Rick did an outstanding job and sold our house the first day it was advertised. He knew the community and guided us on pricing and timing. It was remarkable service in all ways. I highly recommend Rick if you need a realtor.

I could not picture a more helpful person to act on your behalf. Rick was patient when I had questions about buying my first house, and answered every one of them. He never once tried to rush my decisions, and was patient when the process took awhile. He looked at every house I was even remotely interested in without a second thought. He really is the hardest working man in the business! Answered all my calls any time of the day or week, and never once made me feel like an imposition. The best realtor you could ask for!!!

You won't find a better real estate guy. Rick is so responsive, helpful, thorough, pleasant, honest, I could go on. Don't hesitate to call Rick if you're looking for real estate.

Moving from out of state is not an easy task, Ricky made this transition very easy and smooth. We love our new home in Lincolnton and look forward to our new life in NC. Rick is kind, compassionate and fun to view homes with. He listens and is very honest. I will use him to find my next property and tell my friends and family.

It has been a pleasure working with Rick to find and purchase our retirement home in Charlotte, NC. We live in Ohio so buying a home in North Carolina presented some challenges but Rick was always there to help us with any questions or concern we had. He was always willing to take a video of any properties that we were interested in and gave us a detailed and honest description of the properties condition. Rick went above and beyond as our realtor and made the process as easy as possible for my wife and I. One example of going above and beyond is how Rick was able to get us a home warranty as part of the purchase to be paid for by the seller which is something we would have never thought of. My wife and I couldn't have asked for more from a realtor and would definitely use Rick again in the future to buy or sell a property. We would also have no reservations about referring Rick to others that might be looking for a realtor.

I have worked with over 12 realtors over the years , a handfull were quite good , but Rick is heads and tails above any other I have worked with .If he was busy when I called , he got back to me very fast .He soon got a feel for what we wanted ,and searched out those homes. As an out of town buyer , he was quick to seek out answers to any question we had , and he even contacted contractors to get cost estimates for things that we felt need done to the home in question . He is hard working and diligent at what he does . I HIGHLY recommend him.

Rick Carter at Lake Realty could not have been any better at listing and selling my condo. I live out of state, and we literally never met until the day of closing. He handled everything- promptly kept me informed, and made the transaction nearly effortless on my end. I could not have asked for a better experience.

I've worked with a handful of realtors over the years, and Rick has definitely been the best of the lot. He has a comprehensive knowledge of the industry and was very thorough in following up on every last detail. We feel that he always had our best interests in mind and helped us find the best possible home out there for our needs.
