I could not have asked for a better real estate agent than Rick De Barros. He stayed on top of the entire process, even doing some of the hands-on interior and exterior work himself. He always returned my calls promptly and if he did not know the answer to a question I had, he would find out and let me know. He is polite, professional, and always has a smile on his face. He always displayed a positive attitude which I found very comforting. I would recommend Rick to anyone who needed a real estate agent without any hesitation.

We had the pleasure of working with Rick De Barros in our home purchase. He was very knowledgeable with the area and communities we were looking in. He was always professional, respectful and trustworthy. We felt he always had our best interest in mind. We would certainly recommend Rick to family and friends.

A great team that showed a lot of care and professionalism!! Rick and Linda did a great job for us!!

Rick knows more about this area than anyone I have met here. If he happens not know something, he finds out promptly. The best real estate I have dealt with ever and I have probably moved 30 times. Dealing with him has made my life easier!!

We would highly recommend Rick De Barros to anyone who wants to sell their house quickly and for the best price.

"Rick De Barros is such an enjoyable person to work with, his passion and knowledge of real estate is apparent! My husband and I were very specific with what we were looking for, and he was able to help us focus on finding and negotiating on an incredible property. He was very patient and responsive to our questions and facilitated the whole process. I highly recommend Rick, and will definitely consider working with him again."

I will absolutely recommend Rick De Barros to anyone looking for a home in this region! I have dealt with many agents/brokers and in my experience Rick is superb. He is patient and works very hard to make sure the client is satisfied. In addition, as newcomers to Florida, Rick provided valuable "local knowledge" to help us get settled in Florida more quickly! If I ever choose to move again, Rick De Barros will be the person I call!

My wife and I have been through the home buying process just earlier this year and this time we were determined to find a realtor that would make this process enjoyable and exciting. Since my first interaction with Rick De Barros I was thoroughly impressed. He did not miss a single item, request big or small. On time and followed through every request and even was able to read in between the lines on some of our requests (differences between my wife and I). A real professional from start to finish. Rick was able to accommodate my wife and us as a younger couple and also my parents who helped through the process. He was able to balance all age groups in my family. I wanted to ensure I had a local expert in the area that could answer all my little questions that add up to make big differences. Rick De Barros was able to answer small questions about matching door handles and large questions like the different types of roofing attachments to help with homeowners insurance premiums. Rick was also able to assist us in reading the land survey and the architectural plans on the house. This guy is the real deal and made the home buying process a real pleasure. The bar has been set very very high by this professional broker for all my future real estate experiences. Thanks Rick !!

"Rick constantly went above and beyond. There were many challenges that Rick handled personally because I was living in Ky and could not be there. He dealt with pool guys, roof guys, plumbers, exterminators, tile guys and painters-just to mention a few!! He communicated clearly any feed back from prospective buyers and offered constructive ideas. He is someone that I came to consider as a friend. My only regret is that he is not in Ky when I ever decide to buy or sell again."

"Rick de Barros and his wife Linda are the best realtors we have ever worked with and we have done many real estate transactions. Their expertise and professionalism are second to none. I would say that integrity and helpfulness are what makes them stand out. You will get the truth along with all the facts that are needed for a quick, profitable sale."

Rick was always very professional and friendly. He’s very knowledgeable and handled all issues very well. His wife Linda, is fabulous too! Very satisfied with Rick. Will definitely recommend to friends!

“Rick De Barros came highly recommended by a good friend of ours that recently purchased a home in the Bradenton/Sarasota area. He had several listings in the area which speaks volumes about the work he does. Rick is a true professional in his approach while having the patience and soft touch too as this is an emotional process and decision as well. Rick and team kept us 110% informed and the attention to details was far above any other realtor that we have ever worked with. Rick truly acted as if this was his own home purchase and walked all the steps with us. Linda is an important player on this team and deserves the credit for helping make this a stronger team. Nothing but positive in this Buyer/Broker relationship. Dave & Gina Bradenton, FL"
