ReviewChoosing Kirsten and Rick Powell was one of the best decisions we made during our home-selling journey. Their expertise, integrity, and dedication are simply unmatched. From start to finish, they were incredibly professional, honest, responsive, and supportive throughout the entire process of selling our home in Meridian. Their marketing was truly top-notch. The photography, video, and overall presentation of our home exceeded anything we could have imagined. They went above and beyond to showcase our property in the best possible way. What really set them apart, though, was how they treated us. We never felt like just another client. They treated us like family, always taking the time to answer questions, provide guidance, and make sure we felt informed and supported every step of the way. The sale of our home came with a few unexpected challenges, and during those rough patches they moved with incredible speed, professionalism, and determination to help us navigate every obstacle. Their support made all the difference, and honestly, we couldn't have gotten through it without them. Not only are they exceptional real estate professionals, they are genuinely amazing people. We are grateful for everything they did for our family and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.

Review Rick and Kirsten are one of a kind agents. From the first point of contact to the close of escrow they were there for us. We lived out of state and they would send us updates and pictures on the progress of our new home. Also, they represented us when needed with the builder. The communication from them is exceptional and the attention to detail is astounding. If you are looking for a real estate team in the Treasure Valley, they should be your first call. You will not be disappointed. If we could give them 100 stars we would.

Review We couldnt recommend The Powell Group enough! My wife and I were first-time homebuyers, and Rick and Kirsten made the entire experience so much easier and less intimidating than we ever expected. From the very beginning, they helped us every step of the way and made sure we always felt comfortable, informed, and confident in the decisions we were making. One thing we really appreciated was their honesty and valuable insight when looking at different properties. They pointed out both the pros and cons of homes and brought attention to things that my wife and I may have never thought to consider on our own. It truly felt like they had our best interests in mind rather than simply trying to get us into a house. Rick and Kirsten were also incredibly patient throughout the entire process and were always willing to answer our questions and guide us when we needed help. As first-time homebuyers, having realtors we could trust made such a huge difference. We genuinely felt like Rick and Kirsten were in our corner 100% of the way. We are so grateful for everything they did for us and couldn't be happier with our experience. If you're looking for knowledgeable, honest, patient, and genuinely caring realtors, we highly recommend The Powell Group, Rick and Kirsten!

Review Rick and Kirsten did a phenomenal job helping us sell our house. The process of selling a home is scary and overwhelming and frustrating. We relied on their deep level of expertise to guide us through these moments, and it was clear to us from the very beginning that they really cared about us in our family. I could not recommend them enough, the honest truth is if you go with anyone else, you will not be getting the same quality and attention to detail that Rick and Kirsten always give their clients. Thank you so much for your Incredible and dedicated help Rick and Kirsten, as our family transitions to our next chapter!

Review Kirsten and Rick at The Powell Group are an amazing real estate team. Their communication and marketing skills are outstanding, and the way they staged my home was exceptional. They truly go above and beyond with open houses and high-quality marketing materials. They are incredibly efficient and sold my house very quickly. Ive been in the real estate business for a long time, and Ive never seen such professionalism and efficiency. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a top-tier real estate experience. Georgia Romero

Review As first-time home buyers, we could not have dreamed of a better team than Kirsten and Rick. From day one, they were incredibly thorough, thoughtful, and knowledgeable, guiding us through every step. Their professionalism is matched only by how personable and genuine they are! Their communication was outstanding; no question was ever too small, and they were always available whenever we needed advice. Their extended team upholds the same high standards, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. Kirsten and Rick also went above and beyond in ways that made this milestone truly special. Even now, they continue to be an amazing resource for all things related to homeownership. We are extremely grateful for everything Kirsten and Rick have done for us and could not recommend them more highly. If youre looking for realtors who combine expertise, heart, and unmatched dedication, look no further than this incredible team.

