James was a pleasure to work with. He was always available to answer questions and show me properties I was interested in. Being a first time home buyer can be nerve wracking but James made it a very simple and enjoyable experience. I would recommend him to anyone.

When I started to consider selling my house, I noticed that Rick De Barros had recently SOLD 2 other properties on my street. Naturally, once I decided to list my property for sale, Rick De Barros was the first realtor I called and it was the best decision I ever made. Rick De Barros was there from start to finish and always available when I needed him via text or email (no matter how late at night). I couldn't imagine an easier process. Rick worked with me at every turn - from listing price, open houses to private showings and during the negotiating / closing process. We have 2 little ones and Rick was very understanding of our situation. I would without hesitation recommend Rick De Barros to my family and friends if they ever needed an outstanding realtor!

Rick did an amazing job for us. From the beginning, he had a well thought out marketing plan to help position our house properly. His level of professionalism was outstanding from always returning phone calls, following up on every lead to constantly re-evaluating where we stood in the market. He knew the area (the Inlets) inside out. Plus we were amazed at the creative ideas Rick always came up with to help position us. He was there with us 100% of the time and we always felt we had a great partnership. We truly cannot recommend him highly enough.
Rick De Barros
We would highly recommend Rick De Barros to use as your realtor. Rick is very knowledgeable about the Inlets and its surrounding area. As your realtor he will guide you in staging your home as well as letting you know what home improvements should be done for the best possible outcome. He will explain all the stages of selling a home and is always available to answer any questions you may have. Bottom line Rick De Barros will always have your back when selling your home.

My wife and I were out of state buyers for a property in Bradenton, and Julie made the entire process so straightforward and easy. She always made herself available whenever we had one of our (many!) questions, and was a calm and quintessential professional when a hiccup occurred (as they inevitably do) in the buying process. I cannot recommend Julie highly enough to anyone who is buying property in the Sarasota or Bradenton area.

Shopping for a home Can be very stressful. However James made it easy and exciting. His knowledge, tenacity, and persistence proved to be invaluable in finding the right home for us. He took care of everything including all the minute details right up to the closing. He was very attentive and listened to what we had to say and did not pressure us in any way out of our comfort zone. What impresses us the most was that he was easily assessable and responsive to our needs. I Highly recommend James as a Realator...I have never had a better experience in buying a home.

I've worked with many realtors over the years but Rick De Barros outshone all of them in his attention to detail, thoughtfulness about the selling process, staging, and going above and beyond time and again to ensure that the process was a smooth as possible for me. I had previously listed the property for six months with a local broker who did not perform. When Rick took over things began to happen, and within a matter of weeks we had moved to contract. I would strongly recommend Rick to anyone looking for someone to get the job done for them.

Rick's regular flyer, many online testimonials and recommendations from our friends were important factors in our decision to get his help to sell our home. He was very professional right from the beginning and clearly understood our market. His assistance in cosmetic improvements and many open houses resulted in a successful sale. Rick consistently went above and beyond to guide us through the complicated process in a market unfamiliar to us. His, and his wife's, efforts were greatly appreciated and we highly recommend their services.

As a first time home buyer, I felt that Julie made the process so comfortable and easy. She was/is always available if we had any questions about the process. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants an experienced realtor!

Rick is a great guy, he worked around our schedule. When we flew in from out of state to look at properties we hit the ground running so no time was wasted. Rick was part of a huge accomplishment of ours and couldn't have asked for more. We appreciate Rick's time and effort during this process!!

I highly recommend Julie. She was with me through the entire process and even after! Excellent realtor. She really does go the extra mile for you.
