Testimonials

• To everyone interested, here’s our experience with buying and selling a home with the assistance of Rick Pezzner, Broker of the LapTop Real Estate:

When we found the house we wanted to buy, we contacted Rick. We knew he would help us complete the transaction in a competent manner. It turned out he was not only competent but also outstanding in negotiating the price and getting the deal closed.

When it came time to sell our other house, we selected another Realtor on the advice of a business associate (that was our first mistake). She had an incredible presentation for what she would do to market the home. As it turned out, a lot of what she said either took much longer than she proposed or didn’t happen at all! We became frustrated and sought out the services of Rick Pezzner once again.

Rick’s presentation was virtually the same as the previous Realtor but the delivery of what was proposed was entirely different. The most important difference came in the level of enthusiasm that was evidenced by him throughout the process. He was always available by phone within minutes.

He followed through on everything that he promised. He was confident in his approach and explained things truthfully to us without inventing silly excuses.

We were very pleased with everything he did to sell our house as well as buy the new one.

He takes care of business and gets the job done. I know he can do a good job for you!
