I cannot recommend Brent highly enough. My journey to find a home spanned over three years, and Brent was there every step of the way. We originally started looking during an incredibly competitive market where I was repeatedly outbid, leading me to pause my search for three years. When I was ready to try again recently, Brent didn't miss a beat. One of Brent's greatest strengths is his 'builder’s eye' for property issues. He was able to point out potential red flags, helping me avoid properties that would have been a headache later. What sets Brent apart is his unwavering patience and genuine integrity. We navigated a few hurdles this time around—one lost bid and one contract we had to cancel due to inspection issues—but Brent never pressured me. In fact, during the final negotiations for the home I eventually bought, he actually encouraged me to offer a lower price than I was already willing to pay. His strategy worked, and he saved me a significant amount of money. He consistently put my interests above his own commission, and I couldn't be happier with the result.

As a roofing contractor serving the DFW area, I work with many Realtors throughout the metroplex. When homes are being represented for buyers or sellers and roofing concerns come up, I am often brought in to assist. I can honestly say that working with Brent and JoAnn Rice with Compass has always been an absolute pleasure. I truly appreciate the trust they place in me to help take care of their clients, whether they are representing the buyer, the seller, or sometimes both. They operate at a very high level, communicate quickly, stay proactive throughout the transaction, and consistently put their clients’ needs first. What speaks volumes is how their clients talk about them. I constantly hear positive feedback about how smooth they make the process and how hard they work to protect their clients’ best interests. That kind of reputation does not happen by accident. DFW has no shortage of Realtors. When you find professionals who genuinely care, go above and beyond, and deliver exceptional service every time, that deserves recognition. If you are in the DFW area and need a high level Realtor who knows what they are doing and will work relentlessly to get you the best deal, whether you are buying or selling, I highly recommend Brent and JoAnn Rice. They have absolutely earned this five star review. Terry Placker Owner Semper Shield Roofing & General Contracting

We had a great experience selling our home and buying our new home in Plano with Brent and his team. From start to finish, everything felt well coordinated and easy. Brent connected us with excellent contractors who helped get our home ready to sell and made sure our new place was move-in ready. He also introduced us to a fantastic lender who offered a no-cost rate float-down through closing and a free post-closing refinance, along with a title company that handled everything smoothly with minimal effort on our end. We would work with Brent again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

Brent Rice is a great realtor! I was impressed the first time I worked with him when he sold my mother’s house, so I chose him again to sell our family home. I was just as impressed the second time as I was the first. This time we bought and sold a house with Brent, and he’s still helping us even after-the-fact today. He is extremely professional and knowledgeable about real estate, the home-selling process, and all the little details you would never think of unless you do this every day. He guides you through the process with ease, helps navigate any situations that may arise, and provides sound advice when it’s needed most. His connections are endless and incredibly helpful when selling or buying a home—flooring, windows, roofing, and more. You never know who you may need during the inspection process, and Brent always has the right resources. On a personal level, you will—or will want to—become friends with him. He is personable, approachable, and genuinely helpful in every way.

Brent Rice is an extraordinary realtor. He is incredibly knowledgeable of possible pitfalls in a home's construction. He was sensitive to my needs and desires as he patiently showed me nearly every home in my price range, often more than once. Brent went above and beyond my expectations as he led me through the buying and selling experience. I honestly don't know how, or if, I could have made it though this without the help of Brent and his wife, JoAnn. I am profoundly grateful to have worked with this very special couple

From day one, Brent Rice was absolutely amazing. His experience is unmatched—he can spot potential issues from a mile away and knows exactly what the other party is thinking when it comes to negotiating. His knowledge of the DFW area is deep, and he has trustworthy connections for anything home-related. Whether it’s repairs, inspections, or advice, Brent always has someone reliable ready to help. As a first-time homebuyer with zero experience in real estate, I came in with nothing but an idea. Brent helped turn that idea into a reality and made sure I was educated every step of the way. I truly can’t stress enough how incredible Brent is as an agent. If you want the smoothest, most stress-free home buying experience possible, Brent is the man for the job.

I used Brent Rice for the sale of my mother's home. Not only is he a great real estate agent, very knowledgeable about the industry and great communicator, I felt a great deal of trust in him to help me with decisions that arose during the process. He also helped with issues outside of the real estate realm, (moving and finding a place for a washer/dryer, refrigerator the buyers didn't want) that he certainly didn't have to, but was very willing to help. This was one was a hard one for me, my mother had been in her home for over 20 years and we had to move her into a assisted living facility. I needed/hoped this transaction would be smooth and I picked the right agent for it, from market to close. I very highly recommend Brent Rice, he's not only a great realtor, he's a good, honest person.

Brent and JoAnn Rice, the Rice Group team at Compass Real Estate, are knowledgeable of the industry and professional in every way. I primarily selected them to represent my home for sale as they had lived in the neighborhood since 2000 when the first homes in the subdivision were built. With participation on the board of directors and experience with the schools which their children attended, and with their extensive knowledge of the subdivision, with its different builders and price points, they were better able to showcase, promote, and defend our home than other agents or brokers. But, beyond the advantage of subdivision specific knowledge, Brent and Joann went above and beyond to assure the best outcome in the challenging market during the summer of 2023. They held multiple open houses, always bringing treats and water, followed up on leads and kept me advised of market changes and challenges. As my neighbors as well as agents, they provided many other helpful services (which I won’t list as then every client might expect this “beyond the norm” assistance). Brent handled the contract and negotiations professionally as his many years in the Real Estate business reflect, and offered good advice related to repairs and options. Real estate is a full time job for the Rice team and their upmost concern is good communication and serving their clients to assure a successful outcome.

He answered all my questions with in-depth explanations, ensuring I fully understood what I was doing and why it was necessary. I highly recommend Brent to anyone looking for top-notch real estate services!

My husband and I were first time home sellers. We wanted a realtor that was honest, had integrity and was transparent with their clients. JoAnn and Brent Rice of The Rice Group have those traits in spades. They went out of their way to make us comfortable with the process, keeping us informed at every step of the way. You can trust JoAnn Brent to give you their best service and they really do go above and beyond in working with you. Thank you, JoAnn and Brent, for making the selling of our house seamless!

If you hire the team Brent and JoAnn Rice, you can expect professional service from folks that are local to the Kingsridge Community. As homeowners themselves they understand the homeowner's point of view and have unique insights into all of the advantages associated with Kingsridge. We especially appreciated their great communication skills keeping us aware of who and when someone was visiting our home and following up to get feedback from potential buyers. We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone selling their home, especially in the Plano area.
