My wife and I were first time home buyers. Rico did an excellent job helping us navigate the process of buying a house. He was kind, patient, and willing to answer all of our varied questions.

I think one particular thing stood out during our search. My wife flew out to Sacramento to put together a short list of houses. She worked with Rico for 2 days. On the first day, Rico learned quite a bit of what my wife was looking for and by the second day almost all of the houses had more of her preferred features. That’s just an amazing attention to detail and excellent listening!

We have bought two homes with Rico now and both times went very smoothly. He was always available for viewings and answering questions. Once we found a home, he was very helpful in navigating the purchase process. He also was very helpful with selling our previous home. He nailed the sales price and we had a cash offer in a matter of days. If you are buying or selling a home, I highly recommend you use Rico. You won’t be disappointed.

My partner and I were able to buy our first home because of Rico! He made the process as graceful as he could for us, explained every step of the way, and went above and beyond. He ensured we did not get lost in the cracks and helped us reach our destination. We are so grateful for Rico and the time he invested to ensure we got our home.

Rico went above and beyond to help us find our first home. He was very attentive and helpful, we felt very comfortable when it came to asking questions. He made sure we understood everything throughout the process of purchasing our home. We loved that he always was checking with us to see how we were doing and if we needed any help. Even after closing and signing all the paperwork, he still helped us with an issue that came up with the water heater!
We’re very thankful for all you did for us. Thank you, Rico!

As a first time homebuyer I was looking for programs to help support me in the process. This was how I came across Rico who happens to be a part of the program Homes for Heroes. A program which partners with realtors to give back to community heroes including those like myself who are a part of the teaching profession. I was hesitant to work with someone who was a complete stranger to me however Rico's expertise and communication quickly put me at ease. Rico explains the entire process and is extremely responsive. He helped me every step of the way and made my homeownership dream a reality. I am so grateful to Rico and the program for being a part of this journey with me. Si se pudo!

We were really just browsing homes in the Sacramento area, knowing we wanted to buy eventually but not sure when or where. We changed our minds (many times) and Rico would just smile and change course with us. After an offer was accepted, things went extremely fast, all inspections and appraisal completed within a few days and closing in 10 days! We can’t recommend Rico enough and will use him for any future real estate needs!

Where do I begin? I hope my character count isn't maxed out.

I met Rico, informally, through my neighbor and instantly knew he KNEW all things Real Estate. *Full disclosure: I have been in the mortgage lending side of this industry as an Underwriter for over a decade.* I was in the process of listing my house with another realtor when I was graced with his awesome, knowledgeable personality.

Unfortunately, I found myself needing a better, way more experienced realtor around the time Rico and I met. So, I contacted him immediately to ask if he could help me sell, and before I realized it, Operation: Sell Lauren's House ASAP was in the works!

Rico is GOOD at proving his title as Realtor. And, owning his own real estate company speaks volumes in supporting that title.

I'm a single mom with a full-time job and, without having to ask him, Rico knew how to provide ME the best "tailored" customer service I needed. He stayed on top of ensuring I was ready for open house, ALL inspections, disclosures upon more disclosures needing signatures, and kept a comfortable, open, and respectful line of communication going with all parties involved.

In addition, he proved that he CARES AND LOVES his career! He really WORKS for his clients. Real estate is the ONLY asset that appreciates long-term, so it should be treated with care, experience, and efficiency, when needed.

I can go on and on about this amazing person who saved me with selling my house, and who I now am grateful to be able to call a good friend and colleague. Thank you again, "Rico The Realtor".

