Richard went above and beyond for us. From getting us in to see a bunch of homes to making sure we always knew what was happening during the homebuying process, he was just amazing to work with. We were first-time buyers, so we had a lot of questions, but Richard was always ready and willing to help us make sense of a complicated process. Can't say enough about how much better he made this whole experience. We ended up in a great home with his help. Extremely grateful and fortunate to have had him take sure great care of us.

Richard helped us find a house that met our needs. It is a new build in a planned community. It then took a year for the house to be finished, including several missed deadlines and changes from the builder and the city zoning people. Richard was proactive in contacting all the people who had information important to us. He talked us through all of the decisions we faced along the way. The experience with the seller/builder was unbelievably frustrating, and Richard was an invaluable resource every step of the way. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

Richard is fantastic to work with! He’s an expert in his field and knows how to play the game. He gave us guidance in writing the offer on our house as well as selling that made us come out favorable on both sides of the transaction.

Richard marketed our house well and we were able to get multiple offers to drive up the price.

Richard was very prompt in all communication with us. He was waiting on responses from other realtors at times but always relayed the info as soon as he had. He’d text us that we have an offer coming through. Then email it to us and call us to explain what was in them.

Richard has been our realtor for many years, and his level of service is unparalleled. From day one he helped me and my husband see beyond our own levels of understanding and it is because of him we found the house of our dreams. He is honest in his dealings, extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market, and will always work to help his clients be in the best home for their wants and needs. I cannot say enough about his excellent level of communication throughout the process. There was never a moment when he was not available for me or my husband, often times explaining things twice when we couldn't all be on the phone at the same time. While we settled on the home we wanted quickly, the deal itself took some work. Richard went above and beyond any expectations I could ever have from a realtor and was critical in the successful financing for our home. The home-buying process can be overwhelming and frustrating at times for the buyers, but Richard was always the voice of reason and reassured us of the process. He communicated daily about the process, checked in often to make sure any questions we had were being addressed, and connected us to trusted professionals when additional input was required. He even arrived on moving day to make sure we were getting settled and all had gone well. Richard is truly an amazing realtor and I recommend him to anyone!

Had many yrs of experience. Had been a broker himself in the past. Worked on legislative bills to help the industry. An alk round great guy.

Dale was great. Didn't give up on us and stayed with us until property was sold.

Dale was the perfect agent to work with us.

Richard was good to help if Dale had a conflict.

If we were in the market to but or sell we would use Dale Kemp again.

If you are looking to buy, sell, or just talk to a Real Estate Agent, you will not go wrong working with Richard Kemp. He truly understands this market and helps you look at things that you would not think of. Richard makes you feel that your needs are very important and worth his time, which is rare in the world we live in. When my fear of purchasing would creep in occasionally, he would talk me off the ledge and help me see all the great benefits I will have being a homeowner.
I move into my first home in September and I can't thank Richard enough for all of his guidance and encouragement! He is now considered family!

I've worked in the real estate field for over 15 years, and initially I was reluctant to hire an agent to do something I thought I could do myself. I am SO, SO relieved that I questioned that thinking and hired a professional!

Selling a home is about SO much more than just listing it. There are COUNTLESS details on the back end - details that I didn't have to bear the weight of because of Richard's skilled assistance. From negotiating with interested parties, to scheduling (MANY) showings, to giving sound advice about what changes were needed to help the home show well - as well as what changes were NOT required - to navigating hiccups with inspection reports, buyer financing, weighing the benefits of multiple offers, etc . . . there were SO MANY times when I received updates on these fronts and mentally gave myself a high five for having the good sense to hire a professional to take care of things.

I am absolutely confident that I would have taken financial hits - on inspection negotiations, when dealing with multiple offers with different and complicated financing options, and on a number of other items. At one point, my buyers had a potential issue with their financing. Richard was able to work with them and resolve the problem, so that by the time he told me about it it was a non-issue and I didn't have the stress of wondering if my sale was falling through right as I was in the middle of closing on another home.

Moving is a tiring process physically AND emotionally. Because of Richard’s help, a HUGE chunk of the stress was taken off of my shoulders. He gave me advice about what needed to be done, helped me prioritize, gave pep talks when needed, and took probably HUNDREDS of calls inquiring about the availability of the home. He remained accessible to me, but also knew exactly when to let things rest and back off. He was patient with my questions, and I never once felt hurried or pushed on his end.

As a single mom with two kids and a career, my time is limited. Richard has been the key not feeling as though I’m in it on my own, and he ALWAYS has my best interests in mind. So grateful for him, and would recommend him 1000% any time, any day.

As a first time home buyer I had many questions and needed step by step information. Richard is extremely knowledgeable, approachable, personable, generous with his time and willing to answer any and all questions that I had. His ability to work well with a variety of personalities and in varied situations will benefit you greatly in the home buying experience. His no nonsense approach throughout the process put me at ease. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Richard made it as straightforward and painless as possible. He made the experience enjoyable, I highly recommend him.

My parents were very impressed with Richard in buying and selling previous properties.

Richard is very on the ball. He listens and follows through very well. I felt like he was on my team throughout the entire process.

Richard has a strong personality which is very helpful for his work and what he needs to do to perform. He is very in control of his personality and acts extremely professional at all times.

I didn't have much contact with other broker staff as Richard is very hands on through the whole process

Great overall experience. Highly recommend.

Mr. Kemp while being very professional and knowledgeable, was also very personable and made the whole process enjoyable. He was also ready to help with whatever we needed and when we received multiple offers, he was there to go through them with us and helped identify the one that worked for us the best.

I would certainly work with Richard Kemp again and highly recommend him to friends and family. He was always available to answer our questions. He gave us valuable advice that helped us get great offers on our home. It sold very quickly with no problems.

Richard Kemp was referred to us by a friend and we have enjoyed working with him. He has a fun personality that is approachable and easy to get along with. My husband and I have never sold a home before we met Richard and he gave us a lot of good advice. He's a great guy

Richard has been a friends for years, and we knew we could trust him in helping us to find the right home for us. He was very quick in responding to all of our questions and needs. He explained things well and always provided us opposing views to help us make our decisions. He is extremely knowledgable in the entire aspect of the home buying process and his help and feedback were very valuable. We appreciated his help and attention to detail every step of the way, and especially how quickly he helped this process move along. We will certainly recommend him to our friends!

Richard Kemp did exactly what I hoped he would do for me. He showed the home many, many times and brought me several offers from which to choose. He communicated clearly and accurately throughout the engagement. He was knowledgeable and friendly. I would use him again. My experience was very, very good.

I chose Richard because I have been friends with him for a long time and I knew him to be an honest guy who I could trust and depend on. He was always available when I needed him and if he couldn't answer his phone he would call me back immediately. He was very dependable and did a great job getting my place sold.
