I engaged Brent Rice to sell my Garland home in late 2020. I live 1300 miles away from Garland, so having an attentive representative who loved details and communicated promptly was essential. Mr. Rice never missed a beat, and typically provided information in advance of my even having asked the question. Mr. Rice thoroughly documented several options for how to list and move the property. Thanks to him, the path that I ultimately chose felt like an informed decision that was my own and based on facts, rather than on any realtor’s bias. Most other realtors I interviewed seemed dismissive of my solid, yet not luxurious property, but not Mr. Rice. He gave my home a level of advocacy far above what I expected. He found a buyer quickly, organized an efficient and speedy settlement, and was even at the closing to ensure that I was promptly paid. I give Brent Rice my highest recommendation. WK

Brent and JoAnn Rice are some of the most dedicated, and genuine people I have ever had the pleasure to partner with. Brent represented me through the purchasing and selling process. His knowledge of real estate is second to none and shows his long career in the industry. Any rating system falls flat showing the level at which this team performs to get you results. I cannot express enough how amazing my experience has been. I consulted with Brent during every step of the process. He is mindful to let you make the decision but will give his professional opinion to help guide you. This opinion is informed by decades of experience. Every single decision has worked out better than I hoped. Brent is a master negotiator. The process was simple and hassle free, and still landed us the best outcome from both deals. This skill means you will not be leaving money on the table. JoAnn is an absolute sweetheart and wonderful to work with. She staged our property turning it from a very plain house, to a very cozy home. Brent and JoAnn treat every client equally, with the utmost respect and kindness. This goes a long way and shows in every interaction. This is THE team to work with.

We couldn't be happier. Brent was able to position our house for a quick sale and deftly led us through negotiations with the buyer. Even more surprising was what he was able to do for us on the buy side. In the past we had bought houses (new construction) without an agent, as a lawyer and a business executive we figured we had it covered. Brent was able to identify opportunities to negotiate a better price and he alerted us to several opportunities and potential issues throughout the build and closing process. We had no idea what we were missing and would enthusiastically hire him again.

Brent Rice has been our agent for years and has always provided the best service. At times though we make regretful decisions as we did and went to another agent for our most recent house purchase. We learned our lesson the hard way and went right back to Brent in less than a week. As always, he and his lovely wife JoAnn were so very gracious and provided the same excellent service in helping us find the right home at the right price. Brent also helped negotiate a generous amount with the sellers for the repairs in the house which was way more than what we hoped for and a really good deal on the home warranty contract. Moral of the story - when you know the best, leave behind the rest!!

I highly recommend Brent Rice when searching for your next home! I was a first time home buyer and knew very little about the home buying process and market trends at the time. I decided to choose Brent because he seemed extremely knowledgeable of the real estate market. His knowledge came through during our initial walk throughs; he would point out items to look for beyond aesthetics, items related to safety, structural integrity, etc., that many young, first time home buyers may not be aware of. Also of importance, I decided to choose Brent because after our first meeting I got the sense that he would find the best house for me, rather than sugar coat every house in order to make a quick sale. He was definitely very patient with me. I was a picky and nervous client, and also a skeptical client. It took me a while to understand the market trends and accept the market trends, but he was very patient through it all. I searched for months and asked several questions along the way. He was available via text or phone call at all hours and was willing to show me house after house. He was right on target with what it would take to win my house, and did a great job setting up a robust offer and negotiating on my behalf. Now, I’m happily settled into my new home!

JoAnn and Brent Rice are simply amazing! I have never sold a home before and they were there every step of the way to explain my options and were quick to respond when I had questions and concerns. They went above and beyond to get me top dollar! I could not have found a better duo! Thank you both for everything you have done and for sure will use you in the future!

Working with Brent was wonderful!! When I called, he always tried to set up a showing as soon as possible. When we walked into houses, he immediately started pointing out cracks and other items that we needed to take into account. When we put in contracts on several different houses, he was helpful and wise. When we got in a bidding war, he held our hand and advised us. (We got the house!) He set us up with an inspector and helped us ask for money to fix certain items. From day one, his service was outstanding!

When I contacted Brent Rice to help me find a rental home I was at the end of my rope. I had tried for several months to find a house on my own and realized that I couldn’t do it on my own. I needed someone who knows the ins and outs of this business. I called Brent saying, “help! I have one week to find a home and move! Can you help me?” A house I had been approved for and waiting on for over 60 days did not pan out and I was at the end of my notice period where I was. Brent said, “I’ll send you a list of the docs we need to get this done, get them to me asap.” Brent the same day got me a list of houses (based on my preferences) to choose from. Brent took all my documents and set them up so electronically so that he could submit them on the spot if we found something we wanted. He dropped everything to spend the next day day with me to view the 8 or 9 houses I had selected to go see, after which he helped me get two applications sent for the ones I thought were the best for us. He got us approved for both in a day and we got to choose the best one. We moved by our deadline. Everything went as smooth as silk, if there were any hitches…I wasn’t aware of them (smiling). Brent is a knowledgeable realtor and dedicated to getting the deal done with seemingly no hitches. I was so relieved! Thank you Brent Rice!

Working with Brent was a great experience! He is extremely knowledgeable, professional and kind. I am a first time home buyer, Brent was patient and explained everything to me. It was clear to me that Brent had my best interest in mind and was working to get me the best deal/home. Brent thoughtfully made suggestions on how to proceed but always made it clear that the decisions were mine to make. His approach with the seller produced a financially beneficial outcome. In addition, Brent provided great insight into the area, what to look for in a home and programs that were available to assist me in the purchase. I would highly recommend Brent to anyone who is looking to buy a home.