Through happenstance, I met Rico at the same time I was looking to purchase my first home. When he took my call a few days later while out of town on personal business to discuss programs specifically tailored to people in my situation, I knew he was the one I wanted to work with on such a life changing decision.
Rico always made me feel like I was his top priority. As a first time homebuyer, I had endless questions about everything from the lending process, inspections, how offers work and everything in between. He was communicative and patient with all of my questions, and made sure that I fully understood the content of his answers without ever making me feel like a burden. When touring homes, he was informative about the neighborhoods, building designs, and and was quick to point out possible issues in the houses I was considering, which 20+ years of knowledge and experience in the Sacramento market has afforded him. I never felt rushed or pushed into a position that was outside of my budget.
With Rico’s strong reputation within the Sacramento real estate community, I was able to purchase my first home against competing offers in the same range. His team was able to close my deal faster than the competitors. I’m typing this in my new home and I owe it all to him. Rico has earned my trust and business for as long as he’ll have it and I would not hesitate to recommend him to friends and family as well.
Thank you Rico!

We are BEYOND grateful for Rico, he is hands down the most helpful, kind, honest, and family oriented agent. He was always available when we called or text to answer our questions. We felt confident that he would take care of any concerns we had and he DID. He always showed he cared and was genuinely happy to help us get the house we dreamed of, he did everything in his power to make sure nothing got in the way of getting our home. We rented this house when my youngest child was 6 months old and 17 years later we are now proud owners. Rico is definitely the agent I will highly recommend to all my family and friends because it's not just business for Rico, it's personal and he genuinely cares about helping families reach the dream of homeownership.

I worked Rico to sell my home due to a divorce and he.was able to turn a difficult situation into a positive and uplifting experience; that fostered nothing but hope and embracing change. Rico goes out of his way to encourage and reassure this is a team effort. I honestly believe his direction and professionalism helped mend alot of communication issues my ex spouse and gave us a future filled with mutual respect. He was an advocate for both our personal interests individually....and fierce when protecting our end of the deal.

His experience, knowledgeablity and compassion make him the only choice I will ever make again in real estate..

Rico is one-of-a-kind! He is extremely kind, prompt, organized, and wise. He helped us find our dream home fast. Although we were out of state as we searched for a home in the Sacramento area, he made himself fully available to help as needed and spent a huge portion of our short visit with us touring several homes and ultimately helping us find our dream home.

Rico was fantastic and we couldn't have asked for a better agent. He spent a long weekend with us looking at numerous homes and provided invaluable insight into each. After our offer was accepted, he guided us through an accelerated and complicated escrow process. He was extremely prompt in his responses and always kept us informed on the status of our purchase. Perhaps, the best thing I can say about Rico is that we always felt like we had a friend that had our best interests in mind throughout our home buying process. If you are looking for an agent, call Rico first and don't bother going any further.

Working with Rico was amazing! From finding homes that met our criteria, to communicating with the realtor selling our previous home (in the middle of finding a new home in Elk Grove) to finalize all the documents.

We just closed on our first home and the single best decision we made in this process was choosing Rico as our realtor. Rico is knowledgeable, confident, friendly, and skilled at negotiations as well as every other aspect of the homebuying process. He made us feel like we were his highest priority client by always being available and addressing all our questions and concerns thoroughly and expediently. We can’t imagine ever choosing another realtor, so it feels great knowing that if and when we ever decide to sell our house, we already have our guy.

We can’t recommend Rico enough! As first-time home buyers, we were given the advice to find someone with the heart of a teacher who is willing to take the time to guide you through the home buying process. Additionally, to find someone who is experienced in the market. Rico was all that and more! He is kind, honest, knowledgeable, and attentive. With his help (and reputation), we were able to beat out 30+ offers to secure the starter home of our dreams — on the first offer! We never felt lost or like were being strung along. He also connected us to his perfect team (lender included) and we closed escrow in *less* than 21 days. We will recommend Rico to anyone who is looking to start their own home buying journey. He’s the man for the job!

Rico did an outstanding job from beginning to end. Rico started out with pointing out what may need to be done to get the most value for our home. Once this was completed, the home went onto the market. We had a great response and had several offers way over asking. We accepted an offer and had the money from our home soon after. Everything went smooth with the help of Rico.

