Exceed expectation! Recommended 100%!

He explained so easy the market ambiance. He was always available to clarify concerns. I felt accompanied in a complex process of selling a house w/o the need to be present. Forecasted different sceneries to be well prepared and had solutions ahead of time. He made the process very easy. He was a “come back”, he sold the house to me around ten years ago, and he was the one that sold the house for me. Recommended? 100%!!!!

Great marketing, communications, support, and followup. Top Shelf Agent and Top Shelf Team!

Richard and his team did a first rate job in marketing and selling our home. We had a few issues to address along the way, but they were always taken care of in an expeditious fashion. Communications were always timely and appropriate. We had good comps to help with setting the appropriate market pricing. This is not the first home that I have bought or sold through the Richard Capps Team. It is hard to make a bad choice in a real estate team/agent when using the Richard Capps Team!

Richard is a master of showcasing properties to highlight their best features.

It was a whirlwind from the time our house went on the market. There was a huge interest in our property, most likely because of the excellent drone photography that showcased all its best features. Within hours of going live, we had interested buyers. Richard was in communication with us multiple times a day, orchestrating the viewings. The house went under contract in six days. My husband and I have bought and sold many properties in our lives, and Richard was by far the best realtor we have ever had in terms of communication and market knowledge.

The best realtor experience I've had.

I was living in Chicago looking for a condo in Florida. Cathy was tuned in from the beginning. From showings to the final walk through she had my back every step of the way and made this a seamless process. I highly recommend Cathy and her team of professionals. And thank you for helping me find the idea Florida home.
