Client Testimonials

Rich was an excellent realtor who went above and beyond our expectations! We have already recommended him to friends and family and will continue to do so. He helped us find our forever home and was determined to sell our current home, and did so rather quickly. We were extremely happy with our decision to work with Rich!

Becky B.

Recently, my mother made the tough decision of selling the house that her and my father raised us three kids in for 30 years. She had attempted or looked into doing this a few times before, but it always broke her heart. This time, with Rich by her side she was able to do it and feel great about it! He was there for her constantly and really added that personal touch you would want. Think about selling a home you have been in for 30 years, you want it viewed as a home, not a house. Rich did that and was really able to help her get through this decision. Thanks again Rich!!!

Amy S.

We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with selling our house. Rich is professional and personable, a rare combination. He took the necessary time to get to know us and then put in the necessary time and effort to get the job done quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. If you need someone you can trust and depend on, Rich is your guy.

I trust Rich Tyson. If you stop reading it was all you needed to know anyhow. As a Creative Director for Advertising I truly value attributes like CREATIVITY and WORK ETHIC. My wife and I hired Rich this year to sell our home. Our home was part of an inventory glut – same price/schools/amenities. Rich never ceased to amaze as his efforts brought MANY people through our home. We had a contract in hand within 3 weeks of listing! I like how he does not discount advertising opportunities such as – Facebook/Twitter/LinkedIN. I appreciate that he asked us to create a video about our home to help in the sale. My family ran with the idea – we made it like MTV Cribs – and it even hit the local news! Rich’s ideas work. If I ever sell again I’m using Rich Tyson. He’s the right choice for us

Rich Tyson is an extraordinary realtor who goes above and beyond to make you feel as comfortable as possible while purchasing your home. Rich is a very personable and straight forward guy who is always a phone call or more conveniently a text away. He does everything with great professionalism, and I would recommend him to anyone who is interested in purchasing a home.

Nicolas D.

Rich is a true professional and excellent realtor. He sold out house in less than 48 hours and helped us purchase our condo. He always returned calls promptly and was able to answer our questions thoroughly. I would highly recommended using rich as your realtor if you want exceptional customer service and someone who is knowledgeable of the housing market.

Mark B.

Being a first time home buyer, I knew next to nothing about buying a home. Rich made the process as easy as possible and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of from the beginning to the very end of the process. He was always available and never missed a call or question. He was able to put us in touch with equally reliable professionals along the way to get us the house we wanted, when we wanted it, for what we wanted to pay for it. I would recommend him highly to anyone.

Dennis M.

Rich was the best realtor we found! He had an unlimited amount of patience, ensuring we found the perfect house that met our needs. Everything we asked of him got done very quickly(usually the same day). We have already recommended him to others and will continue to do so!!!

Kelly S.

Rich did an amazing job helping us find the perfect home for our family and helping us understand everything during the buying process. We will definitely recommend him to our friends and family. Thanks again Rich and we can’t wait to start making new memories with our kids in this awesome house! 🙂

Suzie G.

Rich did a tremendous job of educating my wife and myself on the process of purchasing a home, as this was our first home purchase. I have known Rich for many years, and although we live about 75 miles away, he made close to ten trips in his efforts to help us find the right home. His work ethic, integrity and commitment are second to none. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a home.

Ryan S.

Rich was absolutely awesome to work with, I don’t know how to put it any other way. He was always just a call or text away and he was consistently responsive all throughout the looking and buying process no matter what questions or issues we had. Rich guided my fiancee and I through the buying process with sage advice, clear explanations and a wonderfully positive attitude. He supported us every step of the way including helping us through a tricky final negotiation. We just closed today and we couldn’t be happier. Thank you, Rich.

Dustin W.

Rich Tyson is a great realtor who will do anything in order to find the perfect home for his clients. Being a first time home buyer, I really had no clue all that went in to purchasing a house. Rich helped me every step of the way. He has referrals for practically everything: attorney’s, mortgage brokers, inspectors, etc. If I had a question throughout the home-buying process, I did not hesitate to pick up the phone to call, and my question would be answered. Rich was not pushy at all through the whole process, which is what I really liked the best. I would recommended him to anyone!

Kerry O.

I recently worked with Rich for my first home purchase after leaving my previous agent. Rich is prompt, attentive, honest, and hard working. Rich has good connections in the industry and is very resourceful. Overall I recommend Rich and consider him to be a fantastic agent. I will contact Rich when I need real estate services in the future!
