Because you deserve Platinum!

I have worked with Rick and Donna on multiple occasions each time receiving the quality I expect. They are realistic agents with top notch credentials. They understand the art of selling real property in this down market. They have not just beat me up over price. They have continued to provide exceptional service to my clients and myself when we call upon them.

Rick & Donna were great to work with! They were always available to answer any questions we had and always gave honest feedback. They made the process of buying a home a pleasure.

– Scott & Alison Weingold

After working with a few buyer's real estate agents with whom I was unsatisfied, I was lucky to be referred to Rick and Donna. Rick and Donna helped me find great candidate homes and give me good advice for making offers when I found my dream home and was ready to buy. Rick and Donna were always punctual and had deep knowledge of homes that helped answer my questions and feel comfortable with my purchase.

– Jim Suffolk

Rick and Donna are professionals who excel in the real estate professional field. My wife and I are very please with the work they have done for us. Not only have they showed problem solving creativity they have also taught us a lot about the real estate market and how to approach various issues we may have.

The Fine Homes Team sold my home in 2011 for approximately $725k in Edgewater, Cleveland, OH. I was very skeptical that the Platinum team could deliver what they promised when I signed the listing, but they proved me wrong! My house had been listed for over two years with another agent without a single offer. The Platinum team came in and told me some cosmetic things to change, and within 1 week I had an offer on my house, and was closed within a matter of weeks. They were everything they promised and more. I was living out of the country and the transaction went very smoothly, and they dealt with issues for me that I could not do by being away. I highly recommend the entire team, but I found Donna extremely helpful. They excelled in: * Local knowledge: * Process expertise: * Responsiveness: * Negotiation skills:
