Richard Ives, Broker Associate RE/MAX AT HOME

We had been looking for a home since October 2007 and found nothing that we liked! Unsatisfied with our current agent we were recommended by our lender to contact Richard Ives and after all the tools that he provided we found our first home within a month! We were so GLAD to have met Richard and look forward to working with him in the future for all of our investments. Thanks for all your help Richard!
Sincerely,
Shikh & Rahat

Dear Marilyn and Richard:
It is cold and windy out, and I am sitting in my new home. Thank you so much for all the work you did. I never had a question that wasn't answered in less than 12 hours, and most of the time you had answers before I had questions. You handled every detail and kept me informed and educated me as well.
This was a really great and fun experience. Not like the horror stories of house buying, but smooth, easy and exciting. You two make a great team and I am so very luck to have met you. I hope that you get to have fun with this profession, because you sure helped me to have fun with house buying. Thank you.

Dear Richard:
Wow! You listed and sold our property in just 11 hours. We wanted to thank you for your informative tips prior to placing the home on the market. Your knowledge and expertise of the market was key in our success. When we are ready to sell another home we will be calling you.
Thank you again for all you did to make the sale go as smooth as possible and taking care of all the details throughout the entire transaction.
Sincerely,
Dan L.
Richard,
Relocating from the East Coast to Rapid City was much easier because of your professional and informative services. Viewing houses to select for my new home in the area was greatly facilitated by the advance coordination you provided during my tow house hunting visits.
Once I identified a home to purchase and I returned to the East Coast to pur my home there on the market, you kept me advised of the latest status on my home purchase and also provided many helpful reminders regarding relocation and establishing new utility accounts. I greatly appreciated the fact that you personally checked on the status of various items that were yet to be completed by the builder. This, alone, made me feel that I was in good hands with you as my representative.
Your services were thorough, responsive, informative and professional. Thank you for making my transition go smoothly.
Sincerely,
Connie

Good Morning Richard:
I wanted to let you know that I was also very impressed with your professionalism during the transaction. It was nice not having to hunt the Realtor down at any point during the transaction. It was almost like you were one step ahead of me at all times. I will definitely be recommending you to future clients!!
Thanks again Richard

Dear Richard,
It is always a pleasure working with you. I have heard nothing but good things about you from our mutual clients. The way you look out for their every need has always impressed me. There are very few real estate agents who work as hard as you representing your clients throughout the home buying process. Your diligence and attention to detail reflect the type of customer service that I am sure anyone would appreciate.
I cannot stress enough how the extra effort that you put into watching out for your clients' well being is appreciated. I would confidently recommend you to anyone in need of a professional Realtor.
Sincerely,
Mike M.
Through a business association, I had know Richard Ives for quite some time. He had always been friendly, thoughtful, and energetic and we enjoyed a very pleasant relationship. When it came time to sell my business, I immediately thought of him as the most likely person to represent my interests.
Richard justified my faith in him by using all the tools at his disposal to inform the public of the sale of my business and to locate and interview potential buyers. Richard's efforts paid off in short order and the sale was completed to everyone's satisfaction. At all times, he was attentive to the events and circumstances which affected the sale and kept me informed nearly daily of developments. Besides his work at actually selling, he also kept the paperwork current and made the legalities clear to me. His wealth of knowledge of the real estate business is well above average and his "desk-side" manner was above reproach.
My thanks go to Richard for caring enough to provide the very best.
Dianne
Dear Richard, You were there when you were needed the most. Thanks for all the time, effort and devotion you contributed to make this house happen.
It will always be appreciated. You're the best Realtor!
Luke
Dear Richard: You made the sale of our home go so smoothly. We appreciate your hard work, Richard.
Thank you again, Chelsea
Dear Richard: A very belated thank you is in order for the coffee mugs you sent us. They have become our mugs of choice and are used daily! We have been in our house for over a year now and still love it. You sure made our move and transition to this area smooth. For that we are very thankful.
John Testimonial letter: Richard Ives sold our home in record time. It was only on the market for six days. Since we were relocating to the East Coast due to a job transfer, Richard handled every aspect of our transaction. He was available to open the house for all inspections and kept us up to date on all that was going on. We are so glad he was at our side. Selling a home can be a nightmare, but Richard guided us through as a real professional. He made the entire transaction very smooth and pain free. We now consider him a friend. Thank you Richard for all of your help! We will definitely recommend you to any who is planning on buying or selling real estate.