Rico was very responsive and patient with any and all question we had. We not only sold our home, but we went into contract with buying a new home right around the same time. Rico is honest, professional, responsive, and helped my wife and I in every part of the process.

Any questions I had he answered them, found resources for me, and/or put me in communication with someone could, all without looking down on me for not being so knowleable about the terms used in regards to home buying, etc. His assistance with guiding through the home buying process did not just stop at the close of escrow, he continues to be there for his clients and provides resources as needed.

My family was referred to Rico by a realtor friend in the family to navigate purchasing our first home. He proved to be accommodating with our schedules to view several homes we wanted to explore as they hit the market. Sometimes with only a days notice and he kept a good line of communication. We had a very sensitive time-line as we were expecting a baby early July and our loan type had it's own hurdles as well as our expectations and wants out of a home. Finally, nearly 20 homes viewed, our third offer was accepted and we closed escrow early this month as promised. Throughout this process, Rico was professional and personable. Officially becoming homeowners and keys being handed over his added gestures only added to the experience that much more ! He's remained helpful offering references in which we've used since becoming homeowners and continues to reach out, text, say hi, follow our renovation progress and we look forward to him remaining in contact and joining along with his family for our house warming. Isn't that what you want when doing business with someone when buying your home?! It is for us! Thanks again, Rico Rivera!

We had already found the home we wanted to purchase and begun discussions with the seller when we brought Rico in to help. During escrow, the deal became very problematic, but Rico’s dedication, creativity, and constant focus was able to salvage the deal.
Rico was forced to do all of the seller’s agents work for him, but he did it all with a smile on his face, utilizing his connections and resources to overcome every obstacle that presented itself.
Without Rico, the deal would have fallen through, but now we are the owners of our dream home.

I would have to agree with most of the reviews here that a 5 star rating doesn’t do Rico any justice. My situation for selling the house was difficult and required Rico to go beyond his duties as a real estate agent. What would have been a stressful time for me was negated by the fact that Rico jumped at every opportunity to make it as smooth as possible. He was always willing to lend a hand and even helped me move stuff out of the house when I needed it—definitely not something I would expect from an agent. I highly recommend using Rico and his awesome team!

He never once made us feel rushed when looking at homes and we felt like he had our best interest in mind. Rico was available and if he wasnt goin to be, he let us know ahead of time. I would definitely recommend him and his team to friends and family for home buying needs. We feel like we developed a friendship and we found a home we love. Thankyou Rico!

Rico is an agent who truly cares about his customers. He helped my husband and I purchase our first home in Elk Grove, CA. He made the process easy and stress free. We even closed within 30 days! Rico was there every step of the way! He was available evenings, weekends, and even early mornings to assist with questions. Rico has tons of experience, advocates for his clients and truly values each person. I would definitely recommend him in the future!

5 stars are not enough to rate Rico. He is not just an agent, he is a new friend who educated us about what it means to be a new home owner, helped us discover the entire city of Sacramento and decide the neighborhood in which we wanted to live, took care of us and our interests in each new step we took. He taught us strategies to make a strong offer to get the house we wanted, and he gave us even emotional support at times when some circumstances were not in our favor. I could continue to make an endless list of reasons why I would recommend Rico, but I must continue painting my new home. Thank you Rico for making this possible.

Having Rico as a Realtor was the best decision we made. As a first time home buyers, we needed someone with experience and that were able to provide guidance during the process at this important time of our lives, and he did it in the best way possible. He is super attentive, he really cares about providing a 5 starts customer service, but actually he goes beyond that. Definitely Rico is someone that you want to have in your team, at the end of the day, you and the realtor are a team working for the same goal, and he makes everything so much easier. 1000% recommended! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Rico is a very knowledgeable realtor, attentive person, and great human being. He helped us around for about a month trying to land that dream place. We were finally able to spot a great place and he walked us through the process until we were able to get that place. Follow his advices and you'll be able to get the home you want. I highly recommend him to anyone.
