If you want your stress minimized from selling or buying a house then you MUST use Rick Saba.  Rick made our life easier by his constant communication, consistent marketing efforts, thoroughness and good nature.  From the moment he listed our house to sell, Rick  began prospecting, not only through electronic and paper media but, by picking up the phone and talking to other realtors about their prospective buyers.  The energy Rick exudes, his quick turn around with answers to questions and above all, the high standards of ethics he demonstrates provides utmost confidence to anyone working with him.   It not only felt like we were working with a professional but a friend that put us as his number one priority.

Dear Rick.

 

Jean and I want to thank you for all of the help and guidance you gave us during our search for a home on Hilton Head Island.  We consider ourselves really lucky that you were our “real estate guy!”

 

We gave you a lot of requirements and you patiently worked with us until we found the right home.  During the process you were amazingly patient and tolerant.  When we were trying to decide between a couple of homes your advice helped us figure out what we wanted.  And your efforts to bring in a contractor - before we ever made an offer - to help us figure out if we could do what we wanted to do was unbelievably helpful.  I think it is safe to say you kept us from buying the wrong house – several times!

 

Buying a new home is often stressful – particularly during these unsettling financial times.  But thanks to you the stress was very manageable. It was particularly helpful as we worked through the things in South Carolina that were so different from Illinois

Your help didn’t stop when the deal was close!  You continued to support as we looked for tradespeople to help us make the house a home.  Your plumber, painter, and electrician are in our address books for ever!  Up north we often felt we were robbed by tradespeople.  Not so with your guys!

We like to think that we have found a life long friend in you.  I just hope we don’t abuse that with all of our dumb questions as we settle into our new life in paradise!

I don’t know what it could be, but if there is ever anything we can do for you, let us know.  Because we will certainly rely on you for many years to come.

Neither of us would ever hesitate to recommend you to our friends and family.
Thanks again!

Jim Inns and Jean Shaver.

When we decided to purchase in Hilton Head, we contacted Rick Saba. Upon the first meeting we knew that he was the right person for us. He carefully inquired as to what we wanted and gave him a price range. He respectfully stayed in that range and showed us many properties. After several trips to Hilton Head and seeing dozens of properties he found the perfect property the fit our families needs. In fact the property that he showed us was listed the same day that we saw it. He made the experience of finding a Villa in Hilton Head a pleasure. He never try to push us into anything we were uncomfortable with. He really listened to what we wanted to in a property. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for property in the Hilton head area.

Deloris and family :-) Hilton Head, SC 2012

" If you are interested in either buying or selling real estate in Hilton Head, then I would enthusiastically recommend that you call Rick Saba. He has a thorough understanding of the Island and off Island properties and offers tremendous insight into value and location consistent with your needs. I have bought a second home from Rick and, a year later, bought a rental property. He is thoroughly professional in his sales approach and will offer timely ( almost instantaneous) replies to questions. He will make the entire sales process as easy, efficient and as stress-free as possible. Give Rick a try and you won't be disappointed."

Jeff Bluffton, SC 2012

"I have been enjoying the treasures of Hilton Head Island for over 25 years, and plan to retire there.  In that time, I have engaged in a number of real estate offerings, and done so with a few of the realtors on the Island.  Regrettably, I recently had to short sell one of my holdings.  I have known Rick for a number of years, and he has helped me acquire a few properties.  Rick is, by far, the most professional, dedicated, and knowledgeable person, in his field, I have dealt with on Hilton Head.  His expertise, personal caring, and attention to detail, made this very difficult short sale decision, and process, very easy for me.  I would recommend Rick to anyone seeking real estate in the Hilton Head area.  I consider him the best."

Dennis Out of Town Seller 2011




“My wife and I have used Rick in the purchase of two villas in the Hilton Head Island area. Each time, Rick provided us with the utmost attention and went the extra mile in both situations in getting us the best deals. Rick was very professional and was always in communication with us, even though we were in Massachusettts, and the sales were happening in SC. I would recommend Rick to anyone looking to buy property in the Low Country/Beaufort County area in SC. Rick is the great realtor and someone I would trust with handling any RE transaction. He is honest, straight foward and a trustworthy person.”

His commitment to his clients, vast popularity throughout the region, and award winning practices has made Rick the go to man if you are looking for any type of property in this area.
 
Rick you rock! Keep up the great work.”