Dear Richard, We wanted to thank you and tell you what a pleasure it was working with you on the purchase of our new home. Our experience with you was just wonderful. Since we were first time home buyers who were relocating from Minneapolis it could have been stressful at times but you were right there to help us with all of the details. From start to finish you coordinated the home inspection, and closing as well as handling every detail of the transaction. We felt very comfortable with you and never felt "High pressured" in any way, and the home you found us was perfect. We could not have been more pleased with you and all of your hard work and we could not have asked for a better Realtor. Rest assured you will be highly recommended to all our friends and family.
Catherine
It was a pleasure to have Richard as my Realtor; he worked hard and found exactly the property I wanted and could afford. Because I was single and female, many Realtors assumed that I would not be able to purchase any property and therefore totally ignored me, or worse, told me that I was financially inadequate (before they know anything about me or my finances). Richard was the only Realtor in town who took me seriously and treated me with respect as a legitimate business client. I truly appreciate that. Thank you Richard!
Sincerely, Kathy
Dear Richard:
Richard Ives was very helpful and knowledgeable about the area. He provided information about local schools, hospitals and details about the area. Richard coordinated the rent-back of the property, finding a lender and setting up the closing of the property.
Richard was always available to answer questions, show multiple properties and keep us informed about details and developments of our transaction.
I would highly recommend Richard Ives as a Realtor to anyone buying or selling property for a worry-free and enjoyable transaction.
Thanks for all of your help Richard! Alan & Linda
As a home inspector I have had the opportunity to work with a large number of realtors, one of those realtors is Richard Ives. In the instances I have dealt with Richard he has always proven himself to be competent and thorough person who has performed in a professional manner. While RichardÕs main goal has always been his customer it has been a pleasure to work with him. I would ask Richard to represent me in any home transaction and therefore would recommend him to anyone who has need of his services.
Sincerely, Scott
Dear Richard: Just a note to let you know that I enjoyed working with you on your recent closing. You were efficient and helpful when it came to our insurance problem. Hope to see you soon at another closing. Thank you for all your assistance.
Sincerely, Coleen
To whom it may concern: This letter is to recommend Richard Ives as a highly professional real estate agent. He assisted me with the purchase of a 1973 mobile home so the commission was a small one. The long distance transaction was stressful and difficult and Mr. Ives went above and beyond the call of duty in helping me complete the transaction.
Very truly yours, Pat Montana

To Prospective Clients of our Friends, Richard and Marylin Ives: We are writing to tell about the great job Richard and Marylin Ives have done selling our House.
We were relocating to Pennsylvania, and needed to sell our house in a hurry. Richard and Marilyn went above and beyond the call of duty. Their advice was critical in arranging a sale to meet the special needs of the buyer in a situation, which would have otherwise been very stressful. Finally we were able to sell the house for a fair profit after having lived in it only 2 and half years. We found them readily available, and kept us well informed throughout the entire process of selling our house.
Knowing Marylyn and Richard as both realtors, and also as our friends, we strongly recommend them based on their solid work ethic for a worry free transaction.
Sincerely Mark Campbell and Joan Zhou

To whom it may concern: I have been a mortgage lender for the past 19 years and I am pleased to recommend Richard Ives as a real estate professional who provides excellent service to his customers. I recently closed a loan for a customer of Richards and I was very impressed with his attention to details throughout the loan process. He maintained close contact with all parties involved and kept me informed to any changes as they occurred. I believe that he provides an excellent level of service to his customers as well as his real estate colleagues.
I would not hesitate to recommend Richard Ives to anyone who is in the market to buy or sell real estate.
Sincerely, Jan
