both areas. I also received a marketing report that showed that his marketing strategies out performed 80% of the local market. I would highly recommend choosing Rick to be your agent!

I had never sold a house before and was very anxious about the entire process. Fortunately, a neighbor recommended that I contact Rick Winner to see what he could do. That was Labor Day weekend. I called, expecting to leave a message, and Rick answered. He actually came out on Labor Day to meet with me and get the process rolling. Well, the great service did not stop there. Rick was right on top of every communication I sent and every question and concern that I had. If there was something that needed doing, he got it done. I know he had other clients, but it seemed like I was the only one. Rick did such a great job that, when the sale was completed, I wondered what I was anxious about. If I do sell or buy anything in the future, Rick will be my agent. Thanks Rick.

I highly recommend Rick Winner. He is a very honest and wonderful person.... I and my parents have worked with Rick with the sale of our rental properties in the past. With wonderful results. So when it came time to sale our home. We called Rick again. In 3 days of the listing there was a sale pending. During the time of sale my husband went into heart and kidney failure. I was so lost and upset had no idea what to do. Rick came to the rescue ! Being 6 hours away Rick made sure he kept me in the loop ever step of the sale. Even when he was on vacation and weekends he took the time away from his own family to call /txt to check on us and let us know he was praying for us and keep me posted on everything. I didn't have to worry about anything but staying focused on my husband. Rick handled everything for me and we are very grateful and appreciate everything he has done..... We will be working with him again in the future. Please give him a chance if you are looking for a honest Realtor

I could not recommend Rick more highly. He provided several good recommendations in getting our lot ready for sale to make it more marketable. He helped us establish a reasonable competitive price based on the market conditions. He was instrumental in helping to resolve some title issues that resulted in submission and our acceptance of a full price offer. We are extremely pleased with Rick's professionalism and support throughout the whole sales process

Rick helped us with a purchase that involved an estate that had never been through probate. This we did not realize until trying to close on the date selected. He went above & beyond what the buyer's should do. He also inquired about the property next to our house, that was not even up for sale, so we could combine the properties into one. He answers questions, provides information & is just an excellent agent. I refer him to anyone looking to purchase in this area.

I have used Rick Winner both to sell and buy a house. And no matter whether you’re selling or buying Rick is always very knowledgeable and experienced and has the potential to get the job done quickly and right. He is a really outstanding individual and was very easy to work with through the whole process. Rick communicates very well and made sure everything from the contract to the closing was very clear and executed appropriately and on time. With both selling and buying we were able to stick to all of our dates and close right on schedule. Rick was a pleasure to work with and i would highly recommend him to anyone in the area who needs assistance with any real estate. I actually already have and they were very pleased as well. Thanks Rick!

Rick was the perfect agent for us!!! He came recommended from a friend & worked with us to help us relocate here from another state. We connected with him right away because he’s such a nice guy to be around. We planned an initial visit in Jan, kept looking & staying in touch & a perfect house cake available. Needing additional space, Rick researches & contacted the owner of the lot next door & was able to make that part of our deal! Rick is a great, professional with a caring attitude for all his clients needs. I have already recommended him to people interested in our new area

This is the third time I called Rick to my rescue. He is on top of his game. Everything is managed on line, so distance has not been a problem. Documents are signed on line. He keeps me well informed. He sends emails often about appointment times , especially when the seller is still living in the home. I would call no other realtor! EXCELLENT service. Paperwork is managed and he is able to even help by sending a second time for those of us who misplace things. Spot on with suggestions. Thanks is not enough. I KNOW I AM IN GOOD HANDS.
