Richard Newton is the gold standard for what a real estate professional should be. I have seen firsthand how he takes it upon himself to assist his clients with tasks and details that fall well outside the traditional scope of buying or selling a home. He brings so much 'extra' to the table, doing so without hesitation and never asking for recognition.

For instance, when a client recently mentioned needing remodeling resources, Richard didn't wait for her to ask for help—he proactively reached out to me to gather information and references on her behalf, simply to make her transition easier. Richard operates with the utmost integrity and a genuine spirit of service. Whether you are hiring him or partnering with him, you quickly realize he is someone who gives 110% simply because it’s the right thing to do.

"Whether you are buying or selling your home, we would highly recommend Richard as your realtor. We needed to sell our home in Capitol Hill, and having Richard's representation exceeded our expectations from start to finish and beyond.
We have bought and sold homes in numerous states throughout the country over the past 30+ years due to relocation, and without exception, Richard was the most professional, knowledgeable, capable, competent, and best realtor we ever worked with.
Richard provided excellent advice throughout the entire process, covering all aspects of marketing and selling our home, which resulted in an immediate offer substantially above the list price. The house sold in 2 days! The listing, offer, and closing could not have gone any better and certainly would not have been as seamless without having Richard as our realtor. We interviewed several realtors, and without a doubt, Richard was nothing short of outstanding. "
