"Rick is hands down my new favorite person on earth!! My wife and I got strung along with another broker for our first home purchase. After feeling crushed when we had to back out of our first home offer because the other broker couldn’t actually do what he said he could, we met Rick through Facebook. Instantly he was off and running, told me exactly what we needed to do from the get go and made the entire process smooth as it could be. He answered all phone calls at all times or responded no later than a few hours. He even drove around checking on houses as we were moving into the same town he lived in from another state and basically gave us an honest opinion on each home and neighborhood. I literally could go on for hours about how awesome we were treated and not to mention he made sure WE CLOSED IN OUT FIRST HOME!! We move in next week and can’t wait and it wouldn’t have happened with out the help of Rick and his team!! Will definitely use Rick again for all my loan needs in the future!!"

"I am a realtor in SC and had never used Rick. I had this elderly couple that I had sold their home and under contract for a new home based on their lenders approval. Less than 2 weeks from closing their lender dropped the ball. I sent them to two different agents that could not get it done. I was referred to Rick by another agent, gave him a call. He jumped on the file had been approved, through underwriting, and at the closing table on time. And today’s market that is unbelievable, I will always be loyal to Rick. He did an amazing job and pulled a miracle out of the sky. I have sent his number to several other agents. Thank you Rick for a fabulous experience."

"Everything was good, but at times we felt like we were being an inconvenience with questions. Then we were not told the exact cash to close until the day before closing, which put us in a bind. We ended up finding out the cash to close by the Title Company. Overall, our experience was good, I just think the communication could be a little better for first time home buyers."

"Rick was eager to answer all of my questions. Rick was very supportive and encouraging throughout the entire process. He always took the time to explain every step in simple terms I could understand. Every conversation felt like I was talking to someone who really cared about the people he was working hard for. I will recommend Rick to anyone I know in the market for a house. Thank you again Rick."
