"My fiancee and I were very grateful to have Rich as our real estate agent. We both recently migrated from different cities and were not familiar with the Seattle housing market or the neighborhoods. Rich took the time to educate us on anything and everything about Seattle and the surrounding areas, including the school districts, night life and ease of commutes. Rich took the time to grasp exactly what we were looking for and was extremely patient with us as he helped us shop for our first home. There is no question that we will refer Rich to friends and family as his professionalism, attentiveness, and eagerness to help made our experience an extremely positive one."
-Rodney C. and Jenn Y.
"Rich is a very knowledgeable and reliable Realtor who went above and beyond in order to make sure that we were satisfied with our purchase. As a first-time buyer in a tough market, Rich was very patient and took the time to answer the questions we had regarding all aspects of buying a home. He was very prompt and thorough when called or emailed, and he took the extra time to help us find the property we had always wanted. We highly recommend Rich as a Realtor. He is very hard-working and dedicated, and will cater to your needs as a seller or buyer."
-Amy and Ray Q.
"Dear Rich, I want to thank you for helping me to find a beautiful home in Bellevue. You are an outstanding Realtor. I was most impressed with your knowledge of the market, promptness to respond by e-mail/phone, resolution of my concerns, taking care of issues, and thoroughness in the purchasing process. In addition to your professionalism, I most appreciated that you cared not only about my transaction, but also about me as a person. You have such a pleasant personality; it was a delightful experience to have you as my agent. You have my highest approval and I would recommend you to any home buyer."
-Mrs. Lee
"Rich has a great team of professionals who helped me to close my deal on-time and to my satisfaction. Even when the other agent and her sellers were being difficult and uncooperative, Rich was reassuring and gave me confidence that everything would turn out alright. He was responsive and professional, and delivered the service and guidance that I needed at the right time. I give him my highest level of approval for customer service, reliability, and honesty and highly recommend him."
-Noah S.
"I have been highly satisfied with Rich's no-nonsense approach and honesty in real estate. It was easy to work with him, and he was always available to give his straightforward and professional opinion. He also had a keen sense of matching me with the right home by weighing my wants against my buying abilities. Rich was extremely patient throughout the whole process, and the result is my great enthusiasm as a home owner! I owe it all to his highly skilled guidance, precision, thoroughness, and coordination of the whole transaction and buying process. I would undoubtedly recommend Rich to any future home buyer!"
- Angel W.
"As my Realtor, I give Rich Tao my highest recommendation. Through it all, he has always been on my side, answering my questions and making sure that we would take care of the many problems and issues that may arise in a transaction. Rich will go out of his way to take care of you. He cares not only about your transaction, but about you as a person."
-My D.
"I wanted to thank Rich for everything he did to make my home sale in Kirkland so pleasant. I was incredibly impressed with his knowledge, professionalism and amazing attention to detail. His fliers and listing were done very well. With the open house on the opening weekend, we were able to get our full asking price, and move on to moving into our new house. We would highly recommend Rich to anyone who needs help to sell their house at a fair price quickly."
-Arthur and Jenny H.
"In a time when customer service standards are not always held to a level they should be, we were highly impressed with Rich’s level of communication and professionalism. He was always just a phone call or email away and answered all of our questions thoroughly and promptly. He was hardworking, honest and patient, and always went above and beyond for us. Rich took our requirements very seriously and we always felt comfortable knowing that he was giving 110% in helping us reach our goals. He held other key players in the process to the same standards and that truly made all the difference for us. Without Rich Tao, we believe we wouldn’t have found the home we wanted, in the timeframe and ease that we did. We highly recommend Rich Tao for all Realtor needs and will be absolutely working with him in the future."
-Mike and Lisa Y.
"As a first time homebuyer new to the area, the task of purchasing a new home seemed daunting. I needed a Realtor who was not only willing to guide me through the process of purchasing a home, but also one very familiar with the Seattle area. As a student, I needed a Realtor who would have the patience to coordinate the process with my parents living two states away. I was referred to Rich Tao as someone suited to the task and consider myself fortunate to have been able to work with him. I was impressed first and foremost by the level of Rich’s professionalism. Rich was always available by phone or email and prompt to respond. He was always attentive to my parents and my concerns and requirements, highly knowledgeable about the local market, honest, and worked hard to help us in searching for a home. On finding what would be my new home, Rich did an excellent job guiding my parents and me through every step of the purchasing process. He made every effort in working with other parties involved in the process to smooth out what could have been a stressful experience. Rich did a great job for me and I would definitely work with him in the future. I highly recommend him as a Realtor."
-Andy I.
"Dear Rich, I wanted to send you a quick e-mail to let you know what an outstanding Realtor I think you are. I do a substantial amount of business and I deal with a lot of Realtors. You stand out as one of the exceptional Realtors. Throughout the entire transaction, your follow-up was excellent, you were always available and you were a pleasure to work with. Thank you for everything and I hope we can do another transaction together in the future."
