In the search for the perfect deal, she advises clients to listen to your realtors because they are on your side. In her case, the goal is always to get the client the best service at the earliest convenience, and she believes that’s the same for other realtors as well. For realtors, Ricki says the goal should be customer satisfaction because that’s the best marketing tool. “Don’t be greedy,” she advises. “Properties are only worth what someone is willing to pay.” As her business grows, Ricki remains committed to excellence and pleasing her clients. Her goal is to expand further and continue offering her clientele “the miracle of finding the perfect property.”
