Richard did an amazing job with selling our condo. We had moved away and he helped us get it prepared and it sold very quickly with only one open house. I strongly recommend Richard.
This is our second home that Rich has sold for us. I wouldnt go with anyone else. He did so well for us selling and buying our last home that it was a no brainer to call him again and help us sell our townhouse as we were retiring and moving out of state. We were a little nervous about getting the money back that we paid for this townhouse as it had only been about 2 1/2 years since we purchased it. Well, much to my surprise (being that the market wasnt that great for selling townhomes in this area) Rich did what he does best, he sold our place and he got us more than we expected. We not only made our money back but we walked away with an additional $150,000 profit. Rich is very good at what he does. He does his research and we trust him. He really works for you and not himself. I cant thank him enough for all hes done for us. Trust me, hes the agent you want!!!
Everyone needs a Real estate agent like Rich!! We live in NH and were selling a house in Everett. Rich knew all the vendors we needed , a plumber, an electrician, drywall and junk removal. All very professional and a good price. We highly, more than five stars,recommend Rich.
Richard went above and beyond every step of the way. His knowledge and expertise in the market got us top dollar. His communication throughout the process was above any expectations. We are beyond pleased with the selling price $50,000.00 over asking. His marketing of the property and out of the box thinking made the sale possible.
Richard helped us navigate the process flawlessly! He was present from listing till closing and explained everything meticulously every step of the way. Any question we had were answered immediately and his recommendations were on point. He truly knows what he is doing. He even met with the Fire Inspector and placed all the smoke/carbon detectors where they needed to be. He was friendly, reassuring and professional and made us feel like we were the only clients he had. It was a pleasure working with Rich and I wouldn't want any other real estate agent in my corner!
I cant say enough about the exceptional service Rich gave us. His professionalism and knowledge is exemplary! He went above and beyond every step of the way throughout the process of selling our house! He staged every room to ensure perfect pictures for his online posting to capture the true beauty of our home. We were overwhelmed with cleaning out our basement of over 49 years and he contacted a clean out service and scheduled an appointment for us. He sold our house in record time ( within a week of the first open house) he contacted the fire department for the inspection and he even installed the carbon monoxide and smoke detectors that we needed to bring up to code. If you are selling your home, you need to contact Rich! Its overwhelming selling your house, unless you have a Realtor like Rich. If I could give him 100 stars, I would! Thank you Rich for everything you did!!
Richard was so helpful very knowledgeable a pleasure to work with hooked us up with a realtor in Florida to by a condo for rental. Has been in touch the whole time even did work on the house to make it more presentable. Would highly recommend Rich to help you n the home buying or selling. Gave us lots of places to check out.
Rich was simply amazing the way he handled both marketing and closing on the property at much more than the asking price! He was constantly keeping us informed of the details and the open house activity. We felt very comfortable with Rich.

Richard was absolutely amazing, we never imagined getting a house so quickly, He walked us through every process and was there through every step of the way. He is now a new family member God bless you Richard it was a pleasure.
Richard did an outstanding job on the search of my dream home. I'm so satisfied with his teamwork. I'll definitely ask him to help me if I ever buy another house.
Rich did a great job working with the other real estate agent and made himself available to assist us in finding our home as we needed help. Rich gave great advice and helped us find financing to meet our needs. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience and would highly recommend others to work with Rich to find their new home.
We had the pleasure of working with Rich Harkins. He was so knowledgeable and so on top of things throughout the process. We were selling our home and downsizing and we were so nervous and Rich eased our minds. He took the bull by the horns and before we knew it he set up professional photos, an open house and had our house sold for over $80,000 over asking price. He blew our minds not thinking we would ever get that kind of money. He made every aspect of the process so seamless that we asked him to help us find a townhome to buy. I was nervous as I knew it was a sellers market, not a buyers market and we had a budget we wanted to keep in. Needless to say Rich not only found us a beautiful townhome, but he also got it below asking price and within our budget. We can not say enough good things about him. I highly recommend Rich Harkins . He worked tirelessly to get everything we wanted and needed. Do yourself a favor and pick up the phone and call him. You wont regret it!
Rich helped me achieve my goal of owning my very own home! He is such a caring realtor and was so attentive to my needs. He was patient, kind, and was there whenever I needed him! Highly recommended!
Rich helped us with our search for months upon months, we visited dozens of homes and traveled hundreds of miles only to come to the realization that the one we were waiting for was right under our noses! Rich's patience and positive attitude helped keep us calm when we were dealing some tough decisions. Ultimately, with Rich's help, we were able to close on our lifelong family home.
After months of looking to buy a home and dealing with agents that gave up on us because of the crazy market and assistance we needed, Rich was able to help us secure the assistance we needed and purchase a home within a few months of working with us. Always responsive and professional, this guy knows his stuff. He is the only real estate agent I would trust in the future and I will recommend him highly to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. Thanks for all your hard work and patience, Rich. It was a pleasure.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Rich, who went above and beyond to help me find the perfect apartment. From start to finish, his commitment to providing excellent service was truly commendable. First and foremost, Rich's attention to detail and thoroughness were truly impressive. He took the time to understand my specific needs and preferences, ensuring that every apartment I visited met my requirements. Rich's comprehensive knowledge of the local market was apparent, as he presented me with a range of options that aligned perfectly with my criteria. One aspect that truly stood out was his responsiveness. Whether it was answering my questions, scheduling viewings, or providing updates, Rich was always prompt in his communication. It was evident that he valued my time and were dedicated to making the entire process as smooth as possible. What truly sets this realtor apart is his ability to deliver results. He not only understood what I needed but also had the expertise to find it. They were able to secure an apartment that ticked all the boxes, exceeding my expectations. Overall, I cannot recommend this realtor enough. The thoroughness, responsiveness, and ability to deliver exactly what I needed made the apartment search a stress-free and enjoyable experience. If you are in search of a realtor who will prioritize your needs, provide excellent service, and secure the perfect apartment, I would highly recommend working with Richard Harkins.