Rick,

We’ve been so busy fixing up our new place and enjoying the holidays that we forgot to send you a “thank you” for two more successful real estate deals. In addition to finding us a remarkable buy to replace our house that was destroyed by fire you were able to sell our vacant lot in this horrible market at 94% of the asking price.

While I’m sure your production has suffered somewhat during these difficult times, there is no doubt in my mind that you are still leading the pack. Your ability to look at the long term value of developing good clients rather than the short term value of a quick sale has served you well in our case as well as many others. Just as you did when you sold us our first house in Sea Pines, you actually talked us out of buying places that you knew were not the best deals for us and waited until that perfect fit appeared. Obviously we would never think of dealing with another agent.

John Dreier

January 2009

Rick is the Lowcountry Realtor® to go to if you’re looking for courtesy, diligence and professionalism.

 

After I told Rick what I was looking for he wanted to work on my behalf. He constantly searched the market, informing me whenever he found a property matching my criteria. He always kept an open line of communication, as well as returning emails and phone calls in a timely manner. During the closing process Rick made sure I knew what was going on by sending me the necessary forms in advance and keeping me updated on our timeline.

 

I highly recommend Rick to anyone considering a real estate purchase in the Hilton Head area. He has received numerous professional awards throughout the years and after my dealings with him I think he earned every one of them!

 

Steve Taylor

We have been dealing with Rick Saba for approximately 4 years now. He has always had a positive attitude toward our real estate needs. He is quick to respond to any questions or requests we have had.

Most recently, he sold our 2 bedroom villa at the Hilton Head Beach and Tennis resort in a short timely period. The complete transaction was handled smoothly. Any further real estate needs will definitely be with Rick and Rick only.

Dear Rick,

We would like you to know that we are very appreciative of your efforts which resulted in the sale of our house despite the worst housing market in our lifetime. As absantee home owners, we were especially impressed that you kept us well informed of all activity regarding the house, including the necessary maintenance and repairs, realistic pricing, potential buyer activity and local housing market realities.

You responded to any questions or concerns that we expressed, with professionalism, warmth and promptness. All in all, it was a pleasure working with you and we would not hesitate to recommend you to any potential clients.

Sally and Charles Neustadt

Rick,

Thanks for all your help this year in selling our condo and buying a home in Hilton Head. With this difficult real estate market, we would never have been able to sell the condo without your expert advice and assistance. Your negotiating expertise “sealed the deal”. Your attention to detail was great and the contract could have fallen through a few times without your perseverance. Likewise, your help in negotiating the purchase of our house got us the best deal possible! From inspection to closing, we knew you were on top of everything. We would highly recommend your services to anyone who wanted to buy or sell a property in Hilton Head.

Thanks again for everything,

Mark and Beth Rosenfeld

Rick and Staff,

 

Just a brief note of thanks for selling our Evian unit during a very difficult real estate season. Everyone at Carolina was great at communicating and following up with all aspects of the transaction. It’s amazing how smooth this went considerting we were 800 miles away in Ohio.

 

I would recommend Rick Saba to anyone I know-he did an AWESOME JOB!

 

Laura and Mark Kikel Ohio 2009


Rick,

We would have not asked for a more professioanl real estate agent than the services you provided during our condo hunting in October.

In a matter of hours we found a property that was ideal for us and in a few days we had a signed contract.

The service after the sale was top notch. We are so much looking forward to our retirement in Sun City.

Bill and Suzy Hilborn

Mechanicsburg, PA January 2010


My husband and I had been looking for a second home in Hilton Head for quite some time.

We met Rick two years ago while vacationing on the Island. Rick was always a pleasure to deal with. His responsiveness, courtesy and professionalism was tremendous help in the purchase of our home.

After closing, Rick continued to help us. It isn’t easy to arrange for contractors in South Carolina from New York. Rick has a network of reliable people and our home was habitable in a short period of time.

We have no hesitation in recomending Rick Saba to our friends. His enjoment of his work carries through and that made our transaction a smooth one.

Thank you Rick,

Sincerely,

Merle Rosenbloom

Eight years ago we searched for the best realtor® on HHI to represent us as buyers. After completing our research we found Rick Saba to be the most honest, ethical, knowledgeable and responsive realtor®. In 2002 and 2003 Rick helped us purchase 2 villas on HHI. In 2009 he helped us sell one of the villas on HHI. On every transaction he represented us in a very professional manner with our best interests as his priority. Also, during these years Rick became a personal friend as well. We are convinced htat selecting Rick Saba was the best decision we could have made. Our decision has further been reconfirmed by Rick’s election as President of the HH Area Association of Realtors in 2005 and his selection as the 2009 HH Realtor of the Year.

