Ratings & Reviews

Macy Burkholder - Morris

Rick was just fantastic on both ends! Always available to answer questions and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we were happy with our choice. Definitely recommend him for buying or selling homes concurrently like we did.

Jeremy Watson

Rick has been great to work with. He sold our house quickly. He is very attentive and worked hard to find as many options that fit our buying needs as he could. He is realistic and honest as well. He helped us step by step through the buying process. Rick will always be our first call when looking for a new home. Thank you Rick!

Richard Tomazic

Richard is by far,hands down the most respectful, charismatic, honest and truthful realtor that me and my family had the pleasure working with.After several failed realtors who cared only about their needs and pocket book. Richard was direct and so responsive. His honesty,flexibility and willingness to find us exactly what suited the needs of our family and not his own needs speaks volumes of this man's character. If you need a realtor I highly recommend Richard! You will not be disappointed. His communication and genuine humility speaks for itself. If you are looking for REAL and Genuine please contact him, you will be glad you Did! He's also very patient TENS ACROSS THE BOARD! THANK YOU RICHARD. MY FATHER CAN REST EASY NOW BECAUSE OF YOU AND YOUR KINDNESS! BRAVO. WE CANT WAIT TO LIVE IN OUR NEW HOME! THANK YOU!

We just closed on our house today. Rick Rutledge was amazing. My husband and I would recommend him to help the stress just disappear. He was always there for us. Thank You So Much Rick

Randy Johnston

This guy has handled the sale of three of my properties in the last 5 months. I have bought and sold over 70 properties and Rich is by far one of the best I've done business with. He always answers his phone or calls back quickly when I need him. I can always count on him fixing any potential issues efficiently. Highly recommend.

Brayan Castillo

Rick made the buying process very easy for us. He was very responsive and always was willing to explain things to us. We were first time house buyers and he navigated this process so seemingly. He was very personable and really got to know us and what we would like. I would definitely recommended him for anyone buying a home!

Daniel Hile

Richard did an outstanding job as our realtor. He was extremely patient with us as we looked at a variety of homes, even after an initial deal fell through and we stepped back from the market for a while. When we were ready to look at a new home again, Richard helped us feel supported through the entire experience. At no time did we feel pressured or uncomfortable. Richard went out of his way to make sure every concern we had was addressed, even after we closed on our new home. I would recommend Richard to anyone who may be looking for a realtor, and we will definitely work with him in the future if we decide to move again!

Jerilyn Miller

Richard was amazing while helping us relocate to Fort Wayne. He made himself available to us any time we needed him, answered all of our questions, and worked so hard to find us exactly what we wanted. He was also very open and honest with us and we felt like he had our best interests at heart. It is our plan to purchase another property sometime in the next year or so and we will definitely be using him again!

Rachel Gumbert

Rick handled the buying and selling of our homes. It was a pleasant experience as he went above and beyond for us. He made sure we were getting the most out of the sale and worked very hard to get us into the perfect home. He was available to answer any questions we had along the way. We were so happy with Rick's service that we recommended him to family and friends.

Christopher L. Haire

Rick helped us out so much with putting our house up for sale. Very honest and took to time to answer all questions and procedures. I loved how he broke everything down and simplified the process. He was very punctual and always to the point. Definitely gets back to you in a hurry to fix any problems that come up.. his work ethic goes above and beyond to make the transition a successful and peaceful manner that you’ll get the right answer to whatever you need to know in the process of selling a house.. definitely highly recommended and will be the 1st I call when we need him for our next journey in life.

Ashley R.

I’ve hired Richard to buy 3 homes and sell 2 over the past 8 years. He always carries the burdens on his own shoulders so that we are as stress free as possible. And, he goes out of his way to ensure that we are satisfied every single time. I wouldn’t trust anyone else.

Kathy Strahm

I first met Richard when he represented the buyer for a house I was selling. I was so impressed with his professionalism and kindness I called him to help me find a house 18 months later. He found the house of our dreams and I couldn’t be happier. There were some issues that came up during the inspection and he kept me calm, explained everything and was always available to answer my questions. He did a great job looking out for our best interest and we got a new roof out of it. I would highly recommend Richard for any of your real estate needs.

June Lee

I am an elderly person and had specific needs. Richard went out of his way to find what would work for me. He would travel wherever the location was and no matter the time or his time he'd find a way to be there. I got just what I wanted and am very pleased. He made the experience from looking at houses to paperwork easy for me. I appreciated his honesty, great patience, and knowledge.

Jamie Sepasert

Very professional and very knowledgeable! Rick is very pleasant to work with and knows his stuff!
