Ricardo Velarde was great to work with as a first time home buyer! He is very knowledgeable about the market and didn’t try to force us to settle as the market was very competitive for single dwelling homes. He always made himself available to me whether it was for the little details, open house tours and the whole financing process day or night. I really appreciate all the hard work and time he spent to make sure I was purchasing the home I wanted and to make sure all the contingencies were met ASAP in order to get my loan approved as well as having the owner accept my offer WITH credit for closing costs(which was incredible!). I am very glad I chose to work with Ricardo and would recommend him to everyone as he will always put his clients first. Thank you Ricardo!

I called Ricardo and needed to sell my condo FAST. He devised a game plan, contracted out the necessary work to get the unit on the marker. AFTER ONE WEEKEND, of open house, we sold the unit for 16,000 OVER, asking price!!!

I have worked with Ricardo for the purchase and sale of my last home. He went above and beyond for my family and I not only while we were looking to buy, but also when we were selling as well. He has excellent knowledge about the market and met our deadline of when we needed to buy and sell our property. There were a few other condos listed at the same time as ours in our complex so I was worried about the competition in the area, but he knew how to list & sell our property in a short amount of time. If you are in the market to buy or sell I highly recommend reaching out to Ricardo! He is highly skilled and once again went above and beyond for us! I will be forever grateful for the time & effort he put in for us.

I had the pleasure of working with Ricardo Velarde during my first home purchase in Temecula. His professionalism, work ethic, and real estate expertise made my home purchase a smooth experience. From the inception of the process, I immediately felt I had the right realtor in my corner! He is a strong communicator, listener who truly takes the time to understand his clients needs. His insights and knowledge helped me solidify critical decisions during a competitive market, addressed all of my questions and eased my concerns. Ricardo did such a phenomenal job putting together my offer that we beat 7 other offers and closed 1-week ahead of schedule! I am so grateful for his expertise, guidance and help in finding my dream home! I look forward to working with Richard in a few years for my second home.

Ricardo is awesome! He worked with me and my wife through the whole experience, beginning to the end. He is a true professional and we couldn’t have picked anyone better! If you’re in need of a realtor Ricardo is your guy!

Can’t tell you enough how awesome Ricardo is. We looked at many houses, and he always gave us an honest opinion. He was not a salesman, or trying to make a quick buck and move on. He is honest, caring and always with a smile. I am forever thankful, and I ended up in a beautiful home! Can’t get better than that!!

Ricardo was SO FANTASTIC to work with. During the escrow process, we ran into a few speedbumps due to our lender's complete lack of a sense of urgency...and thank goodness we had Ricardo on our side! He provided feedback when needed, was never pushy, and went the extra mile when we were feeling nervous or hesitant during the process. I'd recommend Ricardo to anyone looking to purchase a home - I was so grateful to have him in our corner the whole time. He builds rapport quickly and was incredibly easy and reliable to work with. Buying a home? Ricardo is your man!!

Working with Ricardo was an absolute delight. He was an excellent coach, which is SOO necessary in this crazy housing market... and he continually went above and beyond to remove stress from the experience and ensure we stayed on track (despite my lender's best efforts to derail us at every turn). We're absolutely thrilled with the home we bought, and honestly don't think we could have closed without Ricardo looking out for us (and keeping our bank and 3rd party suppliers on task). THANK YOU RICARDO!!!

Ricardo was more than helpful in finding us our first home in San Diego. He was extremely honest, upfront, and was able to find us a great home that fit right in our price range! He was extremely communicative and easy to reach to answer any of our questions at all times. Ricardo made the nightmare that is finding a home in San Diego a breeze! Not to mention we began looking for homes in mid December and closed early February. That almost sounds impossible in today's market, but with Ricardo's negotiation skills, made it possible. I would recommend Ricardo to all my family and friends.

Ricardo was great! He helped us find a perfect home at a very challenging time in the market and helped us negotiate a great deal WITH closing cost credits back! Because of my work schedule I was only able to look at homes on the weekends and he was more than accommodating. He was always enthusiastic and positive throughout the entire process and was available when we had questions. He was able to guide us through the entire purchase and everything went very smoothly. As a first-time home buyer I really could not have asked for a better agent to represent me on this very important mile stone in my life.

Ricardo went above and beyond for our family. Looking for a home in San Diego is tough, but doing it from another state made it even more difficult for us. Ricardo made himself available to us 24/7, was extremely professional and knowledgeable.