Selling your home automatically puts you in the category of stress, pressure, and anxiety. We were contemplating so many scenarios that was about to come our way once the "Coming Soon" sign hit our front steps. Fortunately, having Rich there by our side every step of the way made all that anxiety disappear. His willingness and professionalism to make it so easy and simple in selling our home was worth everything to us. Our house sold in the first hour, you could not ask for anything better than that, nor a better agent. Rich's support and attentiveness carried through the entire process. He listened and cared on what we had to say, and that meant a lot to us. We respected him for that and admired him for always going that extra mile for his clients. Best Realtor Ever!

If you are looking to buy a home look no further! Rich is nothing short of excellence! He made sure to take the time keep us well informed all throughout the process especially as first time home buyers he helped us ease our nerves so much.

Rich was amazing in helping me and my boyfriend find our perfect home!We are first time home buyers and he made the process seamless. I would recommend him to anyone buying or wanting to sell their home. He was always there for us and answered any questions we had.Nick and Angela
Rich, was pleasure to deal with. I could call him any time and he would get right back to me right away. Was able to get me my dream home. I would recommend him to everyone I talk too. Great guy and I'm 100% satisfied with his professionalism and hard work.
Rich is true to his words completely. He made the process of selling my home very easy. He always returns calls and texts quickly. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with.

I wanted to thank Rich for being my realtor. He did an amazing job selling my house. I can honestly say that I would not have been able to get through everything without his help. From the start he provided tremendous assistance with decluttering my house and making it more presentable to buyers. He helped secure contractors for areas that needed repair and updating. He did an amazing job with staging, cleaning and advertising. His open houses could not have run smoother nor more professionally. He always made sure my best interest was always his top priority. But most importantly, he helped me maintain my peace of mind during the entire process. Whenever there were issues he was there to help in any way possible and keep us moving forward. For all these reasons and more I cannot recommend Rich enough. Like everyone else here is saying he is very professional and very friendly and you will do well having him by your side in your home sale.
OUTSTANDING EXPERIENCE!!! WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!No exaggeration at all!! Richard is by far the BEST Realtor we have ever, worked with. Between my husband & I, we owned 8 houses & neither one of us has ever worked with such a talented and friendlier realtor. Richard gave us tips & he even helped arrange the house so it would be more marketable. He made the house look so good we didnt recognize it. Richard is very professional and serious about what he does because he works for you and gets more joy from the satisfaction of making a client happy more than anything else. We had close to an acre of land & a very large shed. We had no idea how to make them look more appealing. However, with Richard's guidance and ideas we made the yard and shed more appealing. Again, Richard is very, very talented. He will NOT let you down. If anything he will surprise you with the various tactics he has up his sleeve to make your home more marketable than you would ever imagine. He did it for us.... for sure! We were shocked with how much it helped the sale. Richard's serious but humerous personality helped make things work smoothly. He sold our house in ONE day. You can have total confidence in Richard taking care of the sale of your house. We did!!! Also be assured he will always return your calls promptly. I found that some realtors don't return calls for days. In my opinon due to prior experiences of selling previous homes, my husband and I agree to be a good realtor one should have a super personality, sense of humor, be totally honest and a have a knack for selling and Richard most definitely has all four characteristics. He was totally honest with us through the whole sale, no surprises. I am going to emphasize the honesty part because having a realitor who lies and tells you what you want to hear just to get the sale not only makes for a terrible experience in the end but not its not ethical.Thank you Richard for selling our house lighning fast in such a smooth and calming fashion,!!!!! Also, thank you for the decorating tips!! :)
I want to thank Rich for being there every step of the way. Anytime I needed guidance, he was a call away with answers. As a first-time homebuyer, it can be nerve-wracking going through the whole process. Rich is very knowledgeable, respectable, and will get you on the right track. If you're looking for a great realtor please don't hesitate! I know I'll recommend him to family and friends. Thank you Rich for making me a homeowner!
As first time buyers, knowing you were there gave us the confidence we needed in buying our dream house.Thank you very much Rich Harkins for everything, for your patience, your expertise and advice but most of all thank you for all your help throughout the process????

