I wanted to leave a note about Rick, to let others know what a tremendous experience you will have with him. He is thorough, experienced in negotiating, knowledgeable about the Austin area, and really loves what he does. Communication was virtually instant- I had responses to my emails within the hour any time I wrote, day or night. He knows the neighborhoods, so was able to explain the pros and cons of each and what was best suited for me personally. He is patient, and allowed me to have no less than 4 different people look at my final property during my inspection period. He is friendly yet firm in dealings during negotiations, getting a good deal without putting off the other party. He made sure all the details were in place for a smooth closing, and during the walk through recommended interior design ideas for doors and furniture placement. Bottom line, from start to finish Rick’s service is outstanding. I highly recommend him.

Working with Rick was such a joy, and he really made the homebuying experience simple for me (a first time buyer). I had already worked with another realtor, and I wasn't seeing the kind of attention to detail or promptness I was hoping for, so I switched to Rick and I am so glad that I did! Rick was able to answer all of my questions (which were plentiful), and he cared about finding me the perfect house as much as I cared. I am so grateful I was able to work with such a pro, and I definitely recommend him to everyone!

Nick and Constance C.

Rick worked with us tirelessly to find the absolutely perfect house in Austin after a three month search. This search was complicated by our brief consideration of finding a lot to build on but we settled on a property which captured all our "must haves". Rick kept us focused and we closed on time and without drama. His engaging personality suited ours and he worked through challenges with a smile and optimism. We highly recommend him.

Paul M.

The service Rick provided during the sale of my home was exceptional! He was a pleasure to work with and made the process as easy as possible. With a focus on customer service, he was always available to answer questions throughout the entire process and was always prompt in returning messages including calls, texts and/or emails depending on the best method of keeping in touch. He paid attention to all the details that I wouldn’t even have thought of, provided advice & staging insights, and was very proactive to start using his network to sell my home which sold before it was even officially listed on the market. I highly recommend working with Rick. Know that you are working with an expert who is passionate, trustworthy and reliable!

Jackie G.

A friend recommended Rick to us when we moved to Austin, and we can't thank that person enough. We are grateful for all of Rick's support and help during our move from Oregon to Texas. Rick created a list of houses that met our specifications and met our hectic schedule to create times where we could see the homes. After we placed an offer on our current house, Rick negotiated several improvements to our home and continuously followed-up on the negotiations until closing. Rick went above and beyond – and we are so thankful for all his time and patience while we found our home. Thank you, Rick!

I am delighted to share with you my experience with your agent, Rick Luisi. Really, I am a little hard-pressed to come up with words superlative enough to describe Rick’s work. Three things about Rick stand out to me: his interpersonal skills, his persistence, and the effort he puts into his work. Rick built a solid relationship with me from our first visit, and within a couple of hours, I could tell he was on my team. He demonstrated again and again the skills of listening and remembering what I had said and what was important to me. Rick has the wonderful – and I believe quite rare – combination of high energy, enthusiasm, friendliness and detail-orientation. My house search had its ups and downs. It is a tough market now as you know. Persistence turned out to be a huge factor in the success outcome. Rick was solid as a rock throughout the entire process and very positive as well. When we had a setback, he didn’t waver for a second; he lept into solving the problem.

Wow what an amazing experience working with Rick to sell our home. He exceeded all expectations. He assisted us with staging our "overly furnished" home to allow it to show the home's space and features. I realize this won't be everyone's experience but we had a full price offer in less than 24 hours. Rick was just as competent on the negotiations and seeing us through to closing in record time. I have bought and sold over a dozen homes, going forward Rick is my guy. I have also used him as a buyers agent and again he exceeded my expectations. My highest recommendation!

Rachel R.

I am so grateful that Rick was my realtor during my first home-buying experience. Not only is Rick friendly, kind, and patient, he is also extremely knowledgeable and a great advocate during the process. He always made time for me - answering texts, emails, and phone calls in a timely manner and also ensuring we could go see listings quickly. I knew Rick had my best interest at heart and that gave me so much comfort. I would (and do) refer him to anyone that needs a realtor!

Denise M.

Rick is awesome. So professional and friendly, a true pleasure to work with. He definitely goes above and beyond to ensure the selling/buying process goes as smoothly as possible. He is timely in his communication and did everything possible to alleviate my inevitable stress associated with the act of moving. On my ‘nice Christmas list’!

Ron P.

Rick was my realtor for a recent home purchase and I highly recommend him to anyone about to list or purchase a property. He is so perfectly suited to his profession - the consummate professional with superb negotiation and people skills. Rick was very involved in keeping track of deadlines and where the transaction was at any point in time with me, the sellers, the title company, my lender, etc. as well as keeping me informed of any new information regarding the transaction as it progressed. Since I was an out of town buyer and unavailable to be at the property at a moment's notice, Rick made himself available at all times to assist in a second roof inspection, picking up house keys, assisting in negotiating the purchase of some of the seller's items, etc. He was indispensable to me during the entire process and I feel so fortunate to have had him working so hard on my behalf through this process. I can highly recommend using Rick as your realtor - you'll be very glad you did.

Rick and Kristyn S.

We can’t say enough good things about working with Rick. He truly is a real estate professional. He understands the market and was able to get top dollar for our home. He staged our home beautifully, had an excellent marketing strategy and was great at negotiating with potential buyers. Rick made a very stressful process feel seamless and smooth. In the future, we will be using Rick for all of our realty needs.

Kelli and Dave S.

Rick provided us SO much support and knowledge when helping us sell our house. We weren't planning to move, but an opportunity popped up for us and we jumped on it. Needless to say, there was much to be done, from cleaning, landscaping, staging etc. Rick jumped right in with help and contacts for each task to be completed so we could get the house photographed and listed. He listened to our situation, understood our needs and worked accordingly. He negotiated for us, a cash sale even during the Christmas and New Year holidays. Rick's professionalism and evident depth of knowledge and experience, put us at ease. We HIGHLY recommend him.

Ted S.

I cannot recommend Rick too much. He takes customer service to a new level. We had already moved 1400 miles away when our house was listed, and it went very smoothly. Rick took care of everything, including bringing in his own furniture for staging, keeping us informed, and we got a quick sale, at a price that pleased us. You can't go wrong having Rick represent you.

Lorraine K.

Rick Luisi did a great job as my realtor. My original realtor was recommended through my company's relocation organization. I didn't feel very good about that relationship. Rick was recommended through a friend and he made all the difference for my relocation. The whole process of a cross country move is stressful and Rick was patient, kind and worked very hard on my behalf. He had great ideas of areas to look for a home and spent so much time helping in the decision making process. Since I couldn't be in Austin for all the inspections, etc. Rick's attention to detail was paramount and showed that he works for his client. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone searching for a new home. Thanks Rick.

Kris M.

Rick was absolutely wonderful through the entire process. Rick was very professional, fun to go to viewings with, and definitely knowledgeable about the area. As a first-time buyer, I was nervous and had apprehension, but he walked me through everything calmly. He helped me win the house of my dreams in a multiple-offer situation, and when the appraisal came back, I knew I got a great price on the house. I will definitely use Rick again for future real estate transactions.

Kim F.

I just wanted you to know how I feel about Rick Luisi as my realtor. I would highly recommend Rick as a realtor to anyone. Not only is he a fun, gregarious person to be around, he is an intelligent, educated realtor. I have purchased and sold many properties over the years, and I hired Rick to help me find another property in Austin. He guided me to the core areas, giving me the statistics and data for me to make a good investment decision. After looking at a couple of houses, Rick new exactly what I was looking for, to the point I could trust him to preview houses when I was unable to make it. Once my offer was made, Rick stayed on top of the negotiations, even though the seller was on vacation and difficult to get on the phone. He was able to negotiate every detail to be completed by the seller and stayed on top of the list insuring that all was finished as needed. Rick helped me through the whole process until the house was closed.

Kiran D.

We had the best home buying experience with Rick. He was very thorough and detail oriented and answered all our questions with great patience and was always prompt on email and phone responses. He has an excellent real estate knowledge of Austin and surrounding areas. He made us feel at home during the whole process. I would recommend him anytime. #1 on our list !

Mike H.

Rick went above and beyond as our realtor! From the very start he delved in to ensure our interests were fully represented. He asked great questions to determine our wants and desires which then allowed him to present us with the best options without wasting time - which was especially important as an out of town client. Rick's knowledge of construction/remodeling was also very valuable throughout the process and he seemed to take each step as if he were doing it for himself, which made us feel like we were in great hands. If someone is looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, on top of things, quick and going to make a deal happen, then Rick is your guy. We are thrilled with the house we purchased and can't imagine buying it with anyone else.

Shameem A.

Rick is an exceptional professional. He was recommended by a friend. I found Rick to be everything he described him as and more. He not only helped me every step of the way with advice, contacts, making selections and upgrades that would maximize the value of the house but also helped coordinate with the builder, mortgage company and the inspection company. This was crucial in making sure we close the house in time. Rick is a pleasant human being, sincere in his dealings and genuinely caring. He makes home buying experience a breeze for his clients. I would recommend him every time.

Pat and Terrell P.

Rick worked tirelessly to stage our classic MidCentury Modern house to highlight the architectural gem that it is. Being there made us feel like we were on holiday. The brochures and fliers he prepared are now part of Terrell's portfolio showcasing his art. Once on the MLS, Rick was always ready to assist in getting the house shown. He helped get the house sold fast and at the price we were pleased with. We are telling all our friends that are considering selling their homes that Rick is the best realtor in Austin. He is always welcome to come to Santa Fe to stay with us. Thanks, Rick!

Trevan R.

I wanted to send you a short note about my experience working with Rick Luisi for the recent sale of my home at **** T****n Drive. Rick was wonderful to work with. He is communicative, flexible, and very engaged. He went over and above to sell my home and do it quickly. His professionalism was top-notch. He was able to educate me about the process, made good suggestions to enhance the probability of obtaining my asking price (which I did!) and kept me informed every step of the way. If I need real estate services again, I will utilize Rick. I found him to be a great agent through this entire process.
