Superb

I can't imagine going through this process without Rick! Rick spent 6 months with us, first guiding us through clearing out and selling my mother-in-law's home of over 60 years, then helping us purchase a single story home that would comfortably accommodate my 91 year old mother-in-law, my husband, myself, two large dogs and room for my parents when they are ready. Our list of requirements for a new home was long!! We know his guidance and negotiating in both the sales and the purchase allowed us to end up with the best possible outcome with our resources. Rick is extremely knowledgeable, kind and patient. We feel very lucky to have found him.

I reached out to Rick to sell my Lakewood house and from the very beginning, he made the entire process seamless and stress-free. Initially, my plan was to list the home as-is, but Rick went above and beyond by offering a unique solution—investing his own money to make strategic improvements that would maximize the sale price. He was incredibly patient, taking the time to thoroughly explain every option available to me. He walked me through the process, ensuring I fully understood my choices without ever making me feel pressured. Rick personally handled everything—purchasing materials, coordinating vendors, and overseeing all the necessary work on the property. In addition to the renovation route, he also presented an alternative: selling the home as-is for a cash offer. After weighing my options, I decided that the cash offer was the best choice for my family, and thanks to Rick’s expertise, the transaction was smooth and effortless. Throughout the entire process, he kept me informed, answered all my questions, and made sure I felt confident in my decision. Rick is not only knowledgeable and professional but also genuinely kind, thoughtful, and gracious. His dedication to his clients is unmatched. If you’re looking to buy or sell in Lakewood, Long Beach, or the surrounding areas, I wholeheartedly recommend Rick and his team. Choosing to work with him was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made, and I will always be grateful for his guidance and support.

Working with Rick Lee to sell my Lakewood home was easy. He kept me informed of what needed to be taken care of in a timely manner. Thanks Rick!

When it came time to sell our home we reached out to Rick. His communication was consistent through the entire process and we loved his marketing through social media to create a buzz before open house. Rick was available through the entire process to give advice and made us feel comfortable with all of the decisions we had to make. His experience and attention to detail were invaluable. I would recommend his services to anyone thinking about buying or selling a home. Rick is a true professional.

Rick was excellent realtor.

Hardest working man in the business! He’s helped me find my dream home, and he’s also helped a couple close family and friends.

Rick has all the qualities you would hope that your real estate agent has, Patience , perseverance, somebody working in your corner to get you the best result. He went above and beyond to make sure we found the house of our dreams for the right price.

HIGHLY recommend working with Rick! My husband and I had been talking about purchasing a home for quite sometime, but never knew when that right time was. When we started talking with Rick he provided us with tons of information on buying a house and encouraged us to take the leap. He was very honest about how competitive the market was, yet we never felt discouraged because of how knowledgeable and educated Rick is. After looking at homes for a brief period we decided to put our first offer in on a house. We instantly called Rick and he had our offer in the very next day! Next thing we know our FIRST offer was accepted for our dream home and the escrow process started! Rick did a fantastic job about letting us know what to expect the entire time. He made it so seamless and easy. He answered every single phone call and text right away, made sure all our questions were answered in detail, thuoroly explained all the steps in the escrow process, kept us constantly updated, and had the best attitude the whole time! You could tell how genuinely happy and excited he was for us. What we thought would be a stressful month ended up being a breeze and we were even able to close escrow a couple days early! When I tell you that Rick is the absolute best at what he does, I mean it. There’s truly no better realtor out there. He’s professional, passionate, and definitely goes above and beyond for his clients. We can’t recommend him enough for anyone looking to buy or sell a home!

I first met Rick at a time when I had no plans on selling my home, but I knew from the moment that I met Rick that there was something about him that I liked immediately and thar he could be someone to trust. He knew the neighborhood (he lived close by), was very personable, and very responsive. Due to unforeseen life circumstances, I had to unexpectedly sell my home that needed not just cosmetic work but considerable repair. Rick was honest about what was selling in the area and what I needed to repair/upgrade. Along with Rick came his recommended "Does It ALL" handyman, Mario, whose hard work and talent turned my home from a sad 35+ old looking interior into a bright, modern gem. I cannot recommend Mario enough. Mario is still my immediate go-to professional that does everything from installing flooring, to beautiful woodwork and repairs. Rick also was my agent for my new home, and I have to say that after the smooth process of my new home purchase, I can attest that he is a man of integrity, business and marketing savvy, and a very smart realtor. It is hard to find a realtor you can trust, that always answers your calls and is honest. Rick has all of those qualities.

Rick was truly exceptional. We met him at an open house that was focused on a newer neighborhood for us. We were impressed with his level of knowledge and the amount of data that he had about the market. It was a no-brainer for us to work with him and we are so thankful we did. Rick was ALWAYS available for home tours. His responsiveness was incredible. If he didn’t pick up, he always called back or texted no longer than 5 minutes later. Seriously. When the seller in the first offer/contract was not actively searching for new home and was making the buying process long and difficult, Rick kept us informed and advised at all time. He knew right away the seller and it's agents had many red flags and within days we found a much better home and location for our family. Rick was on "IT" during the entire process. He did an incredible amount of information gathering about the process, status of city and county inspections. The delivery of the information was straightforward: present the info and talk about pros/cons/strategy for moving forward. Rick really treated the situation like he was purchasing the property – He looked out for us and had our best interests in mind. We highly recommend Rick for your next home! Buying a home is hard and stressful enough. Make sure you have Rick by your side as your Realtor!

