Rick is by far and away the best agent we have ever dealt with

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

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.

Rick and Linda DeBarros came and walked us through the sales process

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

NEVER have i had as much respect and trust in my agent.

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

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!

We are Florida newcomers who did not know a lot about the market in Florida

We are Florida newcomers who did not know a lot about the market in Florida. Joe made sure we were well informed about the Sarasota area and living in Florida. He drove us around the area, showing us various neighborhood locations and home styles and pointed out great restaurants, shopping areas, and other local attractions. He showed us a ton of houses so that we could get a feel for the area and was always patient and kind while guiding us in choosing our home. We highly recommend Joe for both newcomers and natives of Florida!!

I would highly recommend Wendy Lynn

I would highly recommend Wendy Lynn. She is hardworking, efficient, patient and helpful. We had planned to move to the Sarasota area for 2 years. In April 2016, six months before our planned move we were going to be in the area for vacation. We contacted Wendy and explained that we would be moving here in 2016 and we would like to look at a few homes so that she may understand what we were looking for and possibly find the perfect home. Unfortunately we did not find a home but Wendy now knew our tastes and how much work we were willing to do. We came back in July and looked in earnest. Wendy lined up 11 homes the first day and we went back to see 3 a second time a few days later. During those interim a home we had asked to see the first day but had been taken off the market came back on. Wendy found it and asked if we wanted to see it. We bought it that afternoon!! If it hadn't been for Wendy's hard work, we may not have found our PERFECT home.

When we put our home on the market we went with...

When we put our home on the market we went with Cheryl Belknap by referral from a family member. Meeting Cheryl for the first time was very comforting as her demeanor, was both professional and friendly which made us feel comfortable and it made our decision easy to sign a contract with her immediately. Cheryl worked diligently with us, in preparing our home by pointing out whatever she saw that would either help or was detrimental to selling our home. She hired a professional photographer to enhance our chances of a quick sale, and stayed in constant communication with us throughout the whole process from beginning to end. Our home sold within a very short period and Cheryl has not only been reliable, and trustworthy but I would consider her a friend. Should we ever need the services of a Realtor again, I would without a doubt call Cheryl Belknap. riend.
