Don is a joy to work with from start to finish! He absolutely lives up to his mission statement that his clients are not clients, they are his friends. He works hard to help you prepare to sell your home and goes to bat in the buying process. His knowledge of the local markets is impeccable. He provides an honest assessment of the market to make sure that your selling price is optimal. Further, he ensures that your buying price is fair and will negotiate to make certain your needs are met. Don is organized and prompt with meetings and acquiring necessary information during the buying/selling process. Above all, Don treats you like family when he works for you. We always looked forward to his calls and meetings for updates as he makes the process fun. Buying or selling your home can be stressful. Don made the process a rewarding and enjoyable process for our family. He helped us navigate the uncertainties and stresses of buying and selling with calm confidence and assuredness. We are so proud to call him our friend! We recommend him highly to anyone who wants the best of the best to sell or help you buy a home.

Don helped to sell my home, all I had to do was say that I was ready and he took care of everything else. Since this was my first time selling I had plenty questions ranging from cost to the process and timeline, which he always responded to quickly and provided pointed answers. He made sure I remained well informed. I have had nothing but positive experiences. He is friendly, courteous and prompt. I would recommend him, 100%.

We have used Don to buy, sell, buy and sell again. He has been so terrific, a straight shooter, and has always taken the best care of us. We have recommended him to many people and just about our entire family has used him at one point or another. We would recommend him ten times over!! Thank you Don!!

Don is a friend. He was there for me to help me with the sale of my mom's house who passed away.
I was new to everything involved with selling. I didn't know what to do or expect but Don was there with the answers to any of my questions. I liked his motto to be your friend first. And he surely was and is. I never felt like anything else. I am keeping his business card for anyone I know who wants to sell or buy a house. DON will be my first choice to call if I decide to buy or sell. I totally enjoyed working with him. Thanks to DON !

This is the second home purchase we’ve made using Don as our realtor and it is clear why his clients stick with him. Don is caring and down to earth while making sure everything is taken care of. We have recommended him to all of our friends in the area.

My wife & I were first time home buyers and we could not have asked for a better agent than Don. From the minute we started looking for a home to the very last signature, he was with us from beginning to end. He knew the answer to everyone of our questions and concerns. He truly had our best interest in mind. We started off with a real estate, but ended up with a friend. I would and certainly will recommend Don to anyone I know looking to buy or sell.

I've used Don multiple times when purchasing a new home, and each time, he's been fantastic. His communications are great, and he's very transparent about everything. He's very personable, and time and time again, he goes out of his way to make sure he can accommodate your needs, to ensure a smooth and pleasant transaction. If I ever buy another house, he's my guy.

Don was just awesome to work with! He made the home buying process just fun for my family! He schedule time to show us houses and did not have a problem driving all over the place. We worked with his recommended lender and was able to close pretty close to my birthday! We will definitely use him for our investment property purchases!

Stephen was so great to work with. He knew exactly what we wanted and was communicating with me and the lender through the whole process and went above and beyond to find me the perfect home!

I have always been hesitant about real estate agents as they play a major role in the success of selling your property in a timely, efficient, and effective manner while attempting to maximize the best financial outcome for you as a homeowner. However, after meeting and working with Don Ritchie, he stands out as the best! He met with us and reviewed the selling process, and using data on comps from the surrounding neighbor, set a price on our house that was above our expectations. He had a professional photographer come in to our home who took amazing professional pictures that created a stellar media presence for us! When we saw our listing – our home was “picture perfect”!! Within 48 hours of our home being on the market, we had six showings, and an offer! We highly recommend Don to anyone who is looking for a real estate agent. He is a professional, extremely responsive, incredibly friendly, and easy to work with. His hard work and knowledge of what it takes to sell a home is amazing!

Steve was knowledgeable about the market, a strong negotiator, patient, great communicator, and always available. But what truly distinguishes him from other agents is that he cares. He made the experience of selling my home far less stressful, and I feel fortunate to have worked with him.

Mr. Stephen Blanks was always very professional , knowledgeable and most of all very effectively working to sell our property. We are very happy that Mr. Blanks was our realtor because our house was sold fast. He took care of every detail to better show it to the possible buyers. And he was always available, making us feel that we were his only customer. We definitely call him to buy our next property. Thank you Stephen for your wonderful work!
