Rayce was an absolute dream to work with! I was relocating from outside the area and he was so helpful in the whole process for me. Rayce was able to explain things step by step, but also helped with negotiations and connections to an awesome mortgage broker. He made a stressful process run so smoothly, and I appreciated his communication throughout, even checking in after moving in a few times. Thank you so much, Rayce!
Rayce was amazing and helped us close on a historic home in Lansing. As we were buying from outside of the state, Rayce arranged a video conference walk through and showing, handled negotiations with the seller, accompanied us for the inspection, connected us with local contractors, and was responsive and proactive throughout. Thank you!
Rayce was an amazing support while I was buying my first home. As a first-time, first-generation homebuyer, I had very little knowledge about anything and everything. Rayce didn't only showed me houses, but taught me a lot of things to look out for. He answered all my questions, no matter how big or small, with detailed explanation. He understood and respected my cultural and religious preferences, and helped me find houses that would suit my need and my style. His attention to details and prompt communication were always on point. I had a faith-based lending process that was much more complicated than the regular ones, but Rayce was extremely patient and helpful with all the paperwork. I highly recommend him, and I would absolutely love to work with him again.
My husband and I were first time home buyers. Despite being novices to the home buying process, Rayce showed a lot of patience and understanding when it came to our questions. He explained the process thoroughly and made it easy. In addition, Rayce was very knowledgeable about the areas history, city/neighborhood law and landscaping. We highly recommend Rayce if you are looking at purchasing a home in the Lansing area.
Rayce was great helping me buy a home long-distance. He's very responsive and knowledgeable (both in real estate and the local Lansing area). His video walkthroughs were very detailed. When I finally visited the house I ended up buying, I felt like I'd already been there. I would definitely work with him again.
Rayce is a very intuitive individual who quickly understood what I was looking for. Moving from another state has its own issues, but Rayces local expertise made everything seamless and smooth for me. His attention to detail is impeccable. I highly recommend calling Rayce to help you find the perfect home for you.
Working with Rayce was an absolute pleasure! He was always there for us when we had questions. He made our home buying process the best it could have been. We thought there would be a lot of hoops to jump through, but not with Rayce. This experience was seamless and perfect! I am so glad Rayce was with us in finding our new and very first home.
Rayce helped me sell my rental property. I was admittedly an anxious seller and he helped to calm and reassure me. I did not live in Lansing, but he made it easy for me to feel involved with the selling process despite living elsewhere. He was also patient, as I wavered on selling after I first reached out to him. He and his team were responsive, professional, attentive, and confident. I was in good hands and would again elect to work with Rayce and his team were I to buy or sell a home a home in the area.
Rayce did an incredible job when working to sell my home. With all of his efforts, he was able to get me 3 offers within 24 hours of putting it on the market! He was terrific at addressing any concerns I had through the process. Cant recommend him highly enough!
Rayce did a fantastic job helping us find the right house for our unique multi-generational family. We had a bit of a tough lending process, but Rayce steadied us throughout the process and answered all our questions quickly and effectively. I would definitely use Rayce's services again and will recommend him to any friends looking to buy in the greater Lansing area!
Rayce was amazing to work with! Rayce is responsive and knowledgeable which made looking for a home much less stressful. No matter how many homes we went to see, he always went above and beyond each time. If I need to buy or sell again, I would definitely work with Rayce.
Rayce was great to work with in helping guide me through the process and was very responsive throughout the buying process and after as questions ever came up
Rayce is amazing. Rayce was recommended to us and he does not disappoint. He made buying our first home from out of state a smooth process. He advocated for us on multiple occasions, was always available, and has been so straight forward with everything. Buying from out of state, he was available for inspections, appraisals, etc when he didnt have to be. He would answer our questions 110%. Id definitely recommend him and would purchase with rayce again.
Rayce is a wonderful agent! He did a great job walking me through my first home purchasing experience and helping me get a good feel for the neighborhoods and areas around Lansing I was looking in. He was great with answering our many many questions and found us an amazing home in a great location with all the specific things we wanted! Rayce is also just a fun guy to talk to and made the whole process way less intimidating and scary than I was worried it would be.
Rayce was extremely helpful in helping with our home purchase. He was extremely professional, responsive, and knowledgeable about the local market. Highly recommended!
My husband and I worked with Rayce to buy our first home. He was extremely helpful throughout the whole process. There were so many steps that would have been overwhelming without a kind and competent realtor. He was with us every step of the way and was always quick to respond to our questions (which we had a lot of!). His knowledge and professionalism is top notch, which makes us so glad we went with him. Buying a house is stressful, but with Rayce as our realtor it wasn't nearly as anxiety inducing as it could have been. We are hoping this is our forever home, but if not we wouldn't hesitate to choose Rayce again.
