Ron's Reviews

It was a real pleasure working with Ron Pickett in finding and purchasing our new home. He was extremely knowledgeable of our desired neighborhood (he lives there), gave sound advice through the offer/counteroffer period and took charge in driving the inspections and repairs. Ron is the kind of person who is very easy to talk to, gives it to you straight and continuously works to earn and keep your trust. We continued to rely on him after the sale for advice on contractors for upgrades and he even loaned us his parking spot for our moving van! Overall an awesome experience and we're proud to call him our new neighbor!

I have sold multiple homes personally and through my business. Ron is the best realtor I've ever worked with. He is honest, thorough, and on top of every detail. A good man.

We can't say enough about Ron and his professionalism, expertise and thoroughness. Through the entire process of selling our home, we had full confidence in Ron's strategy and plan. He had a wonderful vison and plan from the very beginning and stuck with it. We live out of state and we had such comfort in knowing Ron was taking care of every detail. Ron did a fabulous job in negotiating with the buyers and giving us sound advice on each step and how to respond. He went the extra mile in so many ways, from disposing of items at the house which needed to be taken to the dump, arranging the place to be staged with furniture, coming up with a competitive asking price, and getting 4k videos and pictures of the home for the flyers. He really is a genius at marketing and has all the protocols in place to make the process so smooth and easy. We were able to sell our home for top dollar before it even hit the market. This was truly the easiest and smoothest transaction ever and Ron set us up for a win in every way!