Review First things first; Richard (Rick) and I have been friends for years. So when it came time to sell my home in Sherman Oaks it was an easy decision. Moving is very stressful. With Rick & Kristen selling your home the stress level is zero. Here is the process. 1) Met with them and did a walkthrough of the condo. Signed some paperwork. 2) Met with them again the day before we moved and gave them the keys. Thats the end of the process. The took care of everything. Almost everyone I know has either sold or purchased a home using Rick and Kirsten. Only call them if you want a team you can trust. (6 star review) T & E Formally of Sherman Oaks, CA

Review Wow, where do I begin... My wife and I had virtually no experience with selling a home and the Powells were highly recommended to me by a few coworkers. With that said, the bar was set pretty high, but we were still extremely impressed as they exceeded all of our expectations. The Powells are very experienced, know the area well, and provided us with great communication on the appropriate steps needed through the entire process. Although we were initially daunted by the task of selling our home, the Powells made it a stress-free experience for us. They never pressured us on anything and were very patient with us. They were extremely responsive and transparent with us. As far as overall results...our home was sold for more than its asking price, on the first weekend of showings, during the slowest time of the year. We wholeheartedly feel the outcome would have been very different without the Powells.

Review I needed a realtor to represent me because I knew that purchasing a home from a family member had the potential to become extremely muddled. I spent a considerable amount of time reading realtor reviews, but Kirsten and Richard Powell stood out from the crowd. Within moments of explaining the family dynamics, I felt completely at ease. They were so responsive, listened patiently, explain the process and assured me they would do everything in their power to be sure the transaction goes smoothly. There was some rough waters to navigate and it was handled with such ease and simplicity, and class! Kirsten and Richard were always available to answer my questions, in fact, they had the answers before I even had questions! I knew exactly what was going on at all times. Throughout the process they made me feel like I was their only client. Everyone says that buying a home is one of the most stressful times in one's life. This was the EASIEST process to go through. The efficiency, professionalism, knowledge, honest and hard work ethic is to be respected and admired. When the need arises again, I will be calling Kirsten and Richard!

Review We hired Richard and Kirsten from a 1000 miles away to sell our mothers home and are so happy we did. They were professional, extremely experienced, data driven and personable! They handled pesky details that would have stalled less experienced agents, making the process smooth and painless for us. They were patient listeners with good advice when we got nervous during COVID hiccups. We would give them 6 stars if we could!

Review We had already moved out of town before we wanted to sell our home. We were so lucky to choose Richard and Kirsten Powell. They took care of everything such as carpet cleaning repainting cleaning out the garage etc. etc. and this during a pandemic. We did not have to do anything but docu sign. Our homes sold in 15 days from beginning to when we had the money in our account. They were also very reasonable to work with in terms of strategizing. They never told us what to decide but always helped us think it through.

Review Richard and Kirsten Powell are truly a powerhouse when it comes to agents to have on your side when going through such a nerve wracking process as selling a house. We started working with them when Corona was a beer! Their careful diligence in pricing our house with great attention to all aspects of what makes a house aEURoeattractiveaEUR? to potential buyers, to the huge effort they put into creating virtual and 360 professionally created tours of our house made the whole process of marketing our house a delight. By the time our house went on market we were living in the middle of a pandemic- they kept their finger on the pulse of the market, and helped us stay hopeful while proposing necessary changes to the price to meet the market slow down. Richard and Kirsten are super organized and extremely responsive. We did not have even one instance of them missing deadlines or not responding with unreal speed to our numerous inquiries. They even helped us a ton with something that on the face of it had nothing to do with the sale of our house: helping us find a rental house in the area we wanted. Richard personally went and visited numerous houses wed found for rent and texted quick assessments that helped us make decisions to avoid the house near a busy intersection or backing to fire hazard areas, etc. Overall, our relationship with them became stronger as the deal closed- we hope to keep their friendship for life! We strongly recommend them to anyone looking for competent top of the line real estate representation!

Review Richard and Kirsten were extremely professional, and very knowledgeable. They navigated the conservatorship process of selling a home, attended court proceedings, worked with the attorneys, and kept the entire sale moving despite the Covid-19 crisis. It was not easy for them as we had several offers fall through because of the Covid scare, drop in financial markets, and scared buyers pulling out. They definitely worked hard to make sure the home sold, through the correct court process, and kept myself, and the buyers happy. The buyers called me the day after the house closed and thanked me for selling the home to them, and thanked me and my realtors for the smoothest home buying experience ever. I could never have done this without realtors that were knowledgeable in the court conservatorship process in California, and also Washington, as we had dual conservatorships. Do not even think of choosing a realtor other than Richard and Kirsten, they exceeded my expectations and their knowledge was phenomenal. Thank you Richard & Kirsten!

My wife and I feel lucky to have been referred to them, as they made the entire process of selling our condo and buying a house as easy and low stress as possible. Every time we had a question or concern, they were on top of it quickly and intelligently.

