Rick Smith

RIS Media magazine named Rick Smith of John L. Scott one of the nation’s top 50 Realtors on the Rise! Rick was nominated for recognition by Mona Spencer, managing broker at John L. Scott, Redmond because of his life experience, his business acumen and “the way that he treats people with the best service imaginable.” When they asked Rick what clients should demand from him or any reputable realtor, Rick said “someone they can believe in—references come a long way.” And “every transaction is a journey you have to see through, from beginning to end. You must have total complete trust (in a realtor) in this kind of market.” Smith emphasized, “Some people only hear what they want to hear, but you need to be realistic in a realistic marketplace. It’s never an all-on or all-off thing, so realtors have to be ready to ride the waves and be sensitive to clients’ fortunes good or bad.”
