" My wife, Sally, and I worked with Rick for over a year and one-half to find the right home in Richmond. We lived in Northern Virginia so it was a two hour trip each way to visit a potential site which made scheduling and thorough research high priorities in a tight Housing Market. There were covid restrictions and concerns as well. Rick was very responsive and considerate of our time and needs. He is the consummate professional in addition to being a caring and thoughtful person who we thoroughly enjoyed working with. The market was red hot and very challenging but Rick steered us through to a happy ending. I recommend Rick without any hesitation and with confidence that any client will receive the same outstanding service we did. "

" Hi Rick: We appreciate you including us in your email distribution. At this time you have done an outstanding job in finding the right retirement home for us. Most clients probably would take a shorter time to find the right place. Fortunately you had the patience to stick hang in there through good and bad times and put up with our objectives. The big plus you have is "Customer Relationship". After spending time with you and Josh you made us feel like one of the family. On the humorous side you reacted to our desire to buy a new house. You took to every nook in Richmond to show us what was available and determine our real needs. Not only did we see a lot of houses but we consumed a lot of sweets. You were kind enough to always be available when we wanted to come to Richmond to look at houses. You also burnt up a sizable fuel bill from the drives to far off places. The speed on the return trip probably burnt more gas. While some of the houses were beautiful we needed your help to get up the driveway. We were so enchanted by a house in Centerville that we put in an offer. Had we bought it we would be suffering from the steep driveway and steps to the porch. You introduced us to the community by giving us directions in terms of landmarks at which to turn e.g. the library or the school. I know you were not looking for this response from us but our association with you has been superb. We enjoyed the long hunt which you found the right property for us. Thanks for your support Cheers Enid & Don Don Park1024 Belva Court Glen Allen VA 23059804.918.7754 "

" We are very glad that we chose Rick and his team to sell our home as well as find a new 55+ home for us. After we decided to stage our home in order to take the proceeds to buy our new one Rich enabled us to sell our house the first day that a beautiful incredible video of it went on line. We had 5 visits that day and 3 people offered bids higher than the listed price. He went the extra mile in advertising our property. He did everything possible to have things move smoothly along and responded quickly to every concern and question we had. We had confidence in his wide experience and know that we are fortunate in having chosen him in helping us make the transition from our home of 44 years to a brand new new one in an area we are familiar with. We give him and his team a 5 star rating. "

" Rick Perkins was so unbelievable great to work with He was gracious and made sure things were always in order and reaching out to us about things that had to be done.

I wish I could give him higher then a 5 star because he truly deserves it ! "

" It had been a long time since we sold a house but we really wanted to downsize. Realtor Rick Perkins determined our wants and needs then recommended some workmen a cleaner a stager and a photographer who all did professional timely and surprisingly inexpensive work to present our home online to potential buyers. He also preserved mask and distancing precautions to protect everyone from the virus. To develop interest before the live listing Rick used the "Coming Soon" feature online. The first family who saw our home bought it for more than the asking price! Wow! Then Rick led us through an effortless (for us) closing process. We could not have asked for more and highly recommend Rick to sell your home quickly and safely. We would use his services again. "

" I am a very happy homeowner and can't say enough good things about Rick. It was time for me to downsize. It had been thirty years since buying a home with my husband. Now alone I needed help and someone to represent me in the house hunting/buying process. Not sure how I found Rick in this whole process but he was perfect. He listened to what I wanted and needed for my final move to age in place. He directed me to houses/condos that fit closest to what I was looking for in all areas so I could make an educated choice and the best decision for me. He was not pushy and I felt no pressure from him to buy. Once I found the "perfect free standing condo" for me he negotiated with the sellers looked out for my best interest and guided me all the way through the purchasing process. The sellers even told me "boy has he got your back". He thought of everything and I could not have done this without him. Rick was wonderful and I would never shop or buy a house without a buyers agent and this man is one of the best. I give him an A+ and highly recommend him! "

" We moved from NoVA to RVA with little prior knowledge of the Richmond area. We were fortunate to locate Rick through an on-line search, and after a phone conversation we decided to have him guide our housing search. We were not disappointed. Rick gave us a great orientation to the area and patiently guided us through a variety of options that would meet our needs. We ultimately decided to build a new home in one of the developments he led us to, a process that spanned more than a year. Rick stayed with us through the entire process, providing a lot of useful guidance and making what could have been a stressful process enjoyable. We highly recommend Rick and will certainly turn to him again, if and when we sell our home. "
