"As first-time home buyers, my husband and I could not be happier with the service Rick provided. Rick has great knowledge and understanding of the Bay Area housing market which help to make the purchase of our home extremely smooth.

In addition, Rick was extremely responsive via text, emails, and scheduled phone calls. My husband and I would highly recommend Rick to anyone that is looking to purchase a home." -Jaclyn & Alex

"I cannot say enough positive things about Rick. He helped me with a challenging home purchase. I needed to buy a home for my daughter as part of a 1031 exchange, meaning there were more timelines and details to manage than usual. My daughter is developmentally delayed so we had some unique requirements as to location and the interior. On top of that he took myself, my daughter and my ex-husband, her father, out on several occasions to look at numerous houses, wonderfully accommodating our different personalities and needs. He was incredibly patient, upbeat, empathetic and helpful in all my interactions with him. When we had to break a contract on an offer I made due to changing financial information, he was professional and kind with all parties and kept me updated throughout the stressful process. In the end, we found a great house for her and met all our requirements. As so many have said, he is the epitome of integrity and a kind and good person on top of it! Don't hesitate to hire him. He will do his best for you and that is very, very good!!" -Joan

"Due to changes with my health, it was necessary to sell my home after 35 years. Upon meeting Rick, I immediately liked him and found him easy to talk to, friendly and considerate. I also very much appreciated Rick's patience in fully explaining the process of selling a house and his willingness to listen to all of my concerns, all of which he addressed respectfully and thoroughly. Even though the situation on my end was not at all tech friendly nor an easy environment for us to work in, Rick was very tolerant and very sensitive to my situation. He was extremely good at explaining all the details and procedures to consider before accepting any offers. I also appreciated his willingness to let me make my own decisions without pressuring me or influencing my decision-making.

Rick was detailed, patient, thoughtful, and a great communicator, and we got a great price for our home, guided by Rick's excellent preparation. We had a few bumps on the buyer's side in our sale, and Rick guided everyone fairly and calmly through those developments. We were also remote sellers, and my mom has limited computer skills and access, and Rick accommodated her with no trouble. I would work with Rick again, for sure." -Monte

"Rick did a simply fantastic job helping us sell our home! From the very first day, he gave us a top-level view of the process to set expectations, offered knowledgeable suggestions without pushing us in one direction or another, and communicated very clearly throughout the process. With well timed open houses and market research, he followed through on a sale that obtained an absolute top price for our neighborhood in record time. After accepting our top offer, our buyers repeatedly hit administrative roadblocks and tried to delay closing. Rick was firm but fair in keeping the urgency to close high, providing us with updates every single day and being prepared with alternatives in case the buyers fell through. Last but definitely not least, Rick is one of the nicest and most sincere people you'll meet, a real pleasure to work with him.

"Rick is as good as they get! He is the highest quality of person I know. He cares about his clients as if they were his own family. He will take care of you throughout the entire process of purchasing a home. Diligence, honesty, integrity and hard work are just a few of the words that come to mind when I think about how he carries himself. I'm so grateful for the way that he's helped me to understand the real estate market here in Silicon Valley. There are very few people I would trust with such and important decision like buying or selling a home. Rick is definitely one of those people." -Daniel

"I worked with a Rick while buying for the first time and am now all settled into my condo. From start to finish, working with Rick was very enjoyable! He did an awesome job of explaining all the steps of the process to me, whenever I asked - from pre-approval to what the final papers I signed were about. Every time I had a funny request (mostly: can we check if a gas fireplace can be installed in this condo? And how much would these things cost to fix?) Rick called in a handyman/HFAC person as necessary to get the question answered. During the search itself, Rick never hovered and yet sent some great homes to look at, was always very on point for answering questions, and very successful in getting answers for me out of various HOAs and associated people. When the time came in to put in an offer, Rick’s advice was very on point - my winning offer was neck and neck with the second offer. Rick’s support continued even after I moved in - the carpet store and handyman Rick recommended were amazing! Essentially, once I decided to work with Rick - I didn’t have to look for another contractor of any kind because Rick always had great recommendations. Long story short - Rick made the process of buying a home for the first time almost stress-free and quite fun!" -Sophia

