Rick's Reviews
8/19/25Carolyn Norris
We have purchased two homes in McHenry County with the team of Rick Bellairs and Tessa Jania. You need only read their biographies and glowing reviews to get an accurate picture of what an exceptionally well-qualified and experienced team they are. In addition, they are kind, thoughtful, and meticulous.
For our first purchase, we were just lucky to have chosen Rick to be our agent. We came to appreciate his teammate Tessa as well. From that experience forward, we will always work with this special team.
Sometimes in life the right people come along at just the right time. For our move to McHenry County for retirement, the right people were Rick Bellairs and Tessa Jania. Highest possible recommendations from us.
