Rick Hughes, PA, Realtor®

Rick priced my house so well according to the market that I had a contract in less than a week. He was courteous, professional and negotiated every last detail to facilitate a quick closing with no issues. I was able to trust Rick with everything that needed to be handled so that I didn't have to worry. I appreciate his attention to detail and strong business acumen for the market in my area. I would highly recommend him to anyone in need to a long-standing residential Realtor.

I have known Rick for several years and have known his attention to detail. When I listed my home with him I took a chance since he had been working somewhere else prior to that. My experience with Rick was unbelievably fantastic. He actually came on his own time and cleaned the front of the bldg. to make it more appealing. Rick's due diligence showed me his knowledge and expertise because I received two offers within 24 hours. Since then, he sold the neighbor's condo as well within two days. He then found me my new home and absolutely love it. There are plenty of realtors in Sarasota but if you really want one that knows what they are doing and do the job beyond expectations, then call Rick. This is not a sales job, this is the reality of the situation. I wanted the house sold and it was DONE.

Without Rick’s expertise, insight and patience we might still be looking, instead of settling in.  Worse yet, we might have made poor decisions or a hasty purchase along the way.We started working with Rick in February of 2017, with limited time available due to our employment and our remote location in Chicago.  With Rick’s guidance we quickly narrowed our search to new construction in Lakewood Ranch.  Within a couple of months we had placed a deposit on a 3 bedroom single family home in Harmony Reserve and put our Chicago house on the market. Rick was indispensable in advising us regarding our options and serving as a sounding board about negotiating strategies most likely to succeed.  We appreciated and took advantage of his wealth of knowledge and unlimited willingness to help.I would unhesitatingly recommend Rick to friends and colleagues who are interested in learning about the area and the local housing market.  We now value Rick as a friend.