Review Richard and Kirsten are marketing powerhouses. They had so much pent-up demand for our home by the time it hit the market, we had over 100 groups through it in three days (Fri. - Sun.) and multiple offers within 72 hours - several over asking price. If for nothing else that would be a great reason to use them. However, that was the payoff from them helping us navigate a unique situation that started with me leaving the state for work and the rest of the family needing to get our house ready to move. They patiently and expertly helped my wife prioritize what fixes/upgrades to make prior to listing, gave referrals for certain service providers, and gave advice on staging. They also arranged conference calls to accommodate the distance and different time zones as well as electronic document transfers to keep the process going throughout. We would highly recommend them for any real estate transaction, and only lament not being able to use them next time we move as they're not licensed in

Review Simply awesome! Team Powell (Richard & Kirsten @Powell Fine Homes Group) provided excellent client service with their expertise in the entire process of selling our house. They were more than being attentive and responsive to clients needs and concerns in every detail and were professional in all steps that had to be taken to get the sale accomplished. We would like to express our deep gratitude for Richards support especially during the devastating Woolsey Fire last November. The property was vacant and was in hot spot as well at the time. Richards daily live update coverage on the wildfire situation really put our mind at ease. Overall, we were very impressed with the comprehensive services steering this transaction to a satisfactory conclusion. We will certainly recommend Team Powell without hesitation.

Review 9/20/2018 Richard and Kirsten came highly recommended to us by our lender, to help us find an investment property to purchase. We are more than impressed by their knowledge, diligence, and passion for what they do. We met with them in the late spring, but due to circumstances on our end, we were not able to purchase right away, but that presented no problem for this industrious husband and wife team. In the meantime, they informed us of a landlord's advantages and disadvantages of buying in both Los Angeles and Ventura counties. We decided on the latter, and they happily showed us numerous properties in Ventura county. Once we were ready to buy, within a short time, they located a beautiful townhouse in Thousand Oaks, which is just what we wanted! An offer was written, accepted, escrow closed within 30 days, and we could not be happier! Richard and Kirsten know their business, they are communicative, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Without reservation, we would highly recommend them to serve your real estate needs.

Review I don't even know where to begin with how amazing Richard and Kirsten are. From the minute we met them, they were professional, knowledgeable and had already done their due-diligence on our property that we were ready to sell prior to our first meeting. My wife and I were instantly impressed. They arrived with an entire packet detailing the process of the sale of our home and net sheets to give us a variety of scenarios detailing estimates of our net proceeds. Their communication is bar-none the best we have ever experienced. We received instant text replies, email updates and even personalized video messages when we hit major milestones. They got us 11 very real, solid offers after only 2 hours of a private showing. The truly understood what our needs were as sellers and delivered huge. Selling our home never felt like just a business transaction. They are wonderful people who we can call our friends. If you are thinking about selling your home, look no further. Update: Rick and Kirsten not only sold our home, but helped us immensely on the purchase of our dream home. Having both of them by your side while you survey a new property for purchase is invaluable. They point out any issues that can be easily missed. They sent mailing campaigns and "walk & knocked" neighborhoods that we were interested in. They understand what you are looking for in a home and put a HUGE amount of work in. The listing agent on the home we purchased was pretty bad. Rick & Kirsten handled all the things that could have been very stressful and made it a pleasant experience for us. They got us in a position to be the strongest buyers and we beat out multiple counters, all without being the highest offer. Their communication is incredible, we were always informed during every part of escrow. They really, really care about your family and needs. They don't just want to sell you a home, they want to find you the right home. We cannot recommend them enough. They are outstanding realtors and good people. You won't be disappointed.

