We feel fortunate to have crossed paths with Rick Franz and to have had him as our real estate agent. He was highly recommended to us by friends who had utilized his expertise in buying and selling homes on multiple occasions, and they attested to his exceptional knowledge of the Sammamish real estate market. As first-time home sellers without any prior experience, we were unsure of how to navigate the selling process. From our initial meeting with Rick, his professionalism was evident and reassuring. He promptly assessed our property and proposed a strategic sales plan that we diligently followed. Taking into account various factors such as market conditions, property condition, necessary preparations for sale, and more, he provided us with an initial house price estimate that seemed ambitious at first. However, his foresight proved to be accurate, and we proceeded with the plan with confidence. Rick generously allotted us up to 5 months to prepare for the sale, allowing us ample time to organize our move, pack our belongings, and tend to other tasks at a comfortable pace. Despite encountering unforeseen challenges during the preparation phase, which had the potential to disrupt the sale timeline, Rick adeptly navigated through these obstacles, minimizing any delays and ensuring a smooth process. Throughout the preparation period, Rick was quick to offer valuable referrals to reputable service providers, including gardeners, handymen, inspectors, and companies offering necessary certifications. When we required assistance, his network of trusted professionals proved invaluable. During the final stages of the sale, Rick and his associate Nicole took charge of house staging and orchestrated a remarkable advertising campaign featuring a visually stunning website with 3D virtual tours and HDR photos showcasing the property from every angle. The property attracted considerable attention and was sold within four days, surpassing our initial expectations with a multitude of offers. If you find yourself in possession of a property in the Sammamish area and are considering selling, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Rick. Engage in a conversation with him, chart a tailored plan together, and rest assured that you will be in capable hands. You will not regret it.

We could not have asked for a better real estate agent than Rick Franz. We decided to put our beautiful home for sale and knew Rick would get us the best results. He has previously helped both us and other family members with many of our real estate transactions. Rick is very knowledgeable of the market and works with his powerful team to come up with the best possible price. Rick and his team worked very hard to advertise and market our property. We are very happy with the results. Rick was also very helpful in suggesting ways to declutter and prepare our house for the best showing possible. Thank you Rick for being a great friend and the best realtor. Lori and Doug Birrell

A stellar real estate agent we worked with in another county highly recommended Rick, which is always a good sign, and we chose him as our seller's agent after a productive first meeting at our home. Rick is extremely knowledgeable about the local area for pricing and creating a marketing strategy that highlights the strengths of the property. He listened to our priorities and made it clear that he and his team would be there to support us all along the process, and he delivered on that promise. He took the time to walk the property and was definitive about what did and didn't matter for house preparation prior to listing, helping connect us to excellent service providers. Rick's kindness, uplifting attitude, and straightforward communication were all appreciated through our time on the market. His resourcefulness kept buyers coming in during a challenging time with slow area activity and unusually high mortgage rates. When great buyers came along, Rick was fantastic at getting a deal done and being proactive through closing so all went smoothly. Plus, he brought us a jar of blue m&m's to help energize us when we were prepping the house, which I'll always have fond memories of. Thank you, Rick!
