Rich Frattalone was my realitor for the sale of my condo in San Diego and he was fantastic with his ability to execute and do the needed follow through in order to get my condo sold in an efficient orderly manner of just a few weeks. I Highly recommend Rich who brings knowledge experience and courteousness to make and bring about for a job well done.
Best wishes Rich on any of your future goals thay may lie ahead sir.
Kind regard’s,

Rich is incredible! I needed to find a home quickly with 2-3 to move from my house that I sold. We found the perfect spot and he turned around a 14 day escrow! He was there to assist with any of my questions 7 days/ week. Thanks Rich!

We shopped many lenders and Rich was the most knowledgeable and had the best tools to help us make the right decisions.
During the process him and his team were helpful and knowledgeable as well.
Will definitely work with him again if we have the opportunity.
Thank you Rich!!!

Richard was excellent in handling the process while we were out of state, such as posting, open houses, following up with potential buyers, finding vendors to make repairs and the closing process.

Words cannot express or explain how my initial search for a home lead me to Richard and we didn't look any further than him. His personable demeanor and attention in the details was helpful for me and my wife. You see I am new to this homebuying process and yet Richard was available for all of my questions and even I was being a pain/pest he stayed steady and talked me off the ledge several times. I am so grateful I made that request for an agent, but more appreciative that it was your organization (Richard). We have a new home and when others were telling me that they were dropping agents for another, I don't know why there aren't other Rich's out there. On behalf of me and Kumi (Rich) "Thank you so much!"

I have known Rich for quite awhile since he helped my sister and her husband buy a house a few years ago. Rich has provided excellent services with his 20+ years of experience as a realtor. I trust him 110% when ever he provided his guidance and always made sure I was comfortable with my decisions before we move forward with putting in an offer, counter offers and so on. I'm a FTHB so house hunting is very challenging but Rich made it seamless and he's VERY VERY patience. I have his number on speed dial when the interest rates drops so we can re-fi. Will be recommending Rich 110% to anyone who needs a Realtor of his caliber. Overall, thank you very much Rich for helping us secure our first home!!!!

I found Rich through Zillow and was so lucky I did! If you want someone who knows the market, knows all the ins-and-outs of home purchasing (including financing), and who is responsive and dependable, he is your agent.
I cannot give a higher recommendation; Rich and his team are absolutely wonderful. Rich is truly invested in finding the right home for you. He is patient, extremely knowledgeable, and lightning fast on following up. He is a real gem! I consider him a personal friend at this point.

Rich and his team are incomparable, we could have not gotten through the home buying process without them! As first time homebuyers it was stressful navigating this competitive housing market, but Rich was there every step of the way to make it easy to understand and offer his wealth of insight and knowledge. He is professional, honest, and committed to helping you find not just a house but a home. Even during escrow when we had to be out of town, Rich helped ensure the closing process went smoothly without any delays so that we could close on time upon our return. Rich is truly the best, I would definitely recommend him to anyone in the home buying / selling process!

This is now the 2nd time I have worked with Rich and would recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy hardworking mortgage broker. From start to finish it was a great experience.

Buying a home for the first time is by no means an easy task. I am thankful for the patience and guidance Rich provided. Once I understood the dynamics of buying we found an awesome house. It was in my possession within 14 days!!
Rich is a great guy to work with. He spent many weekends and weekdays with me going from house to house searching for my perfect fit. He also bought me an awesome large screen TV as a house warming gift.
I would recommend you check him out if your looking for your next home.

Hands down, the best Agent we've had the pleasure of working with. From the moment we first met with him, till Escrow was closed, Rich and his team were on top of things and answered every question we had. He leveraged whatever resources he had available to get potential buyers in the door. And it worked! Our prior Agent didn't advise us properly on how to price our home, relative to the market. Which led to us reducing price multiple times. Not to mention it ate up precious time as well. Rich came right in, gave it to us straight, and I'm sure glad we trusted his expertise. We went from our house sitting on the market for months with the prior Agent, to getting an offer in a matter of a week with Rich!
Thank you so much Rich! We have a new agent for life!

Rich made our first-time home buying a great experience. With his pro-activeness and expertise, Rich kept us informed with every process and continued to follow-up with us and everyone else involved in the transaction. We also received a breakdown of our financing options which was comprehensive and transparent. My wife and I are grateful for his help and commitment and we look forward to working with Rich again in the future!

Rich Frattalone helped us sell a condo in the SDSU area. He was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and got us offers above asking price within two days of posting the sale He also gave us great advice in the closing negotiations. We give him our highest recommendations.

I have known Rich for the last 10+ years. I have used him every time for my mortgage needs whether it was a refi or a new purchase. He was able to get me a mortgage on a litigation property when no one else was able to help. That ended up being a great investment for me.
He always gets me the best rates and trust me I shop him around. He has always given me good advise when it comes to making decisions on the points that I should buy and when not too. Always transparent and looking for my best interest.
I live in the Bay Area and have never meet Rich in person but I won’t trust anyone else with my mortgage needs.
I don’t usually write reviews but Rich definitely deserves it for all of the extra time he has to spend dealing with me :)

This is my third financial product with Rich. He is a patient, super hard-working friendly professional who always gets the job done with the best rates anywhere.
This time I had some real challenges for Rich regarding qualification and approval .... Rich overcame every obstacle and challenge to get us the product we wanted at the best rate out there and no out of pocket costs!!!!
Rich and his team are true partners in helping you get innovative financial products at great rates and terms.
I have done all the comparisons for 20 years and Rich wins so just go to him.

I just bought my first house. Funded officially today. It was quite a wild process because of Covid and being self-employed. There were a few moments where I felt like I was going to lose it. But Rich steered me through expertly and managed to keep a balance between the lender, the sellers, and my best interests. We won out against multiple offers and I am in love with the house. Also loved that he has knowledge on both real estate and lending. Great experience.
