Rick was an outstanding realtor!! He was very professional, responsive, and helpful. We never felt pressured to buy a home when house hunting. He would even point the cons of each house which was very helpful. When it came to closing, things couldn’t have gone smoother. I would recommend Rick to anyone!!!

Rick helped me buy a new home and sell my current home. He went above and beyond even giving me contacts to do some “pre-sale” updates, and providing valuable guidance on everything from financing to carpet selection. You can count on Rick to be personal, professional and patient.

Rick got our house sold in 3 days and for more than asking price. What I appreciate most about Rick is his ethical approach to real estate. You don’t always find that.

Rick is professional, experienced, and personable. He sold our small condo with the same energy and zeal as if it were a million dollar home. We are truly grateful for his care, wisdom, attention to details, and quick responses to any question or concern. Rick knows the real estate business and the Richmond area exceptionally well. He will be always there for you, whether buying or selling! He sure was for us. Thank you Rick!

My wife and I recently purchased our first home and used Rick as our real estate agent. He was awesome! Rick was always there for us whenever we had a question or wanted to see a property. He was very honest and upfront about everything. We would definitely recommend using him!

Rick Stockel is absolutely amazing! Using a realtor that has significant social media presence may seem great in the beginning, but when it comes to pointing out the structural details of a home that could have a significant impact on your longevity within the home, your going to want a realtor with honesty and experience. I personally decided to go with Rick because he is a full-time realtor with over 25 years of experience in the field, and most importantly, he took pride in being an honest realtor. As a first-time homebuyer (now homeowner), Rick made it his mission that I learned something new from every home that we viewed. Buying a home during the pandemic came with its own challenges, but Rick always reminded me to not rush the process, but to trust that the right home was out there for me. I am so happy that I went with a realtor that sought my best interest over their own financial gain. Rick has truly become a friend to me and my family. Thank you so much, Rick!

Side note: When my parents had issues with their roof and HVAC system, he recommended a few of his trusted connections to assist with rectifying the problems. He went above and beyond being just a realtor and his experience and character shows for it. Thank you again!

We can't recommend Rick enough! As first time home buyers we weren't sure what to expect - Rick was great from our initial meeting to closing. Communication was prompt, he was informative throughout the entire process and offered his professional insight along the way. We'll be using him again for any future real estate needs.

We just bought and closed on a house through Rick, and went with him on the recommendation of a family member. As first time home buyers, we were nervous about diving in without any knowledge up front, but Rick made the process almost entirely painless. He was there every step of the way with answers or feedback, and was responsive to any of our needs even after hours.

From a personality perspective, Rick is friendly and talkative, and he has tons of connections, which is important in such an active housing market. There are lots of other agents and entities involved in a closing that can risk slowing the process down, and Rick was not hesitant to push them along when needed to keep everything on the right timeline.

We had an amazing experience with Rick and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy their next (or first!) home!

We worked with Rick to purchase a home and then several years later to sell the home. He was active listener and always focused on solutions. He thought (and worked) outside of the box to help us find an amazing home in a neighborhood that we loved (he introduced us to Stratford Hills). When we decided to relocate, he worked with us to make the best choices to move forward and realize an appreciation on our investment. Beyond his professional guidance, it was truly a pleasure to get to know and work with Rick Stockel. My husband and I recommend him without hesitation as a true professional and an exceptional person!

Rick is the absolute best realtor in Richmond (and nicest person you’ll ever meet). He’s worked with my family for decades as well as several of my friends and none of us will ever work with anyone else. If Rick tells you something, you know it’s true. He’s always looking out for your best interests, while understanding what you value in a home and home-buying experience. Rick is extremely responsive, professional and an all-around good human. He’ll tell you the good, bad, and ugly of every property you consider and each part of the purchasing process. There are no surprises with Rick. Additionally, when you work with Rick, you get access to his extensive network of professionals. We found excellent contractors (and even our lender!) through Rick’s network. They are the best in the business and made our first-time home buying experience smooth and easy. I would recommend Rick to anyone. There’s no one better.

