Thank You Rick for your assistance with buying our home. We appreciated your vast knowledge of the market and all of your work to make our home buying a positive experience. We felt we had the best realtor in Lexington, guiding us through the process!
Rick and Kim Zander worked with us to search for a new home. We had a particular location in mind and specific needs for the new home. Rick set up a search for us and accompanied us to numerous showings at homes we thought might work. Through this search, we found the perfect house. Rick and Kim were our agents on the purchase and we encountered no problems. The Zanders also were our agents to sell our townhouse. In a market with high interest rates, they brought up some creative ideas to assist us in finding the right buyer at the right price. Not only are they great at their job but they are wonderful people. They are very responsive to any concerns or questions and extremely helpful during the offer process. We highly recommend them for your real estate sale and purchase.
During a sunny afternoon of "casually considering moving out of our rental" while touring a local open house, we were referred to Rick Zander and, from the start, were extremely pleased with his professionalism, panache, and performance. He confidently steered us through the entire process of house hunting to purchase in this seemingly chaotic, ludicrously expensive market. Like anyone, we had needs and wants and ultimately found a home that ticked the right boxes. Thankfully, we didn't have to look long and Rick was instrumental in fine-tuning our search. Less time wasted. He was available to show as many homes as we wanted (within reason and within our budget), answer all manner of questions (willing to elucidate on anything we didn't understand), take virtual or in-person meetings, offered up practical information/advice, provided useful "what to expect next" steps, and helped with finding skillful inspectors and repair-persons (as needed). While stressful, Rick (and Kim - thank you for the move-in basket, it was lifesaving the first 2 days) made the process of negotiating and buying our new home as streamlined as possible. Short of literally scheduling our movers, packing our things, and transferring our utilities, Rick shouldered the bulk of the tedious and painstaking materials related to negotiating, financing, scheduling, viewings, inspections, etc. For anyone entertaining the idea of buying a house, I highly recommend Rick. As a sidebar, to make things easier for yourself, I urge you to be as responsive, transparent, and flexible as possible with your realtor, brokers/lenders, etc. as they are for you. Makes what seems like a delicate ecosystem of buying a home far more efficient if you do.
To say we were particular in choosing our next home would be an understatement. In all of our “pickiness” both Rick & Kim always made us feel comfortable to take our time and the right house would come to us. They both also have a vast knowledge of real estate and are very good at helping their buyers understand all of the ins and outs. They made the process seamless and will go the extra mile for their clients!
Rick Zander did a great job for us on the purchase of this home! He went above and beyond to help us through the process and did a lot of support while we were out of town as well!
Moving to Lexington from Chicago was tough for my wife and I. Limited inventory, up against highly competitive offers and we were unfamiliar with the area. Because of Rick, we found success. He exceeded our expectations as a realtor. His passion and knowledge for the market, in addition to the time spent with us made our experience great. The Zander team is the best real estate company I have ever dealt with. Very professional, experienced and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
I would highly recommend Rick and The Brokerage Team as the go to for all of your real estate needs. Rick and team are knowledgeable, professional, responsive, and most importantly skilled in negotiations. Rick helped us negotiate the purchase price of our home for 6% below asking price with a contingent offer during a time when houses were going for at or above asking with guaranteed offers. I would give Rick 6 stars if I could.
Working with Rick was the best experience I've had in purchasing a home. He helped vet properties for me to view, was readily available to get a showing, and gave honest feedback for each one. Not only did Rick help with finding properties, but his recommendations on financing and contractors for repairs were world-class. When it came time to negotiate, Rick stood his ground where we agreed was fair, and made me feel he was representing my best interest. Rick went above and beyond, meeting with a couple contractors on-site when I was unavailable to. If you're in the market for an investment property, a forever home, a fixer-upper, or somewhere in-between, I would recommend giving Rick a call!
If you need a realtor who is knowledgeable, helpful, reliable, and above everything, genuinely loves what they do and want the best for their clients, then Rick Zander with the Zander Team at the Brokerage is the way to go.
Rick was instrumental in helping me purchase my first home. Within 4 days of beginning the search, i was able to submit an offer that ended up getting accepted. Even after having my offer accepted, Rick helped me through the inspection, appraisal, and loan processes, all the way up until my closing day. During this short and extremely effective process, Rick was proactive in helping me find a home that fit my specific needs and budget. He was always quick to respond and communicated with me at all hours of the day if something came up that I needed to jump on quickly. I would recommend anyone looking for a home to consult Rick to make the home buying process as easy as it could possibly be.
Rick and Kim are hardest working duo and treated us like family. They took care of us in every step and went above a beyond. We are so thankful for all the late night they spent answering questions, listing our home, and presenting us multiple offers! Thank you Rick and Kim #TeamZander