Review If you want THE BEST real estate experience EVER call Richard and Kirsten Powell!!! In 2017 we decided to purchase our first home. After speaking to several co-workers they all highly recommended husband and wife team Richard and Kirsten Powell. We met at their office and they spent 2 hours talking to us about what we wanted in our first home. As first time home buyers we had countless questions and they patiently answered every single one of them until we were satisfied. After they had a complete understanding of our dream home they put together an organized list of homes that we began to visit on April 1 (1 year ago today!). For 8 weeks we visited 33 different homes with them until we finally found "the one". Those 8 weeks weren't always easy for us. Everyone told us buying a home (especially the first) is one of the most stressful things you can do. Richard and Kirsten made that process as smooth as possible for us. This particular home was managed by an agent that was "difficult" to say the least. Richard and Kirsten managed this "personality" in a way that shielded us from the challenges that they faced. Richard and Kirsten were always there for us by phone call, text message and email whenever we needed them. Their responses were immediate and on point. We knew we had experienced agents working for us, but they developed into more that just agents. They truly were friends before during AND after the closing on our first home. Here we are 9 months later and they have been readily available to us for lots of big and little situations that came up with the house. The relationship they built with us will last years beyond the purchase of our first home. They truly care about us and want to be there for us whenever we need them. How many agents do you know that will be so engaged with your needs AFTER they collect their commission? We are truly grateful for Richard and Kirsten being there for us throughout the entire process before, during and after the purchase of our dream home. If you're looking for attentive, caring, responsive, professional, thorough, precise and experienced agents please call Richard and Kirsten Powell. You will NOT be disappointed!!!

Review Richard has been my property manager for a few years, and I decided to sell my rental property he has been managing. Richard & Kirsten not only helped me sell the condo before the deadline I was up against, but also it was the easiest experience Ive ever had with selling a property. Richard took care of most of repairs himself during the sale. He negotiated with the Escrow for a discounted Escrow fee for me, which I didnt even ask for, and he resolved every concerns and issues in best way possible. He has orchestrated the transaction so well, I didnt have to do much other than signing papers and wait. It was the easiest thing I could have done. He truly went above and beyond. As long as I work with Richard, I know I'm in good hand.

Review Richard and Kirsten are a phenomenal team who absolutely out their clients best interests first. They aren't there to just sell you a home. They actually care. They were able to juggle both representing us as buyers and sellers at the same time during two complicated escrows. They found and secured our dream home - even when we were 1/8 offers and they sold our house at the price we needed going above and beyond with the buyers to make sure everything went through. We cannot recommend or thank them enough.

Review We have worked with Rick and Kirsten on two properties over the past 11 years, on both the buying and selling end, and they are, hands down, the best realtor team out there. They know the business inside and out, and are there every step of the way, from that first sit-down to handing over the keys. Communication is constant--always quick, efficient and informative. No detail is left uncovered, which is extremely reassuring when selling/buying a home. They don't just go the extra mile--they run the whole marathon! I trust them implicitly, and would not put my real estate needs in any other hands. And to top it off, they are really cool people!

Review What a fantastic experience we had with Richard Powell and Powell fine homes! Richard helped us find our previous home as well so when we started thinking about buying a new place, there was no doubt on who to call. We wanted Richard to take us out and show us what was happening in the market with the plan that we would buy sometime in the next 6-12 months. We had absolutely no plans to fall in love with the 2nd place he showed us! We looked at probably a dozen others, but we kept coming back to the 2nd one. It had almost everything we had wanted, plus some bonuses (like an amazing tropical backyard!) Richard never pressured us in any way, but always was there for great advice and recommendations. Before we knew it, we had made an offer and it was accepted! Richard made the process so smooth and easy that it almost felt like something was wrong! He was there day and night for our many questions and even after we closed the deal and had the keys, he has still been here for us for advice and follow up. He will always be here for us and has been both a friend and the utmost professional in all aspects of this important life experience. We have now been in our house for 2 months and could not be happier. I would HIGHLY recommend Richard Powell and Powell Fine homes to anyone looking for a professional, experienced, honest and genuine realtor. Thanks Richard! Glenn Noyes and Toby Willis

Review A top notch realtor We had heard good things about Richard Powell of Aviara Real Estate (www.powellfinehomes.com) and he exceeded our expectations in assisting us with the purchase of a second home in Thousand Oaks. Richard is extremely professional, smart, knowledgeable, upright, serious in his work but fun in spirit. He truly listened to us and understood what we wanted (and knew what we wanted when WE weren't sure what we wanted!). Taking care of details and being on top of each step is something he excels in; he is accurate and thorough. He has a good rapport with mortgage lenders, other realtors, escrow officers, etc. I appreciated how he made himself available for all aspects of the search and escrow process, taking my numerous calls, answering questions, giving wise advice, arranging his time around our limited time. This was especially helpful since we live in Northern California. Our purchase went smoothly and we are very satisfied. Work with this broker!

