Richard is an exceptional realtor who exceeded our expectations! Our houses sold quickly, easy closing and no issues. Richard is a calm, experienced agent who knows his stuff!

I’ve bought and sold many properties and worked with many realtors. Richard is absolutely one of the best realtors I’ve ever worked with, a true professional and made both the buying process 8 years ago and selling process this year both easy and enjoyable. I wouldn’t even consider working with anyone else in the OBX.

Richard was patent and diligent in finding the house that checked all our prerequisite boxes. Once he found our perfect house, he provided expert guidance putting together an offer and all the subsequent purchase terms to make sure we got the best value. His expertise in the OBX market is best in class that doesn't end once the purchase is completed. From what we experienced it is obvious he values the relationship over the standard sale orientation. We look forward to keeping in touch with Richard as we settle into our new home.