"Rick did an excellent job helping my mom sell her Willow Glen home. He is very knowledgeable about the market, can offer great suggestions about ways to maximize value that are user-friendly, and for the big improvement jobs, can help to streamline an otherwise overwhelming process by suggesting a variety of vendors and procuring competitive estimates to allow the seller plenty of options. He takes so much off of your plate and makes the process as seamless as he can. We didn’t know where to start and he gave us all the tools we needed to get hit the ground running. Additionally, he is very sensitive to your budget and will work with you to improve the things that will give you maximum return without going overboard unnecessarily. He is trustworthy, reliable and a very hard worker. It is worth noting that my mom has some memory issues that impacted her ability to handle all the moving parts that are inevitable in the sale of a home and Rick is uniquely qualified to assist in such a situation, and did so with unexpected diligence, perseverance and care. I cannot overstate this point. Rick went above and beyond to not only take as much of the burden off of her as possible, but did so in such a way that it was clear he genuinely had her welfare at heart. The level of service that he provided was staggering and I cannot thank him enough. When it came to the actual sale of the property, he brought in a handful of highly competitive offers and ultimately got about $250K over the asking price. Rick really delivered in every possible way and I would recommend him as an agent to anyone without hesitation. Thanks for everything, Rick!" -Erin

"Rick Trevino is awesome! He must be the hardest working realtor in town. Our neighbor needed to sell her house, which needed a bunch of fixing up. She is ill and could not handle the projects that needed to get done before sale, so Rick stepped in and oversaw all the work, checked on contractors, stopped by regularly to see how things were going, and even helped load her car when the time came to move out. Without his help her home would have sold for a whole lot less." -Karen

"Rick is a great realtor, he's very kind, supportive and patient. We purchased our house in Saratoga in 2015 with him and he was very professional and supportive throughout all the process of making the offer ( bidding war) and closing. He is very knowledgeable about this area and He was always responsive to all our questions. He even checked on us several times after we moved in. He referred us several contractors for different projects. Overall we were very happy with his service. Don't hesitate to have him to help you to look for your dream house." -Ava

"It was a pleasure to work with Rick Trevino, he helped us in selling a home in the last few months. A charming personality goes with his expertise in real estate. Just what you need to accomplish one of the most important transactions in your life, going the distance from beginning to end with a smile even if there is a hiccup along the way. Although being reluctant to stage the home due to cost, we did, with his referral and it made a huge difference in the showing of the home during open house. He will also look into any unique, out of the normal circumstance and come up with a solution. If you need someone to help you whether you are buying or selling, Rick’s the one to call. Real estate agents are a dime a dozen, so why hire just anyone, when you can hire a special one. Rick can make your experience an easy one with an outstanding outcome." -Annie & Fred

"Rick was available literally 24/7, rain or shine, and it has been raining quite a lot lately if you notice. I still remember his braving the pouring rain at 8:30 p.m. one night, just 5 days after our house went on market, to deliver and walk us through 20 offers, with the top one almost $200K above asking. It was beyond our expectations. All in all, we found Rick to be very professional, effective, and efficient. Although I'm sure he had other clients as well, we always felt like we had 100% of his attention." -David & My Hoa

"Rick helped our son purchase his first home. His knowledge re the area our son wanted to live in, the whole confusing and difficult process of buying was made less stressful because of his help. Rick is always there for you, day or night, so it seemed. I would recommend his service to anyone buying a home." -Dawn

"Rick is an honest guy, he knows the area, and he keeps connected to the communities he works in. I am a teacher and most real estate agents I come across in Sunnyvale, where I teach and live, don't have the knowledge or the interest in the community that Rick does. For a real estate agent to understand the benefit of that is impressive to me. When connecting people to homes Rick is able to provide much more information about the fit of a location to his client due to his connection to the area. He knows what schools have what programs, what areas have what services, what construction is taking place, and what plans are in the works for upgrading infrastructure. This knowledge allows him to go above and beyond the standard realtor for both a buyer and seller." -Daniel