My wife and I have used Rick now for 8 different transactions dating back to 2002, and I can't recommend him enough. He is down to earth, honest and above all realistic. He does a great job of consistently under-promising and over-delivering, which consistently leads to a satisfied customer. His firm belief in and understanding of market forces helps his buyers and sellers tremendously, which is why we keep coming back to him for all of our real estate needs.

Take this last transaction between us, one that was in the works for almost a year and a half as he helped guide me on preparing my mom's house for sale. He was able to get my mom's house sold in a very rural area, with not many comps, in less than 5 days. Going into it, we had a plan for the items that needed to be repaired prior to sale, as well as what tasteful upgrades might get us into a more competitive spot without breaking the bank. Throughout the process Rick helped me identify contractors that could do the work (incredibly hard to find in the labor market these days) as well as kept me abreast of the market and where he thought we could land on pricing. Without Rick's contacts, help and guidance, my mom's house may have never sold but once again Rick's process paid off, with multiple competitive offers that concluded with us selling for over asking. Some of that is obviously the market we're in currently, but a lot of that has to do with what Rick brings to the table.

If you're looking for a stand up realtor that knows what it takes to buy and sell homes in all types of areas and real estate markets, Rick is your guy. He prides himself on great customer service, and I can say we've gotten exactly that every time we've used him in a transaction.

I have been working with Rick since I was 23/24 years old and he is literally my forever agent! I have purchased 2 homes with Rick over the past 10 years. Let me tell you why he’s the best:
1. His industry knowledge is unmatched, even down to a home’s construction.
2. He’s a straight shooter - he will not let you buy junk & he’ll tell you if it’s a bad buy
3. His Brand - Rick is well known within the real estate industry & that network may help you get the house!
4. Character - Rick is just an amazing person overall. He is caring, kind, thoughtful, and ethical. I promise you after it’s all said and done, he’ll be more than your agent, he’ll be your friend.

Rick is one of my favorite people & is now a family friend. I’m glad to have had the opportunity to know him & work with him. Thanks for everything Rick, until next time!

I did not buy a home with Rick, but I did call him in regards to starting a career in real estate and he not only provided me with invaluable information, but took the time out of his Saturday afternoon to help educate me on the best route to take with getting into realty. He was informative, polite, professional and a huge help on getting me onto the right track. I can only imagine how buying a home through him would be, and I am so thankful for his time. You cannot go wrong with Rick in any capacity and I hope to be able to be as professional and kind as he is one day.

Rick is professional, polite and very knowledgeable, but most important he tells you exactly what to expect during each aspect of selling your home, not just what you want to hear. He is as honest as anyone can be. He always keep us abreast of any information we needed to know, to make our closing smooth and uneventful! I have used Rick in the past and I will continue to use him in the future. If you need a great agent, look no further, you found the right person!

He is very professional while simultaneously being down-to-earth and relatable. Additionally, he was always very responsive to texts, phone calls, emails, etc. especially when it mattered most in critical situations. He's an overall great person to work with and represent you in purchasing or selling your home. I highly recommend him to anyone, regardless of how big or small a home you're looking for.

Rick is an exceptional Realtor! We first worked with Rick in 2010 when he sold our house quickly and for full price when the housing market had not recovered from the Great Recession. At the same time, Rick also represented us as a buyer's agent, finding the perfect home for our family. When it became time to sell again, we knew Rick would take great care of us, and he didn't disappoint. Rick once again sold our house quickly and for well over asking price. Rick is kind and ethical, intelligent and so easy to work with. I am sorry we are moving out of this market because Rick has spoiled us over all other agents.

Rick catches shoddy repairs, missing documents, and impending bidding wars. Steered us a clear of the first, kept us out of the last while still getting us a fair price. Always has a back-up plan and works at your pace, too. Also really pleasant to work with. There's a reason this guy gets repeat customers!

