"Richard was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout my house-buying journey. His professionalism and kindness were evident from the start. Unlike other agents, he didn't try to sell me a house; instead, he focused on understanding my needs and preferences to find the perfect home for me. Richard's approach was thoughtful, patient, and personalized, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend him to anyone in search of their dream home. Richard, thank you for making the process easy."
"Rich was a consummate professional during our last transaction together. He is patient, doesn’t get overwhelmed, and has a calm demeanor that helped him navigate our client into the home of an irrational seller! He stayed the course and negotiated a great deal when many realtors I know would’ve faltered or quit. Highly recommend!"
"Great experience. Rich took care of everything as discussed and ensured a smooth transaction. Highly recommend."
"Great man for the job. Whether you are buying or selling, Rich will get you where you need to be and have all your questions answered. Very knowledgeable and accommodating."
"Richard is a great realtor. By far the best realtor we've worked with. He is always working with your schedule making things easier. Most importantly he is always communicating with us, keeping us updated on the progress. 100% recommended."
"Richard is an awesome agent. He helped us purchase a house. Throughout the whole process, he was very patient and was trying to find us the right house with a better price. It was a challenging journey to find the right house for my family, but with Richard's knowledge of the area, hard work, and dedication, it was made a nice and smooth experience. I highly recommend Richard for everyone looking for a nice house and a good purchasing experience, especially those who have limited financial capabilities like me and are trying to get into right homes. Thanks Richard! It was a pleasure working with you."
Frequently Asked Questions
What areas do you serve?
Portland, OR and surrounding areas including Hillsboro, Beaverton, NW Portland, NE Portland, and Happy Valley.
What types of properties do you specialize in?
I focus on residential homes: single-family houses, townhomes, and condos. I also assist investors looking for small multi-family properties or rental opportunities.
Do I need to be pre-approved before I start looking at homes?
Pre-approval isn’t mandatory to start browsing, but it’s strongly recommended before you tour homes or make an offer. It shows sellers you’re serious and tells you exactly what you can afford.
How do you help clients compete in a hot market or a multiple-offer situation?
Pre-approval isn’t mandatory to start browsing, but it’s strongly recommended before you tour homes or make an offer. It shows sellers you’re serious and tells you exactly what you can afford.
How much do I need for a down payment?
Many buyers put down 3–5% with conventional or FHA loans, but a full 20% can help you avoid private mortgage insurance (PMI). Your lender can explain the best option for your budget.
What's the difference between being pre-qualified and pre-approved?
Pre-qualified means a lender has given you a quick estimate of what you might afford based on self reported information. No documents verified. Pre-approved means a lender has reviewed your income, credit and assets with documentation giving you a stronger, more reliable approval that carries more weight with sellers.
What other costs should I expect besides the down payment?
You’ll need to budget for closing costs (typically 2–4% of the purchase price), as well as costs for a home inspection and appraisal.
