Under constant harassment from our landlady we finally decided to try and buy our first house. Serious recommendations lead us to Richard, and let me say up front, he is remarkable. He worked tirelessly to help us find a home for our family and has continued to help us as we figure out home ownership.

In the beginning, he sat down with us, listened carefully and patiently to our hopes, fears, confusion, and uncertainty, and then helped us start taking those terrifying steps forward. In retrospect, I think Richard knew what we wanted and needed long before we did, but despite that he tirelessly and graciously took us on tour after tour without pushing, being straight with us about each property, and heping along our way to find a home and figure out what was really important to us in a home.

When we found it, he worked some serious magic, got us the home in a competitive Bay Area market, and then did all the closing work for us while we were out of town. After we moved, I figured that was it but Richard goes the distance and then does another lap. He checked in with us, helped hold our seller to a list of promised repairs, and took care of a few minor things that he definitely did not have to deal with. He has answered all our questions about taxes, ownership, pros and cons of solar and the list goes on.

If I had to sell or buy a house again I'd call him in a heartbeat.