My wife and I are forever grateful for Rick, as he helped us secure the perfect home for our family in Van Nuys. Rick was a great advisor throughout the entire process. He worked hard to make sure our offer was accepted, and then made sure everything stayed on track in order to close without any hiccups on a fast escrow timeline. Rick was always available for contact whenever I had questions or concerns and did a great job representing us as his clients. The next time we look to buy or sell real estate, we will be giving Rick another call!

Rick maintained professional, timely, and knowledgeable support throughout the home purchase process. I particularly appreciated his routine check-in, even beyond core realtor duties, which established connection with multiple contacts to facilitate accommodation of various personal needs. Based upon this experience, I plan to be a future customer, and would recommend as much to those considering realtor services. Thank you, Rick.

Rick is simply the best. I started my home search in early of 2022, during the housing market insanity. Prior to Rick, I went with a realtor that a family member had recommended, as I was previously recommended an excellent mortgage broker. Despite my prior success, my experience with my recommended realtor was anything but - missed deadines and timelines, incorrect information regarding my money deposit, and more. I was not happy with the experience. My second realtor experience, I went with someone recommended by another family member (I should have learned my lesson the first time...). They were much more professional, but lazy. I graduated from school with a perfect 4.0, so I understand work ethic and being motivated. I didn't like the fact that I was the one looking up houses on zillow and redfin, and asking to go look at properties. I felt like I was the realtor! I kept asking myself, "What are these people even doing?" I have a full-time job and stuff to actually do. I shouldn't be working harder than my realtor to find me houses and to send ideas - that is their job. They are the realtor! Rick actually cold called me a week or two prior to me giving him a chance. He called to see if I was in need of a realtor. I thanked him for the call, and said I would reach out if my circumstances ever changed. Well, I was frustrated with my prior experiences for sure. I figured, "This guy called me. He seems like he wants to work." I was pretty blunt with him about my expectations, and I told him straight up that I would fire him if I felt that he was lazy - I already got rid of my last two realtors. He agreed, and we set off looking for houses. Rick was great from the get-go. He texted me properties, called me, and more. He is constantly texting and calling - I was in constant communication with him. Often times he would just call me to check on me and make sure everything was good. I never had any issues with deadlines, timelines, or worried about the accuracy of the information he gave me (ex. money deposit, etc.) He spent a lot of time looking at houses with my family and I. One day, we were out looking pretty much the entire day from morning to evening. I actually felt kind of bad because I knew it was a very long day - but he was a trooper. He didn't complain or try to leave - he stayed with us the whole time. The other thing about Rick that I really liked is he was a go-getter. When I arrived at each house to look at, he was already inside talking to the seller's agent trying to get as much information on the property as possible. When we finished looking at the house, he would often go back inside to follow-up with the seller's agent to get a few more details and make some connections. My other two realtors never did this ONCE. It really stood out to me and I definitely noticed. I closed on my house at the end of May, and I am happy with the experience. Rick is a great guy, and I am really happy I took the leap of faith and going with him. Third time is the charm! For what it's worth, my loan person wasn't a fan of my first two realtors, but also loved Rick too. If I ever buy or sell again - I would go with Rick no question. I had the best experience, and I really felt that he cared and had my back. If you have any questions about my experience, reach out to me at Erichar at gmail. I would vouch for Rick if ever needed, based on the experience I had.

If you want a knowledgeable, honest, and friendly real estate professional to support you in finding what you want - then Rick Lee is your guy! Thank you Rick for helping me achieve my dream of becoming a home owner. I am forever grateful to you and your team!

Even in this crazy real estate market Rick was able to find me a off market property and secure the deal without the seller countering our offer. His knowledge of the Westminster real estate market was unbelievable. He knew exactly how much the property was going to appraise for and we already gained a ton of equity since we made the offer. Rick and his team made the almost impossible, very possible for my family and I. I recommend that anyone looking to buy or sell real estate work with Rick Lee. You won’t be disappointed.

Rick is great at what he does. He is a hard working, go-getter, fun, friendly and patient professional. He clearly puts his clients’ needs first and is a great example of someone who goes above and beyond for others. Working with Rick is 100% a great decision!

Rick is incredibly knowledgeable about the marketplace and the local area. We found Rick to be responsive and easy to communicate with. We didn’t end up buying a home at this time, but would 100% work with Rick in our next home search. You can’t go wrong working with him!

Excellent Realtor! Rick went beyond than expected as he provided virtual tours via FaceTime and even offered to capture video of properties after the virtual tour of the ones that I expressed high interest, it was nice to have a gallery of the properties I was very interested in as a compare and contrast. I felt like he definitely puts in the time and effort to try his best to find the perfect home for me. I was impressed with his knowledge of every properties community, such as local eateries, grocery stores, shopping, and parks, throughout the Orange County area. He knows every location very well. I’m not fully ready to purchase right now however, I know I will be contacting him again soon to help me purchase a home as I feel the effort he provided was exceptional and he will definitely find the perfect home for me! Thank you so Rick for guidance, knowledge, and time!
