ZillowVERIFIEDRichard was fantastic!!! Before we got our home listed, he reviewed our home and talked about next steps, things we should do to prepare etc. After patiently waiting for us to be ready to list it, he was helpful, knowledgeable and informative. He helped us navigate the showing of the home with ease and as little as inconvenience as possible. All this while being critical to getting us the best selling price for our home. Keep in mind behind the scenes he was also helping my wife and I find our own spaces to live as we were separating. He helped me find a place in the same school district as my kids which was critical to me during this time of transition. Once we had our offers (yes, muiltple offers!!), he helped us assess which would be the best one to move forward with. He kept us informed throughout the selling and buying process. He helped resolve the inevitable bumps in the road. He assured me every step of the way that each bit of turbulence was something we would get through. We closed on the sale of our home and the purchase of my new place on the same day - making the juggling of our lives so much easier. In the end it's all summed up in one of Richard's most recent texts to me . . . "WE DID IT !!!"

ZillowVERIFIED I contacted Richard when I was thinking of selling my home, in which I had lived for 45 years. He reached out to me in a kind and professional manner, did not rush my final decision to list the house, and kept in touch with me on a regular basis. These were important factors in engaging Richard as my agent. The process of listing the house was smooth. He met with me, and suggested a listing price that was well within the market value that I expected. Richard went above and beyond during the time when we had Open Houses for fellow agents and prospective buyers, and individual showings. When offers came in, he was a superb negotiator in securing me the best price possible, which turned out to be well above the asking price. He answered my calls and texts no matter when I sent them: the lines of commutation were always open between us. I am a widow and was doing this on my own, and I always felt that he was in my corner. He facilitated paperwork, even to delivering it himself to the proper person(s) so as not to delay the contract or closing. Richard was not just my agent, but an advocate for me and my interests in the sale. His professionalism and caring speaks for itself, and I would give him my highest recommendation to anyone who is selling their house or property.

ZillowVERIFIED Richard makes the selling process super easy. In just two days there were over 27 showings and I received 25,000 above asking price. What I appreciated most about Richard is his responsiveness to my calls and texts. I never had to leave a message. I highly recommend him!

ZillowVERIFIED It was a great pleasure and fortunate to be able to have Rich represent me for the sale of my home. He is honest and dedicated in guiding me in preparing and presenting my home for potential buyers. His focused and works for my best interest with realistic expectation. He used a profession photographer to highlight the best features of the house. He organized open house regularly to introduce my home to experienced real estate agents and potential clients. He constantly provided feedback from the buyers on the pros and cons of the house so I can make adjustments as necessary. Whenever I needed help with the house, he identifying supports for house cleaning or professionals to keep the house in top form. He coordinates and follows up on the details of the house. He guided me through each step with showing, contract, inspection, and the closing of the house. He is excellent manner, and responds to queries in short notice, and provide constructive suggestions when needed. In addition to his professional manner, he is warm, sincere, and compassionate and works with you as a trusted friend. I am aware that selling a home is complex, challenging, and full of uncertainties, but Rich made it a smooth and rewarding experience, and gave you full confidence that the house will be sold. In my opinion, Rich is the ultimate professional and provides his undivided dedication to work for your best interest.

ZillowVERIFIED Richard Herska is an absolutely excellent realtor. He took the utmost care making sure that all details for this condo sale were covered. He created open houses and made sure to follow up each time with each person who walked through the doors, contacting all who came to the open house to see if they were interested. He kept in constant touch with me as the seller. He knew everything about the Tarrytown area and comparable homes for sale. He was always candid and protected me at every turn. I felt especially safe as a long-distance seller because Rich took care of the property as if it were his own, made sure all was ready to go at every turn, and I always felt I could rest assured that he would find the best buyer and make sure that all details were taken care of. He took beautiful photos, made sure the unit was accessible, and as a realtor, he was confident, composed, and affable with all potential buyers and visitors to the property. Not only did I notice how great a realtor Rich Herska is, but so did all newcomers to the property as well as the Condo Board. There is nothing negative to say about this impeccable, compassionate, humanistic realtor who is extremely sharp and able to find and create a great business deal on all levels. He is the kind of realtor who will help the seller with all of their needs, including planting plants, just to make a job easier and a property more attractive. He is an outstanding realtor and I would recommend him to any buyer or seller. Thank you so much Rich Herska! You are a tribute to your profession! Kryssi Staikidis

ZillowVERIFIED I started working with Rich more than a year ago. Unfortunately, I was unable to complete my purchase at the time due to my lease extension, so I put my plans on hold. When I was ready to begin my search again, I did not hesitate to reach out to him. He has such a positive attitude and I never felt pressured to see anything or enter any agreement if I wasn't sure. He was patient and available when I needed him. When I asked to go back to a house THREE times, he accommodated me with no judgment. LOL. I would absolutely use him again if/when I'm no longer in love with my dream house.

ZillowVERIFIED Ive been working with Richard for about a year now and I cant imagine anyone else being there with me through this journey. As as single mother it is great having someone who is patient and flexible with showing me houses. He has walked me through all the steps and is very knowledgeable when it comes to the whole process. Hes always on time which is awesome and he doesnt rush you throw your showings. I'm very happy I have had the opportunity to work with him.