If you want the best realtor in the Hilton Head Area, Rick Saba is the best!

Gus and Marjean Huber Ohio 2010


Once again Rick Saba was able to find a new owner for our home. In a booming market the first home we listed with him was under contract in just days. Our second attempt of selling another home was done at the height of a decling market. His comprehensive marketing tools together with Rick’s tenacity brought us an offer at the exact time we were ready for it.

His personal style of keeping us informed on market conditions without brow-beating was much appreciated. Congratulations on Realtor of the Year-You deserve it! We will contract with Rick Saba for all of our real estate needs.

Rick and Claudia Van Thiel 2010


We have known Rick Saba for over ten years and have used him for all of our real estate needs. During this time, we have bought and sold several properties with Rick. He is knowledgeable, reliable and supportive in both good markets and the not-so-good markets. He was able to sell our Sea Pines home this past summer in less than two months. This is an unheard of feat in today’s slow market!

Not only does Rick have a good grasp on the real estate market, but he also comes up with creative ideas for his clients both buyers and sellers. He listens, provides honest, helpful feedback and is a pleasure to work with. We have recommended him to several of our friends and they have had similar positive experiences. Those who live outside of the area have found him resourceful and very accommodating.We highly recommend Rick. We don’t know too many people who have real estate agents for life but Rick Saba is ours!!Sincerely and with gratitude for all your help,
Rich Many & MaryAnne Bastek
Hilton Head, SC January 19, 2009

We have worked with Rick Saba for several years in buying and selling rental property. Rick is always deeply cognizant of what is happening in the real estate market and sensitive to his client’s needs. He always has sound advice on what is a good buy or what is a proper price for a particular sale. Customer satisfaction always comes first before any of his personal financial considerations. His contemporaries hold him in high regard. He is upright and honest in every detail, diligent, extremely friendly and a person we always look forward in contacting.
Chuck and Cynthia Masalin Sun City 2009

Rick Saba did a very professional job handling our purchase of a condo on Hilton Head Island. He knows the market and helped up negotiate what we feel is a very fair price and terms. Rick did not forget about us after the sale and was more than helpful by letting contractors in when we weren’t there during the renovation.
Gary T. Thompson Waddy, KY 2008

It’s been about a month since the close of our Seaside condo. Gary and I want to thank you for a job done extremely well in a very difficult market. Besides being a nice guy, you showed a very high level of professionalism and competence during the entire process. Most importantly you stayed in constant communication with us and you were always reachable. When the market picks up we plan to list our primary residence in Wexford. You will be our listing agent.
Toni and Gary Hilton Head Island, 2008

Shortly after moving from Ohio to Columbia, SC we knew we wanted a place in Hilton Head. We met with Rick on several of our visits to the Island. He took the time to show us various properties. His knowledge of the Island and Bluffton area was invaluable in our decision making. If you are looking for Real Estate, we highly recommend Rick Saba!
Chris and Denise Benner 2009

I would never even consider buying or looking at a property in the Low Country without working with Rick. From start to finish he is by far the best realtor® in the area. I just purchased my first home, and he made a very overwhelming process seem easy. He was extremely patient and informative as I considered different areas and communities on the Island. During the purchase he would anticipate issues, before they became problems, and took care of everything from start to finish. I completely trust and value his opinion, and would never consider any property or location without first consulting him.
Mary 2009

Dear Rick,

Isabel and I would like to thank you for your diligence in selling our home in Sun City. Especially in these tough times. It was satisfying to have it close in a reasonable amount of time. You were always there even though it was long distance to answer our questions and it made us feel very comfortable. Thanks again for handling this matter so efficiently.
Don and Isabel Florida 2008

"I met Rick Saba in March 2001 when my wife and I were looking to purchase a villa. In my job as a military and airline pilot, we have lived in many places and bought many houses. We have had 16 previous real estate transactions, all with outstanding agents. None, however, is more outstanding than Rick".
- Stan Cole, Texas

"Rick is an energetic, highly motivated realtor. After helping us buy a larger villa, he sold our old one in less than two weeks, for the price we had set. His insight into the real estate market in Hilton Head is invaluable. Not only did we get a great villa and a good investment, we got a great friend."
- Ron and Ruth, Notestine PA