Review Let's just start with the bottom line: If you are at all interested in purchasing a home, just go ahead and call Richard Powell right now. You won't regret it and it is simply the best decision you can make as you begin the process of buying (or selling, I imagine!) a home. Following an incredibly long and less than satisfactory experience with another realtor, we were desperate to find new representation. Fortunately, we found Richard here on Yelp, read through all of his 5-star reviews, and gave him a call right away. We met with him for the first time a few days later and we knew instantly that we were in good hands. Richard's goal is not simply to sell you a home but rather to build a long-term trust and friendship with you. He acts as your partner and will work tirelessly to find the home that is right for you no matter how long it takes. You will not hear typical real estate agent comments or questions like "So, can you see yourself living here?" or "So, did you want to make an offer?" from Richard. Instead, he will honestly evaluate each property with you as if he were the buyer, letting you know the pros and cons of each, and what the potential advantages or challenges would be when reselling down the line. The detailed observations Richard made each time we looked at a property amazed us and, to be honest, we probably would have ended up buying a less than ideal place if he had not been there alongside us. Richard made us feel like we were his only clients (although I know that was not the case; he was actually working on closing a much larger sale at the same time, but you'd never know it from the way he treated us and the time he made to take care of us). We spent many weekends over a few months out looking at various properties and there were several times when he picked me up at work during the week to show me some new places that had just come on the market. Richard was always willing to show us any place that we were interested in seeing, even if he knew that they wouldn't be right for us (he was ALWAYS right about that too). He was always incredibly responsive and available, whether via text, email, or telephone call. As I mentioned, Richard is most interested in building a long-term relationship with you, one that extends beyond the sale. I remember him saying several times, "Just because I got a check doesn't mean we're done. If you need anything, just call me." We kept this in mind and Richard was absolutely there to assist us with a few issues that came up as we were settling into our new home. He also referred us to a couple of contractors that he uses for his own properties as we prepared to move in (we chose to repaint and to redo the flooring and carpeting) and he made sure that we were well taken care of. He even connected us with his washer/dryer repair person and his plumber, both of whom came all the way out to our new place to help, even though it was far outside of their normal areas of operation. I should have written this review many months ago, as we actually closed on our home back in August 2014, but I am glad I waited as I was able to include these post-sale experiences with Richard, which, while they may not seem like much, were incredibly helpful to us. To close this review, I will leave you with this: When it is time for us to start looking for a new place, our first call will be to Richard Powell.

Review Richard and Kirsten not only helped us find our current home in Conejo Valley but were instrumental in getting our previous home rented quickly and efficiently. They both took the time to really get to know us - our likes and dislikes, our wants and our needs. Rick was always available and I could count on a return phone call within minutes. We decided to relocate from Woodland Hills to the Oak Park area due to our kids' school location. Not knowing the area we turned to Rick and Kirsten because of their expertise with this type of relocation. They showed us at least a dozen properties in our price range and we're always present and involved with our search. When we finally decided on our home we did so with the confidence of knowing that our Realtor had performed due diligence, making sure that we were receiving value for our money. In terms of our rental property, Rick, using state of the art technology and proven marketing techniques, presented our home in the way it deserved. We have always taken pride in our home and his work made it show. We had a suitable renter, at a price that was completely acceptable, within a week. We will certainly seek Rick and Kirsten's services for our next real estate transaction.

Review Dear Richard and Kirsten, We want to personally thank both of you for your guidance and expertise in the purchase of my first Investment Property. Right from the start, you were there for us every step of the way. Buying investment properties right requires a lot of knowledge of the market as well as an intimate understanding of your clients wants and needs. You went over and above to ensure that all these wants and needs were met. We will go out of our way to refer you to any of our friends and business associates because we know that they will come back to us and thank us for introducing you and your services to them. We are very pleased with our new investment property and all the guidance provided. We look forward to doing more ventures with you now that we know what we are doing and how to do it. Sincerely, Bob and Debie Belcher, BBB Acquisitions, West Hills.

Review To say that Richard exceeded our expectations as a Realtor for both home buying in 2012 and selling in 2014 (both due to relocation) would be an understatement. He was more than an agent. He genuinely acted like a partner in the process - someone who cared about the outcome - with me and my family. He took such an interest in getting to know our needs and preferences that he could (correctly) tell us before we even looked at a house why/or why not we would like a home. He was completely engaged in every step of the engagement. Even my kids, who always joined us on our outings to look at homes, would get genuinely excited when he was going to stop by. The most important thing Richard did was keep us from buying the wrong home, so that we could be in the right one. He was patient, insightful and knows more about the areas he services than most of the people I met who grew up there. If you're going to buy or sell a house, I will tell you this: You will not get the best experience (and probably not the best home for you) if you don't work with Richard Powell. Period.