It was such a pleasure to work with Rich. We met at a restaurant while out to dinner with his beautiful family and got to talking. I made a promise to him that evening that I would give him the listing on my home. About a year or so later, that day came. Selling your home can be very stressful and I can honestly say that Rich took away most of that stress and handled a lot of the tedious work you would normally have to do. He went above and beyond to make it as seamless as possible for us. I can't thank him enough for that and would highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed!
Richard truly a likeable person and very personable realtor. 100% professional, loyal and dedicated. As well as a super reliable realtor. He is honest and straightforward which I liked very much. I have owned a beautiful home but with a few challenges. Upon meeting Richard, his personality and his calm demeanor was a plus for me to work with him.There were some difficulties during the process. Richard went above and beyond to fix and resolved all issues. He was thorough and always made sure he answered my questions at any hours of the day . He remained personable and approachable. Richard , always looked for my best interest. He is very creative , even shined in the creation of my home listing on MLS. He sold my home with honesty, dignity and true hardwork. He is simply amazing and truly a great realtor. A+++ for being so awesome. I highly and gladly recommend him to my family and friends .
Rich did an amazing job selling my house. He had it under agreement in 1 weekend for way over asking price! He helped go over multiple offers we had with a fine tooth comb and together we picked the best one. We hit a major roadblock and his outside the box thinking got us over it and we were able to close in just 16 days. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to buy and sell and I will certainly be doing business with him in the future.
Rich exceeded my expectations. His enthusiasm was contagious and when I found myself feeling overwhelmed he was right by my side helping me. He brought a wealth of knowledge and a great network of professionals with him. When he provided me with options or suggestions, his presentation was always thoughtfully and thoroughly presented allowing me to make the best decision.Most importantly he is true to his word. No surprises!! Under his guidance the house was sold within thirty days and over asking price. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND RICH AND LISTING WITH HIM WAS THE BEST DECISION I MADE.
My husband and I bought our forever home and sold our condo (twice!) through Rich. During both buying and selling he was incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and always accessible.While looking to buy, Rich was proactive with sending suggestions and obtaining extra information on any properties were interested in. He was available at all hours for questions and even submitted our offer while out of the country!During the selling process, Rich routinely went above and beyond - replacing our smoke detectors so they were up to code, making sure the property looked immaculate once we had moved out, and catering the open houses to the biggest target audiences possible. He handled unexpected speed bumps with ease and professionalism and always kept a positive attitude. Rich was incredibly easy to work with and always made us feel like we were his top priority. His experience and professionalism will be an asset in any real estate deal!
Richard is a great guy, he always get bk to you right away without having you messaging a million times like the other agents I have had experience working with. Richard knows what you are looking for and is good at analyzing homes for you. Richard is the the only agent you will need to find the right home. Highly recommend :)
As single girl living on my own for over 5 years in my very own home, I was very reluctant to take the plunge, sell my home and purchase another home going from a "me" to an "us". To be honest, I was a basket case. I reached out to Rich, whom I have known for years, to talk to him about possibly selling my condo. We had conversations at length and I felt absolutely no pressure, he was so amazing with me. He was compassionate about my "fear" and extremely honest. I can not count the number of times I would text him in a panic and without fail Rich would call me back in seconds. He was so attentive and knowledgeable and he made this entire experience absolutely wonderful. There was an offer made within the first hour of the open house and I closed a month later for $11,000 over asking. I could not have asked for a better result from a better realtor!
Richard did more for us in 3 days than the previous realtor we had for 4 months. He's an excellent listener and curbs your search to exactly your needs. He is very accessable. He responds to call and texts immediately. Thanks for all your time and effort Rich. Unfortunately we had a family situation that prevented us closing on purchase.
I've known Rich for 18 years. Knowing he was an experienced agent, I just wanted to bounce a few questions off of him to get some answers and his thoughts. That led to me checking out some open houses he told me about. I was looking in a few different cities to possibly move to and Rich pointed me in the right direction as to what was a good option. I signed with Rich and had two open houses at my home and received an offer for above asking, which I accepted. Then the hunt for a new home was REALLY on! We found a home I'm happy with and with Rich and his team, we were able to close on both homes (selling and buying) on the same day! Rich is a great person and his team was outstanding in getting me financed and closed.
I recently put my home on the market, a Home I lived in most of my life, a family home. I had many opportunities with other listing agents but after all was said and done I was confident that Rich would go the extra mile to sell my home, and he did. He gave me extra support with the move; was there to help out with every aspect of the sale and move. After all was said and done we were able to accept an offer above asking price. I highly recommend him as a realtor and all-around good guy. Oh and the house sold immediately. You will be very pleased with Rich and his commitment to sell your home for the best price possible. I give him high marks.