I still can't believe the villa you told us to buy cleared $80,000 in one year..........tell us where the next one is and we are in! Thank you so much, this is giving my kids a jump start for college.
- Tom and Sherrie Fair Norfolk, Mass 2004-5

You are the ONLY Realtor we would ever recommend or think about using! You sold our villa in record time, then you found us a non listed home in Sea Pines, well under the current market price. You flat out tell it like it is and your knowledge is the best! Thank you Rick for everything that you have done and will continue to do for us in the future.
- Bill and Heather Losey

Dear Rick:

This is a long overdue "Thank you" for all your efforts in assisting with my very first purchase of investment property. You came highly recommended by my son, because you are one of the very few people he knows and trusts to do what you say you'll do. I particularly appreciated your rapid response follow up to all of my inquiries, and you often times anticipated my questions and had the answers at hand for me.

For nearly 25 years, I was a real estate paralegal in a couple of private law firms and became quite familiar with real estate law...and realtors. In all my years as a paralegal, I can count on one hand the number of realtors I'd recommend, and you are first on the list. You not only followed up with me throughout the purchase transaction, you have maintained contact with me. When I decide to list the property, there is no other agent but you I'd want to have the listing.

You are very knowledgeable about the real estate market on Hilton Head and understand the buyer/seller trends in your area. You talk straight and clearly and give me the information I need to have to make informed decisions. You've managed to combine great skill and knowledge with a very easy-going style, and I look forward to our next transaction.

Warmest Regards,
- Esther A. Lapin - October 24, 2004

Dear Rick,

I just wanted to thank-you for all your hard work in helping me find the perfect home! I really appreciate all the time and effort you took with me to show me everything in my price range and than putting up with me dragging friends along for a second look at several possibilities. Being a first time homeowner not knowing anything.... you really saved me a lot of headaches by handling everything from making the offer to arranging inspections and repairs while I was out of the country on vacation. Once again. I couldn't be happier with my new condo!

Thanks again.
- Christine Lipske - Hilton Head Island, SC - October 27, 2004

When we decided to buy a villa in Hilton Head in 2002, we were shown around by another company's agent. She showed us only properties her company was pushing - nothing like what we wanted. After waiting for a response for several weeks, we called Rick Saba. What a difference in service! After explaining what we wanted, we came down 2 weeks later. Rick had about 25 properties lined up - they were exactly what we asked for. At the end of that day we made an offer on a villa, it was accepted, and we closed 3 weeks later. Rick was great in getting everything ready for the closing and in assisting us in every step. After 2 years we are still loving our villa! Thanks for everything Rick!
- David P. Shuster - Gainesville, GA - October 27, 2004

In early 2001 we decided to list our Harbour Town villa with our friend, Rick Saba, who had only recently become a real estate agent. At the time we thought the property would sell quickly and we were doing Rick a favor by placing the listing with him. Little did we know that the end of 2000 economic downturn and other events, including 9/11, would slam the door on villa sales on Hilton Head Island.

With the tables turned, Rick had to muster all his skills to sell our villa. And, he did so. He constantly came up with new ideas for marketing the property. He followed every lead. He called buyers' agent to expedite and secure the sale at a price very favorable to us. He was, borrowing one of his favorite phrases, "simply amazing" and we will be forever grateful.
- Nancy & Terry Gromel

In working with Rick Saba over the past few years, I found him to be extremely professional and diligent. He was always on the spot with matching my expressed needs to what he presented to me from the market place. I have worked with many agents in several regions of the country and Rick demonstrates to be a best in class.
- James Reinstein

Rick, I can describe you in 5 words, "You Are Simply the Best"!

I have owned my Fiddlers Cove apartment for 3 years now and am so happy that I bought it through you. You fought to get me the best price. Until today I have so much appreciation for the way you made the sale go through. I will without any doubt buy my second home through you.
- Stauros Odysseus


Rick Saba is the best real estate agent you could find. He is incredibly thorough, meticulous, and knowledgeable. But most of all, he is the most positive and honest agent you could ever employ.

Having bought and sold ten properties over thirty years, Rick stands at the top of real estate professionals.

