Rick Luisi

Making you "home happy" with a sanctuary you love coming home to.

What do Clients Say?

"Rick went above and beyond as our realtor! From the very start he delved in to ensure our interests were fully represented. He asked great questions to determine our wants and desires which then allowed him to present us with the best options without wasting time - which was especially important as an out of town client. Rick's knowledge of construction/remodeling was also very valuable throughout the process and he seemed to take each step as if he were doing it for himself, which made us feel like we were in great hands. If someone is looking for a realtor who is knowledgeable, on top of things, quick and going to make a deal happen, then Rick is your guy. We are thrilled with the house we purchased and can't imagine buying it with anyone else. "

"I am delighted to share with you my experience with your agent, Rick Luisi. Really, I am a little hard-pressed to come up with words superlative enough to describe Rick’s work. Three things about Rick stand out to me: his interpersonal skills, his persistence, and the effort he puts into his work. Rick built a solid relationship with me from our first visit, and within a couple of hours, I could tell he was on my team. He demonstrated again and again the skills of listening and remembering what I had said and what was important to me. Rick has the wonderful – and I believe quite rare – combination of high energy, enthusiasm, friendliness and detail-orientation. My house search had its ups and downs. It is a tough market now as you know. Persistence turned out to be a huge factor in the success outcome. Rick was solid as a rock throughout the entire process and very positive as well. When we had a setback, he didn’t waver for a second; he lept into solving the problem and finding another house that would be even better. In the end, the house we found is the best of all, even though we thought others along the way were going to be wonderful. Rick is an amazingly hard worker. Once again, that is such an understatement that it doesn’t scratch the surface on being accurate about his approach to his work. He took on my house search with more enthusiasm and energy than I have ever experienced before, and I have bought a dozen or so houses in my life. It was obvious that Rick was thinking about how to get the best house for me all the time, not just the time we were together. He would call often and let me know some detail to consider that he had thought of. Rick spent considerable time and effort putting together a persuasive case to request a lowering of the price from the seller, and was successful in accomplishing it. He put in many, many hours of work, and worked as my advocate with the sellers. Never did I doubt that Rick was squarely on my side in the search and that he was an excellent adviser to help me get the house that best matched my needs and desires for the best price possible. You are very fortunate to Rick Luisi on your team. I know I certainly was lucky to have him on my team! I will be referring him to anyone I know in the market, and I am happy to be a reference to any potential customers on the quality of his work."

"I just wanted you to know how I feel about Rick Luisi as my realtor. I would highly recommend Rick as a realtor to anyone. Not only is he a fun, gregarious person to be around, he is an intelligent, educated realtor. I have purchased and sold many properties over the years, and I hired Rick to help me find another property in Austin. He guided me to the core areas, giving me the statistics and data for me to make a good investment decision. After looking at a couple of houses, Rick new exactly what I was looking for, to the point I could trust him to preview houses when I was unable to make it. Once my offer was made, Rick stayed on top of the negotiations, even though the seller was on vacation and difficult to get on the phone. He was able to negotiate every detail to be completed by the seller and stayed on top of the list insuring that all was finished as needed. Rick helped me through the whole process until the house was closed. Contacting the surveyor and appraiser for me, as well as sending me a list of inspectors from which to choose. I knew if I became a little busy at work that he would make sure nothing was forgotten and no deadlines were missed. Rick communicated with all parties well, helping to facilitate all processes and paying attention to the details. I believe Rick is a good choice for any level of buyer, first time or veteran. I will definitely contact Rick to be my buyer’s agent or represent me if I choose to sell a property, and I will recommend him to my friends. He represents Coldwell Banker well."

"Rick was my realtor for a recent home purchase and I highly recommend him to anyone about to list or purchase a property. He is so perfectly suited to his profession - the consummate professional with superb negotiation and people skills. Rick was very involved in keeping track of deadlines and where the transaction was at any point in time with me, the sellers, the title company, my lender, etc. as well as keeping me informed of any new information regarding the transaction as it progressed. Since I was an out of town buyer and unavailable to be at the property at a moment's notice, Rick made himself available at all times to assist in a second roof inspection, picking up house keys, assisting in negotiating the purchase of some of the seller's items, etc. He was indispensable to me during the entire process and I feel so fortunate to have had him working so hard on my behalf through this process. I can highly recommend using Rick as your realtor - you'll be very glad you did."
