We were so impressed with Rick from the very beginning. When we were still in Colorado, Rick spent time to try to help us find a place(not even knowing if we would actually move to Florida). His commitment to finding us what we wanted was wonderful (a horse property in the Nokomis area). He also has a lot of patience and perseverance because what we actually found unfortunately did not end up being an easy or short process (to absolutely no fault of Rick's). His communication is probably his biggest strength. He is very consistent and always kept us in the loop with every detail, which we really appreciated. By nature, this process can be stressful, but because of Rick's knowledge, professionalism and communication, it went as smooth as it could go. Thank you, Rick! We will continue to recommend your stellar service to others!

Wendy was very helpful In our home search. She set appointments to see homes around my work schedule. And pointed out the little details that I would've missed . I had to move to Florida earlier than expected while my family was still in Ohio. Thanks to her hard work, we found the perfect home for us.

Rick De Barros is such an enjoyable person to work with, his passion and knowledge of real estate is apparent! My husband and I were very specific with what we were looking for, and he was able to help us focus on finding and negotiating on an incredible property. He was very patient and responsive to our questions and facilitated the whole process. I highly recommend Rick, and will definitely consider working with him again.

Rick is by far and away the best agent we have ever dealt with. He was acutely knowledgeable in all facets of our search and transaction and a jewel to work with. Some of his attributes: 1) He said he would be patient and was. 2) Rick put together great searches and screened them for what we were looking for. 3) Rick knew the areas extremely well. 4) He did not pressure us in any way to buy. 5) He offered great advice when weighing our options. 6) His past contractor experience was a HUGE plus in spotting items and offering possible solutions. 7) When we were interested in submitting a contract, his comparables searches were extremely helpful in assisting us with determining a fair price. 8) He never missed or was late to an appointment, and we toured many homes. 9) Rick was pleasant, kind, and thoughtful. 10) He liaised well with the closing agent and was mindful of due dates. 11) He well understood the mechanics of the contract and closing parts of the transaction and he was extremely helpful during the inspection period. He was there for every vendor/inspector we had look at the home. 12) Rick also had a great grasp of CDDs, covenants, and county ordinances. We could not offer any higher recommendation for an agent. Rick's caliber and professionalism is "off the charts."

Rick constantly went above and beyond. There were many challenges that Rick handled personally because I was living in Ky and could not be there. He dealt with pool guys,roof guys,plumbers,exterminators, tile guys and painters-just to mention a few!! He communicated clearly any feed back from prospective buyers and offered constructive ideas. He is someone that I came to consider as a friend. My only regret is that he is not in Ky when I ever decide to buy or sell again. Thank You Larry and Terry Thompson

Rick De Barros went beyond the norm to make sure was presented in the best way possible. Rich helped rearrange furniture, clean, and repair to make the home even more marketable. I would be happy to recommend Rick to anyone. He is very friendly, professional and helpful. Always on top of each phase of the sale.

to whom it may concern. it is not very often one walks away from a home sale with a relationship that garners more respect than mine with rick de barros. he is so much more than a quintessential professional. never have i felt more protected and cared for above the basic home selling process. rick took etra time to explain marketing and contractual process to me but went above and beyond by doing extras like finding contractors to do repairs lawn care to plant trees and he even on many occasions oversaw the entire exchange. i have lived in many places and bought and sold many homes and NEVER have i had as much respect and trust in my agent. rick is the best there is and that is a simple fact. he is not only working hard but he works smart. he is very thorough and honest. i think compassion and integrity are the two most important assets rick brings to the table. i could not have made this huge life transition with out his continual advice support and smarts. i am very grateful also to rick for the advice given to me regarding a future purchase and events surrounding our move that did not need to be balls in his court. rick is a kind and caring individual who never loses touch with the individuality of every home sale. he has more patience than anyone i know even when i was losing mine

I highly recommend Julie Franklin to anyone looking for a professional realtor. n I contacted Julie while living out of state and she began working with me before my arrival in the area. She arranged for showings on homes that I was interested in and I quickly found a place that I loved. Unfortunately, that first home didn't make it through the inspection process. Julie took it in stride and was able to find me another home that I love even more. She did a great job negotiating a price and the other details of the contract and was very responsive to all my questions and concerns. Julie is a professional, she's dependable and she is a pleasure to work with. When I'm ready to make my next move, Julie will be my first call. n Thank you Julie, I love my new home!

Rick and Linda DeBarros came and walked us through the sales process. Analyzed our home and expected sales value. Rick helped us stage our house to make a great sales presentation. He had a professional photographer take the room pictures to perfectlty highlight the special qualities of our house. The video he put online made me want to buy our house. Within an hour of posting online there were over 50 saved views. The house was shown the next day and we had a contract within 48 hours of listing. The remainder of the closing process went quickly with only normal hiccups. I would and will highly recommend Rick DeBarros to all my Florida friends. Great job Rick. thanks

Also helped us during the negotiation process which I consider to be very critical and he is a honest realtor which is hard to find these days. Thank you Fevil for making it possible to get our Dream Home.