Review Known them and worked with them on multiple transactions in the past 6 years from renting, to buying and selling. In 30 yrs of experience with Realtors all over the country, I have not had better ones! Trusting your agent is a must and that's on the top of the list with them. Service and response time unsurpassed- and continues long after the deal is done. They don't forget. Finally when it comes to financial results, that's what it's all about in the end. They protect and maximize your end regardless of situation. Before you go to anyone else talked to the Powells and then me if your still not convinced. Michael - Thousand Oaks

Not only did we accept an offer in the first week of our listing, but we put in an offer on our dream house just in time for both houses to close one day apart. They guided us thru every step of the way, listening to our needs, and offering excellent advice. And where needed, they used their professional influence to make sure all parties were doing their part. Powell Fine Homes are clearly at the top of their business.

Review 5 stars for Rick Powell. 10 if possible. Buying now our 9th home over the last 10 years, I can say the caliber of service and knowledge does not get any higher. Really challenging buyers, we started to buy in 2011, and decided then not to move to California, only to come back a year later to the purchase discussion. It was easy for us to contact Richard again in 2012 bc the professionalism and ease of and with Richard in 2011 was top notch. Just to reiterate that we were difficult clients. Moving from Europe to US, we were not often available for him to show us homes, and any day and time we asked, even on a holiday, he would make himself available. Further, there is no pressure to choose a home. In fact, he willingly offered to show my husband and I homes, even though he knew we would not be buying seriously for another two months. This alone was impressive, as prior to this, I spoke with someone who said that he could show me homes 'when i am ready to buy'. Of course, it's understandable that an agent's time is money, but Richard NEVER makes you feel this way. He will also always be on time, often leading to MY apologies for being late which he was NEVER agitated about! Rick will show you as many homes as you want to see. He is also the first to point out structural problems, road noise, etc to insure you do not fall in love with the wrong house, making only his job take more time. With that, Richard took his time & his experience to ensure that we bought the house we really wanted. He held our hand through the escrow process, worked with us as we sold a home in Europe and had currency exchange delays, which he is familiar with and insured we were safe as buyers for this (hugely important!).... and really just went above and beyond his normal duties as our agent. I really appreciate Richard as a professional, an agent, and quite frankly, a really intelligent/ down-to-earth guy, that we would be happy to have over to a BBQ amongst friends... and recommend to our closest friends to use as a realtor, any day!

Review Following up on the review that my wife Barbara wrote 2 years ago ... we bought our house in Santa Rosa Valley with Richards help and expert advice and it was the best purchase we could have made. Richard never pushed us to purchase something. in fact he was usually the one advising us NOT to buy if he did not think that the property was up to his and our standards and requirements. Just wanted to say that now, two years later, we can still count on Richard to help us with our property. We needed some information about the purchase process the other day and he responded within the hour as if he had the information sitting on his desk waiting for us to ask for it !! Even two years after our transactions ended still awesome service Richard and Kirsten. Thanks!!! Barbara and Marc

Review I believe that Mr. Richard Powell is one of the best realtors out there. I have had the pleasure of working with Mr. Powell from March 2009 to July 2009, and have had the honor of his friendship to date. When I was interested in buying a house, I spoke with my close friend Michael and he sang praises about his realtor. Impressed with my friend's recommendation, I called Rick.The house buying experience was smooth as silk, thanks to Rick. He would meet with me and my fiancA(C)e (now wife) whenever we wanted. He met with us as often as we wanted and as long as we wanted. I was impressed that he was able to handle our tight schedules. He gave us a binder with the MLS listings, a map of the houses were we going to see that meeting, and house pro and con list. While looking at houses, he would inspect the house with us. I knew that he was an honest man when he would point out his concerns with certain houses. He was looking out for our benefit and not just trying to make a fast sell. Rick would always welcome questions and would answer them to the best of his knowledge.When my sister wanted to buy a house, I gave them Rick's number with my full recommendation. She was having a hard time working with her realtor, so I told her to give Rick a call. After speaking with him, she decided against working with her former realtor, and decided to work with Rick. My sister could not thank me enough for recommending Rick to her. I would recommend Mr. Richard Powell to anyone with no hesitation. I believe that you will be in good hands when you work with him.
