About Me
Richard entered the real estate world in 1997. Since the beginning it has been his goal to provide his clients with a different type of service focusing on meeting and exceeding each client's need. This personalized approach continues to expand and change as does the real estate market.
Buyers and sellers today are far more knowledgeable that they have ever been with access to a multitude of tools to guide them in one of their largest investments. At one time, buyers would seek a recreational property expecting it to serve their purposes for extended periods of time. Today they seek a property that represents not only good value but also a good return on their investment. Most buyers do not expect to stay in the same cottage for many years but plan on owning several cottages, buying and selling to meet the needs at the time. Perhaps the initial purchase is a cottage suitable for a young family in a certain area but as they spend more and more time in Muskoka they find that their needs change. They find themselves once again in the real estate market looking for something different.
Rick's goal is to create lasting relationships - to assist buyers in their constantly changing needs and finding properties that grow with them.
Sellers also expect and deserve personalized service. They need to know that they have listed their property with someone who respects not only the monetary value of the property but also the emotional attachment that they have with their Muskoka retreat. His constant communication with the sellers provides them with information about activity surrounding their own property as well as market information in a timely manner. He takes responsibility to the next level and whenever possible opens the property and makes sure that it is presented for showings to maximize that first impression.
Experience, knowledge, discretion - vital qualities in a successful realtor. Call Richard for all of your Muskoka real estate needs.
