I had heard of Rick Baker through our community Facebook page and started to chat with him as I had…read moreheard that he routinely encouraged homeowners NOT to sell but rather keep the home and enjoy the profits. Our home is in Windsong Ranch in Prosper and we were in the process of planning for the move to our new home when Rick started sharing his insights. After meeting him I sent him this note "First of all you are are a pro. Totally appreciate your commitment to your craft and the research that you have done." After Rick's thorough explanation the decision was very easy. He covered all of the points and timelines etc and what we should expect. Even though we had a purchase offer in hand from a friend of one of our neighbors to buy our home without Realtor commissions we realized that Rick was correct. The REAL money was holding onto the home as Dallas continues to explode with growth we would be FAR better financially. Rick handled everything to perfection. My wife saw the magazine quality photo spread that he and his photographer created to market the home that looked like it was going to be listed for sale and she said that it was stunning and joked about staying. Before listing we had a concern that some homes in Windsong Ranch were sitting for 50 , 60 days and longer before being leased. NOT WITH RICK! Rick listed the home at what was a fairly aggressive price of $5,500 per month and in just 15 days we had two offers. One wanted to haggle and Rick suggested to stick to our guns. The second was a grand slam home run and we had a signed lease and money in the bank in just 15 days!. No discount on the rent plus a TWENTY month lease until June of 2026. The Tenant will pay us $104,000 dollars in rent which is FAR more than we could have hoped for in this market. Bottom line if you want someone who treats your money and your home like his.......Call Rick. He is a total professional with from start to finish with a keen eye for details and negotiates like it is his money.

I rarely leave negative reviews, but this experience was disappointing. After viewing a property…read moreand clearly expressing that I wanted to make an offer, I was told comps would be prepared that evening. Communication then became delayed and inconsistent despite the time-sensitive nature of a real estate transaction. I understand that personal and professional issues can arise, but responsiveness, urgency, and follow-through are critical qualities in a buyer's agent -- especially at the very beginning of a relationship. Unfortunately, the lack of accountability and communication gave me little confidence moving forward. Personally likable, but not the level of professionalism or responsiveness I was looking for in representation for future purchases and investments.

From the beginning, she impressed us with her level of preparedness and professionalism. At our first meeting, she already had been looking at the value of the home we wanted to sell and had outlined a marketing plan. She was also quick to respond when we had questions and stayed in constant communication with us regarding feedback from showings and other events during the process. She helped talk us through every step of the way as we received an offer and went through negotiations. From the inspection, some concerns were noted. We contacted her to discuss it and she had already lined up the appropriate professionals to verify the concerns and prepare quotes to help us in our response to the buyers. Negotiations were smooth with no major issues arising. We had already narrowed down the general area in which we were interested in living. She provided additional information based on her knowledge of the area which enabled us to further narrow our search. We quickly found a property and she was on top of the negotiations. She has a team of venders available that was helpful as the inspection identified hail damage to the roof. Her roofer was able to provide verification and helped in working with the sellers to get the issue addressed by their insurance prior to closing. We highly recommend her for her knowledge, communication skills, and for staying on top of things every step of the way throughout the process.

We continued to stay in touch and when we needed to find a rental home, Kristin was my first contact. She was great through that experience which led to us using her to help us find our true home. With some picky requirements for me and my husband, Kristin was always helpful with the market knowledge and how to think about negotiating during this time in the market. Would definitely recommend her to anyone who is looking for a rental home, but more specifically for their forever home due to her extensive real estate background.

Having no experience…read morewith this process, it was crucial for us to find someone trustworthy, communicative, and efficient. Cathy checks all of these boxes and more, she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Right from the very beginning when we "interviewed" Cathy she answered all of our questions and gave us even more context for the home-buying process. Our entire home-buying process was not only remote but also occurred during the height of the covid-19 shelter in place orders around the country, so we would have been limited in the ability to physically see any listings, but it didn't matter what the circumstances were because Cathy made our virtual showings an easy and painless process. She took us on virtual tours of several listings and was very accommodating for our time zone (2 hrs behind her) to show us neighborhoods, local amenities, and houses themselves during what would have otherwise been late hours for her. Due to her efficiency, great camera skills, and responsiveness, we were able to get great views of our future home, its immediate surroundings, and the city itself all from the comfort of our living room and we are beyond pleased with our choice. She also shared a few different local lenders for us to consider (but did not put any pressure on us whatsoever to choose anyone in particular) For the one we ultimately chose - I'll review separately if he has a Yelp listing - he was phenomenal to work with! Extremely knowledgeable, patient, and helpful in outlining the process and all of our available options. From start to finish, we made an offer and closed on the house in 32 days and it was a painless and pleasant process. And even though the deal is sealed so to speak, Cathy has still been helping us with setting up local utilities and handling other major move-in checklist items. We cannot thank her enough for her time, assistance, and advice!

Amanda was excellent to work with and helped me avoid many complications and "gotchas" related to my home sale and subsequent home purchase transactions.

From Jackie in the office, pre sale questions and everything in between up to closing and beyond was great. She answered any and all questions we had on the build. Michael was on the spot all through the build process and even post closing to help with any issues that arose and fixed them quickly the first time. Bailey helped after closing with any warranty issues that snuck up and even made multiple calls to me after closing just to be sure we had no more issues. Everyone at shaddock has been a class act. Hugely recommend if you need a builder.

He's responsive, professional, and has handled every warranty item promptly and to our satisfaction.

They are continually on the cutting edge, testing and evaluating which marketing methods work best for selling a house. They know the market, they understand what buyers are looking for, and won't talk you into spending thousands on granite counter tops if you don't need to. Any Realtor can list your house, but this team has the expertise to sell it. The first time I used Roxanne, the market was still recovering from the subprime mortgage crisis. My house had previously sat on the market for six months with only a handful of showings. Following Roxanne's advice and using her methods, I closed about 8 weeks after listing and sold for a fair price. I highly recommend this team for their experience and expertise in Collin County!
