Rick Rochon - Vanguard Properties

"Putting the punchline upfront, Rick is an incredible agent and an even better person! You simply can

't go wrong working with him. It was clear from the first time I met Rick that the sale was secondary, his focus was on making sure his client was happy and well represented. In my particular case this wasn't easy. Not only was I on the buyer side, an unenviable position in the current market, Rick was actually the seller's agent. Without going into all the detail the seller and I decide to use Rick as out joint agent, representing both of us in the transaction. A bit of a unicorn for realtors and potentially a nightmare. Still Rick managed to faithfully represent both of our interests, address our individual needs, and pull off the whole process without a single hiccup. So if Rick can manage this I'm not sure there is anything involved in the sale or purchase of a home he can't handle."

We feel fortunate to have had Rick guiding us though the process of buying our first home. He is extremely knowledgeable about the market & took the time up front to get to know us & really understand what we were looking for. Being our first time buying, we had a lot of questions & anxieties, but Rick was an expert at calming, putting things into perspective & helping us make the right decisions. Most importantly for us, he was great to work with & made it fun. Rick is a great person & we highly recommend Rick if you're looking to find your next home.

Rick did an outstanding job of helping us navigate the San Francisco real estate market. He worked with us to figure out what type of place would fit our needs. And since we were buyers in a rapidly changing real estate market, his knowledge of the market and his advice as we submitted offers was spot on and invaluable. Rick works to find you the right place at the right price. He was always looking out for our interests, not his own. Rick also had to help us with our complex logistics through closing. He stayed on top of all the details to ensure a smooth close. I've never had a better experience with real estate that I had with Rick.

As first time homebuyers Rick was amazing to have as a resource. He is trustworthy, honest, incredibly knowledgeable, and the person you want on your team. He takes time to explain things and supports you every step of the way. He has been an invaluable help after the deal closed by providing recommendations and is a constant support. He’s an absolute delight to work with and we would recommend him to close family/friends and strangers alike. We consider him family and would not hesitate to have him as a realtor for future investments.

Rick is superbly professional and also incredibly kind. In every step of the transaction and beyond he has gone the extra mile. He has made what appear to be obstacles disappear. Beyond the purchase he has helped me by providing a carpenter, by giving LOTS of advice re. renting the property AND he provided me with names of property managers. I am so very grateful and will recommend him to anyone (who is nice).

Rick is an amazing agent! He is proactive but not pushy and will work hard to ensure his clients’ success. We were amazed at his ability to think outside the box for homes that we didn’t even think to search for. A true professional who knows his business and how to match buyers to homes. We couldn’t have been happier with his services.
