Rick Merrill was an incredible buyers agent from start to finish. Very attentive to what our needs were and helped cut through the clutter. Always available for house showings and any details needed on each house. Rick also did a great job in helping to work with the mortgage company in order to speed up the closing.

Rick Merrill was extremely helpful in navigating a complicated transaction. He was readily available to help us through all phases and we would not have completed the property sale without his valuable advice and assistance.

As I was an absentee seller, Rick was especially helpful in monitoring the house, frequently checking utilities and security. He communicated with me often by email or telephone about any concerns.. I would recommend Rick for reasons stated above. I believe it was a difficult season to sell a house during the holiday and winter seasons.

Over the last several years, land has not been moving very well. Our property was over 15 acres which, due to the price, was even harder to sell but Rick Merrill worked hard to find us a buyer and we were very pleased with his efforts. We had worked with Rick Merrill previously and knew he would go above and beyond to take care of our needs. As always, he kept us very well informed every step of the way and took time to explain what was going on. We have another piece of land to sell in the near future and we will list with Rick because we know all bases will be covered. He is awesome and a pleasure to work with!! We highly recommend Rick for all your real estate needs!!!

Worked with Rick in the past to market other properties. Prior overall performance was most important factor for broker selection.

Rick's knowledge of craftsman to do work that had to be done on the house, his assistance in following up on the work and his assistance in developing solutions to issues raised by the prospective purchaser was the key to completing the sale. The sale would not have been consummated without Rick's diligence and advice. I recommend Rick Merrill very highly to anyone who is looking for a broker who is helpful, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with.

Initial contact was very positive and the full day we spent house hunting was quite pleasant. Lots of local knowledge and personal anecdotes along the way. We were tired from looking at homes in another area, but this was a refreshing change. After we returned home to Colorado and decided to make an offer, Rick made the whole process seamless and trouble free. Excellent communication, tons of help with details, and great expediting of wants and needs. We had similar service from our realtor on the other end, so this entire experience went as smoothly as possible. The only way it could have been improved would have been if somebody else had picked up the cost of moving - that's it! A real pleasure to work with Rick and the others that he helped select to get the closing done in a totally painless and efficient manner.

Rick's experience with builders and the land development process was extremely valuable. Rick was able to secure a qualified buyer and able to finalize a contract that led to a smooth closing.

Rick Merrill really listened to what we were looking for and he found properties that met our needs and wishes. He was very patient with us which made us feel more at ease thus making the process non stressful and fun. We found a wonderful new home that was perfect for my husband and myself and we are so thankful to Rick. To top it all off at the end of the sale he presented us with our first one of a kind piece of art that he created himself, a testament of how warm and wonderful he was in making this a sale of a home, not just a house.

We have used Rick Merrill for three transactions and have thoroughly enjoyed working with Rick. We have recommended him to several friends who have also been happy. Rick can make an impact on a real estate transaction like no one I have seen before. Usually we are happy with a relator - with Rick Merrill, we are consistently ecstatic. We feels no one knows the local market as well as Rick does. He provides excellent advice and insight.

Looking for a new home in the area while living out of state, added an element of difficulty that could have made it a daunting task. Rick made the process stress free with his knowledge of the area, information about services and communities, travel times and routes, mountain terrain experience and communication skills. We were totally happy and satisfied with Rick's guidance throughout the entire process. Eight months and 10 trips to the area, looking for just the right spot, with each trip having value. It was like working with a friend....completely comfortable.

We loved that Rick Merrill was no-nonsense and we enjoyed our time with him. Even though we were not his biggest client, you would have never known. He worked hard for us and gave us much appreciated guidance with our land purchase. We could not have asked for a more knowledgeable agent. He is a credit to the Real Estate Industry. (separate comments) As out-of-state buyers, it was critical to us that we had an agent who was responsive, knew land in the WNC area, and made us feel as though they had our best interests at heart. We were lucky to have found Rick Merrill!