Rayce was an absolute pleasure to work with! Never pressured us to look at house we weren't interested in, always asked how we felt about all house we viewed. At the very beginning he asked what were looking for and created a custom search to fit our requests/preferences. He's very responsive to communications. 10 out of 10 would recommend working with Rayce if you want someone who values you and what you are looking for and genuinely want to help you find your dream home.
Rayce is an expert in his field and knows all the ins and outs of the area that really helped us put our best offer down. He went to bat for us at every step of the way and went above and beyond by checking on the property before we moved to the area. If needed, we will be calling him again for sure!
I had the pleasure of working with Rayce to sell my moms condo. From start to finish, it was a pleasure. Rayce is professional, knowledgeable and funny! I was at ease though the whole process. If I had questions, he had answers. Never made me feel uneasy about asking anything. Very patient. I highly recommend Rayce O'Connell to anyone for great real estate services. Thank you so much!
We live in California and Rayce helped us buy a house in East Lansing for our son who is attending MSU. We actually found him through reading reviews and are so happy that we did! He has great knowledge of the areas around MSU (which was very helpful since we don't), is honest in his opinions and he went above and beyond to pick our son up on campus to get him out to the house to initially look at it and several more times as things were needed throughout the escrow process. We unfortunately ended up having a tough escrow with a new loan program and Rayce was a huge support and very communicative throughout, which we greatly appreciated! We highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy a home in the greater Lansing area.
Rayce was very helpful in locating and showing properties that fit my criteria. When we found a particular area that I was very interested in, he literally went around the neighborhood knocking on doors to ask the homeowners if they knew of any properties that would be on the market in the future. I highly recommend him to anyone.
Rayce OConell made my home selling process easy and smooth! His guidance and help was very much appreciated. I will refer family and friends to Rayce in the future. Rayce was excellent. He was knowledgeable, helpful and made this process incredibly easy. I cannot say enough great things about him!!! Thanks for everything you done!!!
Rayce aided us in the sale of our home, along with the purchase of a new home. Throughout the process, Rayce displayed an immense amount of knowledge, professionalism, and most importantly, humor. Rayce was always available when we had a question and was extremely personable and prompt during every interaction that we had. He has a keen ability to identify what his clients needs are and can empathize with the home buying experience. He is a bright light in a dim world (cliche, I know), but I mean it with my whole heart.
We used Rayce to buy our new home and we cannot say enough about him. He knows the market well, he is a great communicator, and will be patient on your journey to find your perfect home. He helped guide us and look at so many things out of the ordinary. He was everything we were looking for and so much more. Highly recommend him on your home journey! Thanks Rayce for everything!
Rayce helped my wife and I buy our first home. Thanks to Rayce, the whole process couldnt have gone more smoothly. He was always available to answer our questions and communicated quickly with everyone involved in the process. I'm so thankful to have had Rayce as our agent and will definitely use him in the future!
This is my second time working with Rayce and I will definitely choose him again, for my next home buying experience. Rayce goes above and beyond to ensure a stress free experience. (as stress free as selling/buying can possibly be) He is one of the most pleasant people to work with, and always put our families needs first, while selling our home. A top tier agent!
Rayce was amazingly helpful when we were selling our 132 year old house. He handled coordinating access to the house as my husband and I were several states away. He found us great contractors to fix up the house and kept us informed throughout the whole process. I cant recommend him highly enough.
Rayce helped me buy a home that was exactly what I was looking for. He was easy to communicate with and kept me updated throughout the process. He went above and beyond as my realtor, and I had such an amazing experience finding my new home!
He helped me during my buying process and selling process. He did an amazing job on both occasions and walked me through the process as it was my first home.
My spouse and I were in the market to become first-time homeowners, and Rayce was AMAZING to work with. Not only was he funny and easy to talk to, he replied quickly to any emails and texts we sent, answered all our questions as we were going through the purchasing process, and gave us great advice. He also checked in with us a few times after we moved in just to make sure everything was still going well! I would definitely recommend Rayce to folks looking for their first or next home.
Rayce is AMAZING! He helped us find our first home and really went above and beyond for us at every step of the process. He is so knowledgable and went into great detail about what to look for and look out for during home tours (which was especially helpful for first time homebuyers)! He is so sincere and kind, and he was always willing to answer our questions. We anticipated that the homebuying process would be very stressful, especially in this market, but Rayce made us feel confident and at ease and helped us find the perfect home. I highly recommend working with him!
My partner and I were not only buying our first home, but also relocating from out of state. As you may imagine we needed a fair amount of help and reassurance during this process and Rayce was there for us every step of the way. He explained everything in ways we could easily understand and was available anytime we needed him. He was also able to be there for us during appointments we were unable to attend due to living out of state, which really helped our peace of mind. When we came to look at houses he was extremely helpful in giving us a feel for the city and tips on places he thought we'd like. If you're looking to buy your first home and are nervous about the process, you couldn't find a better person!
