About Richard Macmillan

Hi, I am Richard MacMillan. Thank you so much for the opportunity to help you with your real estate needs. I have two goals as an agent, providing you the best customer experience possible and to deliver results! I have been a Coachella Valley resident for over 30 years and have extensive knowledge of the desert area. I have been able to witness the tremendous growth in this valley during that time. There are many things I love about real estate, from all the different types of architecture, locations and views, to the amount of security and wealth real estate provides. Most of all I think it is the memories that owning a home can give. I had my real estate license in the early 90's and focused mainly on personal real estate investments. Also during that time I have ran a local business ( Certified Smog) for the last 20 years so I have a lot of experience with customer service. I am fortunate to be part of the Extra Mile Team with Homesmart Professionals and we offer a unified approach along with the latest technology to provide maximum results, With up to date education and training we can provide the very best in customer service and experience, and we always strive to be better. We use a team approach to provide the best results in buying and selling homes. Our goal is to provide you with the best "real estate experience" you've ever had! We conduct business with honesty and integrity, and we can assist you with a purchase or sale of a new or existing home. I look forward to helping you make lifelong memories in your new home. Give me a call today!

The best realtor on the planet! Knowledgeable, likeable, and great at anticipating client's needs; always one step ahead. He kept us informed of milestones (expected), but also would check in to confirm statis-quo. Clearly he understands a good realtor doesn't just process paperwork, they ensure their client has a worry free positive realty experience. Rick is the template from which all realty professionals should be modeled.

Richard is top notch and on his game! He is incredibly thorough and knowledgeable regarding home value, appreciation potential, communities of interest and areas to avoid. He is also finely attuned to identifying problem areas on both the interior and exterior of the home, and the approximate cost to correct a problem. He is also wired into the Coachella Valley workingman's community and has provided us with a number of recommendations for reliable handyman, gardener, HVAC, pool company, floor covering, furniture store, movers, etc. He has been a wealth of knowledge and extremely helpful in assisting us in our transition to the desert. Richard is a total professional in every aspect and we are tremendously happy with our new home that hit all of our identified priorities. We can't imagine a more knowledgeable, helpful and reliable realtor than Richard Macmillan.

I cant say enough good things about Richard. Ive been looking for my dream home for a year. Richard was incredible ! He is so knowledgeable about the different areas of the Coachella Valley. I was very picky, but Richard never tired in his quest. With all the COVID restrictions and living 7hrs away, Richard would send me videos of the homes & surrounding neighborhoods that I was interested in. He went out of his way many times. Richard has a excellent eye for things that need repairs and will not hesitate to point them out. He looks at each property and has a keen sense of investment. Richard excels in communication and his strengths are his integrity and kindness. Without a doubt, Richard was the best Realtor Ive had ! As my escrow closed a week ago today, and I am so grateful.

Answered Questions

How can I save money on a mortgage loan?

Good morning, I'm not sure if the question is related to purchasing or refinancing. I will answer based on purchasing. When you write up the offer ask for closing costs and allocate them towards a rate buy down. If the property is in high demand offer over asking with a credit back for the amount needed for a rate reduction. I have done this several times successfully as this reduces your mortgage payment monthly even with the higher loan amount. Speak with your lender they should be able to assist (if not find another lender) the most you can get back is 6% of total. Thanka

What should I know about buying a mobile home?

Good morning, Several things you will need to know when considering a mobile home. 1. Purchase with land? 2. Purchase on space rent? 3. 55+ park? 4. All age park? When purchasing (with a loan) a mobile with land you will want to make sure it has a permanent foundation (attaching the mobile to the land. This is called a 433 certificate (older versions are 413). Not needed if paying cash When purchasing on space rent (with loan) You will need to have 2 1/2 to 3 times space rent to qualify with the park. Some parks will allow you to prepay the space rent 6 months in advance if you don't qualify with income. If obtaining a loan the space rent amount will be in addition to your mortgage payment. I have found that 55 plus parks are usually much nicer than all age parks which relates to the holding of value. Holding of value depends on the quality of the property and neighborhood Thanks
