About Rick
Rick was raised in Pierson alongside five siblings and a loyal dog. As a child, he dreamed of becoming a fighter pilot, never imagining he’d find his path in real estate. Life has a funny way of leading you to where you’re meant to be.
From a young age, Rick learned the value of hard work. He started by mowing lawns and doing farm work, steadily moving up to building homes. Each step was fueled by his commitment to self-improvement.
Rick entered the real estate industry over 30 years ago while seeking a summer job before his senior year of college. After an adventurous bike trip to Canada, he needed to earn money for tuition. Initially aiming to become a CPA, he unexpectedly fell in love with real estate.
As his career progressed, Rick excelled in working with sellers and first-time home buyers, becoming a master negotiator who sells homes quickly and for top dollar. His dedication has earned him numerous accolades, including:
CRS (Certified Residential Specialist): Achieved by only 3% of Realtors in the U.S.
RENE (Real Estate Negotiating Expert): Recognizing his expertise in negotiations.
Outstanding Service Award: Honored twice for exceptional client service.
Member of the National Association of Realtors: Committed to industry standards.
ABR (Accredited Buyer Representative): Specializing in working with buyers.
Sells 50-70 homes anuually, demonstrating his market prowess.
Jefferson Award by KMEG TV: Acknowledging his community contributions.
Sang for Pope Francis at the Vatican: A highlight of his personal achievements.
Met the Dalai Lama and three U.S. Presidents: Experiences that enriched his life.
Broker Associate: A testament to his professional standing.
Living in Sioux City for over 40 years, Rick enjoys a vibrant life filled with volleyball, racquetball, biking, Bandits football, local theater, Musketeer hockey, concerts, community volunteering, car racing, St. Thomas Church, house flipping, and movies.
Rick is dedicated to providing the highest level of service to his clients and takes immense pride in helping them achieve their real estate goals. His passion for the industry and commitment to his community make him a respected figure in the field.

Rick made everything easy, from finding houses for me to view to negotiating the purchase of my dream home. Rick was with me every step of the way. His knowledge and expertise were an asset before, during and after my home purchase.