I highly recommend this man to you who became more than a real estate agent for my family; he became a trusted friend.
- Stan Cole Texas 2000 and 2003

Rick Saba is a very professional realtor, who gave us sound and good advise on our recent purchase. Mr Saba possesses the highest integrity and ethics in his field.

Rick has a refreshing and knowledgeable approach in today's market. He has a wonderful old-fashioned work ethic. Rick helped us tremendously with all our relocation needs. We were pleased with our experience and highly recommend him.
- Joe & Mary Matis - Sun City SC - October 22, 2004


Rick is an energetic, highly motivated realtor. After helping us buy a larger villa, he sold our old one in less than two weeks, for the price we had set. His insight into the real estate market in Hilton Head is invaluable. Not only did we get a great villa and a good investment, we got a great friend.
- Ron and Ruth Notestine 2002-Present

Rick Saba is the only Real Estate agent I met who spent the time to prepare a marketing analysis and review the possibilities with me. I have utilized Rick's skills in 6 transactions in Hilton Head and have been very satisfied with the results. Rick Saba gets it done!
- Eric Lapin


I would highly recommend selecting Rick Saba as your realtor for the Hilton Head area. Rick has represented us as a buyer's agent for two purchases on Hilton Head Island. In both cases, Rick demonstrated himself to be honest, hard working and very knowledgeable about the Hilton Head real estate market. He can also provide great advice about who to work with in Hilton Head to get additional services such as financing and property management.

Prior to our Hilton Head purchases, we were unfamiliar with the area other than its good name. Choosing Rick to represent us turned out to be an excellent decision. As an example, during our first purchase the financing we arranged fell through less than 2 weeks before the closing. It was unbelievable! Rick got involved and recommended we use a contact of his at Wells Fargo. Within a week, the financing was secured and we closed on time. That property has already appreciated over 30% in less than 2 years. Rick's knowledge, experience and contacts on Hilton Head are a valuable resource that can benefit you if you choose to have him represent you. At this point, I wouldn't make another move on Hilton Head without working with Rick.

I highly recommend you consider using Rick for at least one real estate transaction. I won't be surprised that you will also find that having him represent you on Hilton Head was a wise choice.
- Gary Morrison - October 12, 2004

Rick was great! He assessed our needs, worked closely with us and helped us make the right real estate decision. As first time vacation property buyers we had a lot to learn. Rick went above and beyond to provide the knowledge and insight for us to feel comfortable with our purchase.
- Dave Massey - Atlanta, Georgia


Rick Saba is that rare bird in business: A man who says what he can and will do for you. And then does it! We have had the pleasure of having Rick represent us on two purchases on Hilton Head Island and we would never consider using anyone else. He is congenial, responsive, honest and efficient.
- Corinne and Michael Rae - Belmont, California - October 13, 2004

As a first time home buyer, Rick made my experience a very positive one. He was very thorough in explaining anything and everything I needed to know. He was energetic yet patient and helped me find and purchase exactly what I was looking for in the right price range. He's fun to work with and very personable as well as extremely knowledgeable about the market on Hilton Head. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in purchasing property in the area.
- Amanda L Dahl


Dear Mr. Saba;

I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you for all of your hard work in the closing of our property on Hilton Head Island. Your hard work and patience with first-time Hilton Head property-buyers like us made the dream of Hilton Head ownership a reality.

From the first time that we met you, Rick, there was a sense of honesty and professionalism about you. In fact the first time we met back in 2001, you gave my parents, my wife, and myself, a tour of the entire island and told us what areas were good investment areas, and what areas where not so good. You not once pressured us to buy a particular property. You wanted for us to have a general picture of the entire island before making any decisions. There was a sincere sense of wanting to establish a relationship, and not to just sell one more property. You sincerely had our interests in mind. Then, once we bought the property, you have always been there to answer any questions, and to provide a helping hand in anything that needed to be done.

Rick, you are truly a credit to your profession. I can truly say that since the first time we met, you have handled yourself professionally, and I can honestly say that you are a friend of our entire family. In fact, whenever we come to Hilton Head Island, the first person we generally call is you, Rick.

I would have no problem recommending you to other people. Please feel free to use this letter as a testimonial.

