“Rick has 35 years experience in Galveston real estate. He was born and raised in Galveston and is very knowledgeable of the players and events that have shaped Galveston’s development. Rick skilfully guided our search for a home in Galveston and played a major role in our final selection. Rick has firsthand knowledge of the dunes restoration requirements, the Base Elevation Certificate and FEMA flood requirements. He outlined the pros and cons of each property and allowed us the time to make our decision without any pressure. He has a wonderful easygoing personality and makes himself available at all times. We were very happy to work with Rick and will do so again. I would highly recommend Rick to anyone interested in purchasing a property in Galveston. ”

It was a great time seeking the right property for you. It was an honor and a privilege to be of service for you and Nancy. I always love going out and looking at West Galveston Island properties with highly motivated buyers. I hope that house serves you well. It brought back a lot of memories because I sold that property for the builder, Ken Fryer, when he built it. Now I have new treasured memories of functioning as a West Galveston Island Resort property Specialist for you. Thank you.