"I have had the pleasure of working with Rick, and I can attest to his honest, good-natured, and driven personality. Not only does he find inventive solutions, but he does so with gusto! I really appreciated the way he respects and listens to his clients. His quality work reflects how much he cares about what he does, and who he works with." - Camila

As an excellent listener he's always considering what that person needs. He's very available for any questions and will go out of his way to help. I appreciate his integrity and real approach to everyone. He'll work hard for your future." -Linda

He is the kind of guy that always goes the extra mile. He always responds to my communication promptly, and carries a balance of being very personal and professional at the same time. He works with great attention to detail and character! So glad to have connected with Rick. Do yourself a favor and let him put his skill to work for you." -Daniel

"An abundance of realtors exist here in the Bay Area, but great realtors are a dime a dozen. My wife and I are very meticulous, and coming from a financial background and service industry, I have very high expectations of those whom I choose to work with. Rick meets every criteria for success; works hard, responsive, determined, and most importantly honest and trustworthy. All qualities everyone should want in a realtor, and Rick delivers on every front.

"I highly recommend Rick to be your real estate agent for buying home. In a sellers market with less inventory, it is too difficult for a buyer to get the right home at right price. Plus, if you are a first time buyer, you wouldn’t be aware of the market, real estate process etc. Rick responds quickly and is very reliable. You don’t need to think twice if Rick is your agent. He is friendly, calm, and understand the needs of the client really well. With Rick, I never felt any kind of pressure to buy home. As a veteran, Rick is also able to answer all questions in regards to dealing with the V.A. I highly recommend Rick to help you with any and all of your real estate needs." -Tim

"Rick is an outstanding, detailed oriented, adaptable professional who you can, with out doubt, trust. His leadership and dedication to providing the right product shine through in his interaction and genuine care and concern for others. If you allow Rick the opertunity of your business, you will not be let down." -Justin

"The purchase and/or sale of a home is typically the single biggest investment you will make in your life. Don't trust it to just any agent or any firm...it's too important. It is important that you work with an agent that is backed by a firm like Intero and Berkshire Hathaway. When you work with Rick you will not only find that but you will find a hard working, honest, sharp agent to represent and your best interest." -Tom

"In our long life we purchased and sold several houses and worked with several real estate agents. It is my and my wife sincere opinion that Rick Trevino is the best among them. Highly professional and highly recommended." -Vladimir & Rita

"After about a year of desperate attempts to buy a condo for my parents in Sunnyvale and failing a few bids we were about to give up. Then we met Rick … He filled our search with determination, dynamics and optimism. We immediately realized that in the seller’s market, the proficiency and dedication of a buying agent can dramatically change the search landscape. Since we were interested in particular properties close to my house, Rick went all the way and wrote something about 50 personal letters to potential sellers. Finally, when one of these properties, went on the market, it was due to his negotiation skills and experience, that we were able to win the bid. He patiently worked us through the painful process of buying the house, from winning the offer to getting the keys. I always felt secure that whatever questions or concerns I had, he would be able to respond as soon as he could. Buying the townhouse next to us, means a lot to my parents and to our whole family. I have no doubt that we owe this to Rick’s proficiency, amazing outgoing personality , energy and dedication." -Betty

"Based on my over thirty four years in lending business and working with so many realtors I found Rick as one of the best when it comes to spending time and sharing thoughts with clients. He does take his valuable time to make sure the buyers and seller are fully aware of the process. He takes extra steps to help them to understand the process. To Rick profit on a transaction is the last thing. Rick takes that important approach to clients with passion. He goes way behind his way to make sure clients get well educated of purchasing and or selling a property process. I personally like him as a good person and very professional." -Joe