Rayce was instrumental in helping us find our "forever home". He was very considerate to our wants and needs, thoughtful and helpful in his assessments, flexible and prompt with scheduling, and always patient and kind. Rayce's guidance and experience was pivotal in navigating the hoops and barriers once we found what would become our home. We are so thankful to have connected with such an outstanding realtor and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking to buy in the area.
Rayce helped me buy my first home. He was always available to show me homes even with my work schedule and limited availability. He made the home finding and buying process easy and fun. I would absolutely recommend Rayce to anyone looking to buy a home.
I worked with Rayce to buy my first home, and I would highly recommend him. It was a long buying process due to the market, but he patiently showed me every house I requested. I was interested in older homes, and Rayce did a great job pointing out the pros/cons in each home. Very satisfied overall and happy with the new house.
Its been over a month in my new home that Rayce helped me find, and I continue to love it more every day. I firmly believe if I would have used any other agent, I would not be sitting in my paradise writing this review; Rayce was prompt with scheduling tours of homes and recommending neighborhood drive throughs, and he knew what I wanted in a home just as intimately as I did. As a first time home buyer, I felt as if I had no idea how to navigate the home buying process, much less in such a wild market, yet Rayce helped to streamline the process and make my dream become a reality.
My husband and I were delighted to have Rayce working with us while finding our new home. He was readily available, reliable, knowledgeable, and trustworthy, not to mention just a pure joy to be around. We had such a great experience with Rayce and we would absolutely recommend working with him!
Rayce was amazing to work with and I would recommend him to anyone I know! Rayce had excellent communication and was very knowledgeable. He was very honest when we were looking at houses of things to consider, that was very helpful for us first time buyers.
Knows the area well and is accommodating. He is responsive to questions & requests. Kind and helped an out of towner understand the neighborhoods of East Lansing.
Great experience with Rayce. Very friendly and knowable of the homes he showed. Was in contact through out the whole home buying process. Rayce knew what to look for in each home to make sure they were sound and safe homes to put an offer on. Very honest and hard worker.
Rayce is very proactive and a great communicator. He helped us find our new home during a very difficult market. He is very knowledgeable and offered great ideas to include in the offer that got us accepted even though there were higher dollar amount offers. Highly recommended!
Rayce was very effective in terms of connecting us with the right individuals and making sure all steps were completed smoothly (e.g., for questions we had that he didn't have the answers to), while also being incredibly responsive even when complications arose (e.g., negotiating the final purchase price). To me, that reflects a high amount of integrity on Rayce's part, and I strongly recommend his services for anyone looking for an approachable and supportive agent in their house buying endeavors.
I contacted Rayce when I was relocating from New York. He is responsive, knows the area and found my home when I thought my heart was set on another. He had options, suggestions, advised me on the market and has a keen sense of understanding my needs, wants and budget limits.
I met Rayce after looking online for a realtor. My wife and I were looking to list our home, and we needed to move quickly because of an illness in the family. Rayce was on top of everything from the first day we met. He took care of the paperwork, made sure we had the best photos of our home, and pulled it all together in days. I mentioned the illness in the family, it broke our hearts, but that family member passed away one week before we listed. Again, Rayce was on top of everything. Less than 24 hours after we listed, we had multiple offers. We officially closed the sale of our home several weeks after excepting an offer that was well over asking price. Closing was smooth and Rayce was again on top of all the details. I would highly recommend working through Rayce OConnell.
Rayce is a phenomenal agent! He is incredibly insightful and goes out of his way to care for his clients. His passion and knowledge are evident in every interaction and I absolutely plan on seeking out his expertise in the future!
Rayce was excellent to work with. Having gone to MSU he knows the EL area really well. He was helpful and knowledgeable on the botany front, too. He helped put us in the perfect house
Rayce was great. I will recommend him to anyone that is looking for an agent. He listened to what we wanted and was able to provide the outside advice we needed. His knowledge of the processes involved in buying a home made it easy. We are very happy with our new home.
Rayce helped us find our first home. He is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and willing to go the extra mile to answer any and all your questions and make it an easy home buying experience. If highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell.
He was very accommodating and quick to get us into see houses on short notice since we were traveling a long distance to see them. He is very professional and helpful.
Rayce is an excellent realtor. I did not know him before requesting a showing on a home I was interested in, but how fortunate it was that he became my realtor! When that initial offer didnt work out, Rayce promised me he would find the perfect place for me, and he did. Rayce went door to door in the exact neighborhood I wanted and found a seller that had not listed the property yet. It really is my dream home!!!
