Ricardo Rozada

Ricardo has supported my wife and I with the purchase and sale of multiple properties over the past five years including our principle residence as well as multiple investment properties. Ricardo takes a strategic approach to the sales process by assessing and recommending on how best to position, price and market each property. He takes the same strategic planning approach with the purchase process. He is knowledgeable about the local Washington DC real estate market which informs his recommended approach. When it comes to negotiations, he approaches them in a careful manner always thinking two or three steps ahead with a focus on the targeted outcome and working backwards from there. Just as important, he accepts feedback and participation from the client, making the process collaborative if you want to be more involved, which my wife and I tend to be when it comes to real estate transactions. Beyond exceeding in all the core skillsets that one requires of a real estate agent, Ricardo goes beyond the pale on his service delivery. More than a few times we needed an estimate or complete a repair to get a deal done. Ricardo helped us get the quotes, met with the contractors when my wife or I couldn’t get be there or just made sure that the appropriate work that needed to be done, got done for the deal to close on time without issues. We have worked with a fair share of real estate agents over the years and we always recommended Ricardo to friends and family. Ricardo is our go to real estate person. Would highly recommend him to anyone that needs to buy or sell a property in the DC area.

I was very fortunate to work with Ricardo several years ago. As a first time homebuyer with little to no knowledge of the real estate market, I was nervous about getting the huge decision to purchase a home, yet Ricardo was great at helping me understand in layman's terms what to expect, what my options where and what my buying potential was. He also patiently explained each line time in my loan documents, and tirelessly showed me properties in the DC area. When I did eventually come across what would be my future house, he helped me envision the potential not only in the house but the neighborhood, which I had difficulty seeing at first. It was some of the best advice I ever got. Ten years later, I own a house in one of DC's most coveted neighborhoods, within the walking distance from the Nationals stadium, the soon to be DC United soccer stadium, and what promises to be one of the biggest real estate developments in the city, the Wharf. Not to mention my house has appraised $150k since we purchased it. Ricardo is hard working, honest and offers great advice. I trust his opinion, and look forward to working with him again when I eventually decide to purchase a new home.
