Smooth VA Homebuying

Rick and his team made our first time home buying process with the VA loan super easy! Rick was excellent with communication, especially with us having a 3 hour time difference. He answered calls or texts very quickly, even on weekends. We needed to have an extremely quick turnaround with our military PCS and they made it happen without any issues. He was very patient and explained each step of the process so we could easily understand our next steps. He helped give advice on different areas since we were going to have to buy a house before even checking out the area and we felt strongly that we could trust his advice. HIGHLY recommend Rick and his team.