ZillowVERIFIED I know Richie Herska for quite a few years. When I heard he became a real estate agent, I quickly went to him to inquire about the co-op I was interested in. He responded back by making an appointment to show me the co-op. I fell in love with the apt. and placed a bit. He was with me from the beginning in every step of the process and even though it took 9 months to close, he assured me that all will go through smoothly and always kept me informed of every detail of the "short sale." Richie is a professional and loves what he does. I highly recommend him for his professionalism. He cares very much for the clients he represents and is always on top of things. Thank you, Richie....it took a while but it was worth it. I love my new place.

ZillowVERIFIED Ill tell you the things that Rich is not... He is not pushy, flaky, condescending, unnecessarily aggressive, etc. As a first time home buyer, just in from out of state, this is everything. Ive dealt with realtors (some more challenging than others) when I considered renting but thank goodness for Rich! I moved to this area from a bit south of here but not way down south. Still, Rich appealed to the southern hospitality side of me. He is honest and forthcoming with his comments and opinions without being disrespectful. He did not push when I decided to put my search on hold. He did not push when I was unsure about a place that I aEURoelovedaEUR?. He is so personable and I am so glad he was recommended to me. Rich will provide recommendations and references as needed throughout the home buying journey...which is incredibly helpful to someone from out of state. Rich was patient as I did my due diligence on everything from checking references to pricing out various services to repeatedly asking some of the craziest questions he has probably ever heard! Yet, he has been there for me day after day... There were times that Rich called to basically talk me off a ledge because he sensed that something was troubling me. Seriously... he just knew and it was so helpful to be able to just chat with him. When he finally did aEURoepushaEUR? me to make an offer, its because he was able to tell that in my heart of hearts that this was THE place for me. We definitely clicked as a realtor and client. Rich got me through the entire process, and practically held my hand through closing. Not only did I close on the home I really wanted and belong, I gained a great friend.

ZillowVERIFIED Richard was a fantastic broker. The best. The opposing broker was difficult and not knowledgeable and he handled it like a true professional. Did I mention by the way he was rookie of the year for the entire country for better homes and Gardens? He proved himself over and over and over and over and over again. Sincerely, Bryan Mitkowski

ZillowVERIFIED We had a great experience with Rich. We enjoyed the house hunting process because he made it fun and exciting. When it came time to put an offer in he was honest and to the point, which you need when your about to buy a house!! He explained what all the next steps were so nothing came as a surprise. Buying a house is exciting, but scary and crazy at the same time. Rich knows how to give you the information you need, at the same time keep you excited throughout the process. He became a true friend throughout this process and a sincere friend, which is rare in real estate. No offense to other agents. We were lucky to have had the opportunity to work with him and would recommend him to anyone about to embark on this crazy exiting life experience! Thank you Rich!!!!

ZillowVERIFIED Richard is very knowledgable in his work. He is very helpful and dedicates his time to his customers. When i looked up a lot of place to see I would give Richard the listing and he would tell weather if it was availiable or if it was taken. If his customers is not pleased neither is he. He do not beat around the bush he is honesty and straight forward with the customers and the other realtors. If wanted to see a place anywhere in the 5 boroughs and in Rockland, and Westchester he would be right there for you with out hesitation. Richard it was great working with you. When that time comes again to look for another place be ready because your phone will be ring and it's going to be me.

ZillowVERIFIED We met Richard at an open house earlier this year when my wife and I were just starting the home buying process. Richard was very knowledgeable, warm and honest right from the beginning so we decided to enlist him as our agent. It took us a while to find our dream home but Richard always made time for us and kept showing us houses until we made our decision. He always gave us great advice and pointed out the positives and negatives about each house that we saw. Once we put an offer down on a house, Richard walked us through the whole process and guided us every step of the way. He made everything as easy and painless as possible. I would highly recommend Richard to anyone who is looking to buy a home.

ZillowVERIFIED Richard Herska just completed the rental of my townhouse condo and I was not only satisfied but very pleased with all aspects of his work. He was primarily concerned with taking excellent care of my needs, both financially and emotionally. He is competent, intelligent, humorous and extremely conscientious in his approach to a rental and in his results for his client. I certainly intend to use him if I should decide to sell my home in the near future and would refer him without qualification to anyone in need of a fine realtor.

ZillowVERIFIED I am taking my time to consider when I move to a new apartment and Richard has been very sensitive to my desire to move slowly. It's been so much fun going apartment hunting. He has great passion for interior design and our trips give him the opportunity to get familiar with my interests. I feel that he has my best interests at heart and I'm confident that in the Spring, he will help me stage my apartment for maximum return. I'm so glad that my good friend Jane, introduced me to Richard. I'm in very good hands. Bonnie Kaplan

ZillowVERIFIED I have a family member who is presently living in New York and was looking for an apartment to rent in New Jersey. Rich Herska was so willing to connect my sister with a New Jersey broker. My sister contacted Rich and he immediately gave her the name of a broker, he followed up to see if she and the broker were able to reach each other and he was always willing to give his professional advise. Rich is professional, knowledgeable, and can help with any real estate needs. I have found my real estate professional! Thank you Rich!

ZillowVERIFIED Richard is the most personable and focused person! His attention to my needs and his ability to listen to what I want and then deliver is a gift. If you want to find what you are looking for, try to secure Richard before he gets booked. Oh, and did I mention that he is an Interior Decorator? He is full of ideas and has an outstanding sense of color and style.