With much appreciation,

Finding your dream house is just the beginning ……
As an out-of-town buyer, we needed someone to co-ordinate all of the numerous activities that precede settlement. We chose Rick because of his cheerful “can-do” attitude, his attention to details, and his focus at all times on our best interests.
It proved to be a wise choice. He assisted us with contract negotiations; home inspection; insurance requirements; utilities hook-ups; pest, garden and home improvement contractors; settlement attorneys; and even a rental company (that found us a long-term tenant).
Rick’s contacts were invaluable in getting everything on our “must-do list” satisfactorily completed, long before we flew down for settlement.
Rick is a true gem – an outstanding professional, a joy to deal with, and our first friend on the Island.

- Steve and Shelli Roth Out of Town Buyers July 1st 2002, Maryland

"Rick Saba helped me purchase 5 investment properties for a 1031 exchange. His service, knowledge, and commitment is second to none and I highly recommend him to anyone. I will use Rick Saba when I purchase in the near future, he is the best I have seen."
- Jan Bordewick 1031 Exchange Investment Buyer July 2002 California

To any potential buyers, Rick Saba's knowledge and understanding of property on the Island is the best. By talking to him long enough you will realize this. And by the time you are finished closing on your new home you will have made a friend for life!
- Guy Ruley Villa Owner and Realtor Hilton Head Island 2002

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I met Rick Saba in March 2001 when my wife and I were looking to purchase a villa. In my job as a military and airline pilot, we have lived in many places and bought many houses. We have had 16 previous real estate transactions, all with outstanding agents. None, however, is more outstanding than Rick.

Rick is hard-working and honest. He invested untold hours finding every piece of information we needed quickly. We never once saw him shade the truth. He treated everyone with the highest respect. He is one of the most positive, encouraging people I have ever known.

Rick impressed us most after the sale. When the property is closed and the commissions paid, most agents feel their job is done. Not Rick. He continued to work jus as hard helping us move in. He called and visited several times. He found us a ticket to the Heritage Golf tournament. He recommended people for remodeling. He invited us to his home.

Rick cared about us as more than clients. Rick became our friend. I strongly encourage you to partner with Rick as your agent. You can be assured that you will make the best real estate decision and gain a wonderful friend as well.

Sincerely,

Stanley P. Cole, Jr.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for the great job
you did in helping me find my villa. You went way beyond what I expected. You researched many properties and showed me as many as I could possibly see during the time I was at Hilton Head. You were there for me from beginning to end, helping me with an attorney, mortgage lender, inspections, pictures, and anything else that would make the purchase go smoothly. I am fortunate that I was able to find such a GREAT realtor who I TRUST and would highly recommend to anyone purchasing a home! You're the BEST!

Sincerely,
- Lorraine Thomas - Investment Buyer - New Jersey

I just wanted to take the time to officially thank you for the wonderful job you did in helping me buy unit 12F Fiddlers Cove on Folly Field Rd. You were very prompt and provided me with efficient service at all times. You were also very responsive to special requests that I had. Thank you. I am amazed by how much effort you put into making the sale take place and would without a doubt recommend you to anyone that is interested in buying real estate.

I am writing this testimonial to you in hopes that you will share it with your future clients. We have the highest regard for you. Your professionalism and honesty are more than excellent. When we began looking for an agent in the Hilton Head area, we spoke to several other agents before we found you. Most agents never bothered to return our calls. Once I contacted you, you were more than willing to work with us. From the very first contact there was no question in our minds that we would enjoy dealing with you. You have always done exactly what you said you would do and in a very timely manner. Words just cannot convey the appreciation and respect we have for you. The work you have done for us and still are doing just goes above and beyond what anyone could expect. You have done so much to make our new purchase just about effortless on our part. Your tireless dedication to us is extraordinary.

To anyone reading this letter, please know that you will never find a better agent or person than Rick Saba. He has made our transition as new homeowners a very pleasant experience. Buying a property when you are out of state can be a nerve-wracking project. Dealing with Rick set our minds at ease. Rick's honesty and integrity are beyond reproach. Rick made phone calls o hook us up with furniture companies, phone companies, insurance companies, rental companies, he went to our property and set up cleaning and carpet cleaning and furniture delivery. Aside from that I would like to think of Rick Saba as our new friend, and I hope he will remain our friend forever.

In closing I would like to say how lucky we were to have found Rick Saba. If at any time Rick we can repay you for all of the help and kindness you have shown us, please don't hesitate to ask.

"Rick was the only person that totally represented my interests. I worked with a few other agents and they kept pushing me. With Rick, we looked for almost 6 months, then when we found the right property, it was really a great buy and the right buy for me. I will list my villa with him when I sell!"
