Rick Michels - Realtor/Broker Associate - United Real Estate

I worked with Rick to purchase a home and really can’t say enough good things about him. He is knowledgeable, approachable, personable, patient, and incredibly generous with his time. He answered every question and explained every form and every part of the process clearly and thoroughly. Buying a home in this market is challenging, but working with Rick made it as painless and straightforward as possible. From start to finish I was met with professionalism and excellent care. I highly recommend him to even my cosest family members! When I need to sell and/or buy my next home, I know exactly who to call!!! Thank you Rick for everything.

I can’t say enough, about how truly amazing my real estate experience has been with Rick. He’s has walked me through the process each step of the way and has been so patient and responsive to all of my questions! I highly recommend him, he’s very knowledgeable and experienced. You won’t regret it! He’s an excellent agent, and that makes all the difference in such a big life decision!

If you want a real estate agent who is unavailable, personifies you as a dollar sign, wastes your time, doesn’t know what they’re talking about and speaks in real estate jargon … then you absolutely DO NOT want Rick!!

I approached Rick to help find a house in a crazy market about to be a single mom at about 7.5 months pregnant. Rick, like the cool tik tok influencers say, understood the assignment. He was patient, knowledgeable and above all else remembers the human and importance of such a big commitment. He doesn’t want to cha-Ching $$ you into a home, he wants to make sure you feel good about the fit.

32 weeks pregnant, single and searching for houses in the heat of a Texas summer I was looking for efficiency, patience (as I consistently changed my mind) and someone who could explain processes with candor. The ability to break it down and answer questions effectively for my pregnancy brain without sounding condescending.

Rick adapted quickly to my needs and we were off to hit a pre-delivery deadline! This was my experience through the process.

Persistent - Rick is on the phone with the sellers vs. just email and texting. There were a handful of houses we wouldn’t have seen without his persistence in calling the seller.
Due diligence - Rick will research houses you send him before going to look and pointing out anything that might not meet your criteria before going all the to the property.
Knowledgeable - with 20+ years of flipping houses, and has an eye for details that other realtors might write off as the house’s “custom features”
Not pushy - he was patient with me at the beginning of the process when I changed my mind several times , but adapted quickly when we were nearing the deadline. He even worked his magic to get through all the closing tasks quicker than normal so I was able to close a couple weeks before my due date
He cares! In today’s age where time is money, efficiency means digital interface he really takes the time to make you feel like a friend and even checks in on you well after the buying process has been completed.

If you’ve been on the hunt for a realtor, you need not look any further. Rick is your guy, you won’t be disappointed!

Rick Michels was the reason why I was able to buy a house in today’s market. He was willing to try different negotiation tactics and listened to my needs on what I wanted to get me the right house. He was willing to go and look at houses whenever I was available and was extremely responsive. I truly recommend him as your next Realtor!

Rick is the best! He is quick to respond, sets the right expectations, is insanely knowledgeable, and genuinely cares for his clients. He helped us find our dream home in this crazy market and we couldn’t be more grateful! Can’t recommend him enough!!!
