Richard's professionalism, impartiality, objectivity, and patience shone through every step of the process, making it an absolute pleasure to collaborate with him.

If you're in the market for a residential or investment property, I highly recommend reaching out to Richard. His thorough research and preparation are truly commendable, and he goes above and beyond to educate his clients before they make such a significant decision. His dedication to ensuring his clients are well-informed and comfortable with their choices is unparalleled.

I wholeheartedly endorse him for all your property needs.

We had a great experience with Richard. He showed us approximately a dozen condos in MPLS and we ended up purchasing a unit on Lake Bde Maka Ska through him. During the process there were snags and issues that popped up including an upcoming special assessment and needed repairs in the unit. Throughout the purchase process, Richard expertly guided us through those issues and assisted us in obtaining a very favorable deal, all the while working closely with the Seller's agent. He was always patient and professional with us, never pushy or insistent. I highly recommend him.

Richard was very attentive and helpful. He worked closely with us before we arrived in town to physically look at options. Also, because we were coming from out of town, we didn't know alot about the numerous Minneapolis neighborhoods. He showed us viable options, condos and homes and still, he used our limited time very efficiently. Once we decided to make an offer and following its acceptance, Richard assisted us through to closing. He was a great resource and we would recommend him to any home buyer.

We could not have had a better experience working with Richard. He was incredibly easy to get a hold of and an excellent communicator. Excellent customer service. Provided an excellent recommendation for a contractor to help with work upon move in. The cutest welcome package upon the close of our new home. Highly recommend

We worked with Richard to find a condo for our daughter. A knowledgeable low pressure realtor, he was easy to work with during the process. He researched any questions we asked and would respond whenever we reached out to him. We highly recommend him.

Richard helped us so much with our house search. He was endlessly patient, knowledgeable, and worked at our pace. He really made our search possible and we wouldn't have the house we wanted without him.

Expert navigation of the downtown real estate markets in both Minneapolis and Saint Paul - and a joy to work with along each step of the way. He makes the process smooth, and works to smooth over any possible challenges that might come around.

I’ve had Richard help me with 3 deals and referred him for a fourth. That should say it all. He’s a great agent.

We were fortunate to work with Richard this summer during both the buying of our condo and the selling of our home. He was professional, knowledgeable, responsive, thorough, helpful, and a "calming presence" through both life changing events. Thanking him with a Google review doesn't seem enough.

We worked with Richard in both the sale of our house and the purchase of a condo, and throughout the process, we appreciated his low key demeanor, rapid response to our questions, patience, and attention to detail and to our wishes. We received an offer well over the market value for our house and found the condo of our dreams, and we'll be glad to recommend him to others.

Richard was so helpful to work with! As a first time home buyer, he gave great advice, was familiar with the market and always friendly. He really listened to what was important to me and helped me find my dream home! Will forever recommend him to anyone looking in or around the Minneapolis area.

Richard was extremely helpful when selling our condo. His knowledge and experience in the market helped us navigate the entire process from staging and photos to managing offers and the sale. We sold our property quickly at our asking price, what more can you ask for?

We first had the pleasure of working with Richard while searching for a downtown condo two years ago. We found him to be friendly, patient and extremely knowledgeable about the area as well as the process from search through closing. When we decided to sell the unit we had purchased, there was not a moments hesitation to list it for sale with Richard as our agent. I would recommend Richard to my family and friends with absolute confidence.

Richard helped us sell our home in Falcon Heights and helped us to buy our condo in the Pinnacle. He knows the market and knows a stager who was very helpful in preparing our house for showing. He communicates via phone, email, and text. He was always accessible for questions and concerns. I recommend Richard as a realtor who wants to see his clients be successful in buying/selling their home.

Richard made the whole process of buying my condo very easy and comfortable. I just moved to Minneapolis from LA with my family and thankfully I had someone like Richard making the whole process a whole lot less stressful. I strongly recommend DRG and specially recommend having Richard be your realtor if you’re looking to buy property in downtown Minneapolis!

Working with Richard was a treat from start to finish. At the start of my loft purchase journey, he took the time time to get to know me and what I was looking for and created a system for getting me the information I needed. When we found the right place, he acted quickly, was a great advocate during the negotiation process, and made the pre-close process a breeze. I was remote throughout my entire home purchase process - first on the East Coast, then working in Asia - and Richard not only made it possible for me to purchase my new home remotely but made me the experience of doing so both seamless and something I felt comfortable with the entire way though. I'd definitely work with Richard again.

Richard Newman has helped our family find homes twice in the last couple of years. Once for my sister who was relocating long distance, and recently for me. The full service offering of DRG, and Richard in particular, is incredible! We look forward to continuing to work with him for our real estate needs over the years.
