Realtors who can most effectively represent properties are those with knowledge of comparable homes in the area who work at a local real estate company. For those considering selling a home, Rick can show a tailor-made plan including agent and Sunday open houses and extensive advertising. Well-priced homes don't spend much time on the market, and the best way to ensure top dollar is extensive advertising.

Rick keeps very close tabs on new listings and has the ability to furnish listings right when they come onto the MLS, and sometimes even before they appear on the MLS.