We can’t say enough positive things about our experience with Rick Stockel. A long trusted realtor of my husband’s family, he made our move to Richmond better than we could have imagined.

First, Rick is extremely responsive. He never lets an email or text go unanswered and always responds extremely promptly. Second, he understands the market and the importance of making a smart investment. He’s honest and really guided us when a home was overpriced or would be difficult to re-sell. He always supported us while ensuring we knew all the facts and would be happy with our decision long term which was very important to us. Finally, his knowledge of the Richmond area, neighborhoods along with his local network were invaluable. He’s been in this area so long and really has the inside knowledge only years of experience can bring. Plus when it came time for inspection and repairs, he always had someone he could call who was responsive, quick, knowledgeable and fair priced.

In the end, he helped us find a home we couldn’t be more pleased with and at a price we could be really proud of. We know we’ll be happy for years to come but should we ever want to invest again would work with Rick in a heartbeat and couldn’t recommend him more strongly.

I cannot say enough fantastic things about Rick Stockel. Rick guided my husband and I (first time home buyers) from the start to finish of the home buying process and led us to our dream home. Not only is he incredibly professional, readily available, and a wealth of knowledge, but he goes above and beyond to provide the absolute best service to his customers. Whether you’re first time home buyers, current home owners looking to buy or sell - you won’t find a better realtor out there than Rick! I will never use another realtor or send my friends to anyone other than Rick for all their real estate needs. Thank you Rick for not only being an invaluable resource for us, but a true friend and trusted partner throughout our home buying process!

Rick was great! He was very attentive and was always looking out for my best interest. As a first time home buyer Rick was happy to explain the process of buying a property and answer any questions. Rick is honest and transparent about how he feels about property's value, resale value, location, condition, and fit for your needs. He is flexible with times and locations while also being readily available to meet or talk to about any matter. Rick deserves five stars, no doubt. I am thoroughly happy with the services he provided and could not recommend a realtor any more!

With having a window of 60 days to close on a house or end up paying a full year's rent and, possibly, having a mortgage, Rick helped us find a house that met our "needs and frills." He steered us away from over priced homes and ones that wouldn't have a great resale value should we once again have to move to another state. He returned calls and emails promptly. He was truly working for us the entire time We have worked with realtors seven different times and Rick gets our 5 star rating!

My husband and I are first-time home buyers, and Rick greatly exceeded all our expectations and hopes for a realtor. We needed someone who would be extremely patient with us and respect our decisions in making the biggest financial commitment of our life. Additionally, we needed someone who was extremely knowledgeable about the market and economics in order to help us understand the true value of the homes we were considering.

We were on our housing search for six months until we found the right fit, and that involved us changing our minds numerous times on location, style of house, etc. In all that time, we never felt pressured or that we were being unreasonable in our requests. Rick was consistently encouraging and we could easily contact him. He promptly responded to our texts, calls, and emails.

Once we found the right house and it came time to make a purchase, Rick was proactive and walked with us every step of the way to ensure that we were confident in our decisions.

Lastly, to top it all off, Rick was extremely personable. My husband and I could relate to him in so many ways. We are grateful for how he treated our two young children with such kindness, just as though he was a part of our family.

Thank you, Rick, for your commitment to us and our family.

Rick is an excellent real estate broker. As buyers, and FL real estate agents ourselves who are new to the Richmond area, we were very impressed with his wealth of knowledge of the various local areas, as well as his extensive real estate experience, and keen attention to detail in all aspects of our buying process. Rick is extremely honest, reliable, personable, punctual, and accessible; everything a buyer or seller should expect from a real estate professional. From emailing potential properties in the beginning to showing us many homes we chose to see, and throughout the contract to closing process, Rick made our home purchase easy and successful. We would recommend him to any buyer or seller in the Richmond area!
