The most difficult thing for me to do is to talk about myself.  Yes, I am retired from the United States Army in 2001 and consider myself to be intelligent, hard-working, honest, sincere and candid.  I will always explain to my clients the pros and cons in every single situation as I have an expression that I follow every single day.  "Bad news does not get better with age".  I am not a yes man, and will fully explain all aspects affecting the purchase or sale of your home.  You as my potential client do not want a yes man, you want someone that will treat this as a business transaction.  We will have plenty of time after the deal closes to be friends, right now you need and want a professional.  I have developed my niche in the entire North Valley from Fountain Hills to Surprise.  I love meeting new and exciting people that share the same family values that I do.  We all know that buying and especially selling a home is one of the most stressful undertakings in todays society.  I can help reduce your stress through effective communication, strong marketing strageties, along with very strong negotiating skills.  If you afford me the opportunity to team with you in the buying or selling of your next property, you will quickly realize that you have partnered with a professional, business oriented, knowledgeable Realtor that willl strive to meet or exceed your every espectation.  Please visit my website at http://www.donrichhomes.com.  On my website you find city and town demographic information, search MLS for properties, request your current homes value, as well as mortgage calculators, relocation information, daily stock market prices and of course the weather.  Whether you are relocating in the Valley of the Sun or doing a cross country move, I have the experience to make your move easier, more pleasant, with less stress.  I fully understand the stresses of buying and selling.  I will provide keen insight as to the timing of placing your home on the market and ensuring that you have ample time to transition to your new home.  Thank you for taking the time to read this bio and I look forward to working with you and yours in the near future.

         Just recently I added  a free MLS search on my website http://www.donrichhomes.com/.  You do not have to sign in and its absolutely free to all.

My areas of expertise are in residential real estate.  Starter homes to high-end homes makes no difference.  Please remember Realtors very seldom sell homes, homes sell themselves with Realtors providing the tools and visibility necessary for the public to make an informed decision.  I do specialize in Internet marketing and advertise on over 20 web sites so your home gets the maximum visibility.  I also excel in negotiating the deal.  Your wants and desires will be strictly adhered to throughout the entire buying and selling process.  Through open and honest communication, we will partner to achieve our goals.  If you are looking for an experienced Real Estate Agent, that is tech saavy, great communicator, and will get you the most for your home, Please look no farther.  Over 70 percent of all home buyers begin their home search on the internet.  As previously stated I currently maintain a massive internet presence that will greatly assist with the expediant sale of your home.

If you are in the market for a new or existing home allow my vast knowledge of the Phoenix area to work for you.  I can point out the sub-divisions that are in demand and have a thorough understanding of what homes are worth.  Whether you are a home buying expert or a first time buyer, I will be there every step of the way from the home search to the close of escrow. 

Don listed and sold our home in May 05 in less than 24 hours and personally brought in the buyer.  He took the guess work out of the sale and kept us informed every step of the way.  Don is a very caring class act that I highly recommend.  He earned our confidence and trust and is now a valued friend of the family.

Don listed our home in Mar 2005 and sold the home in 1 day.  He was  directly responsible for bringing in the buyer.  Our home sold for several thousand over the asking price.  He is energetic, intelligent and was very concerned and caring towards us.  He is the only Real Estate Agent I would ever consider.

After working with a few Realtors trying to find a house in Sun City West with no luck and feeling like we were not very important, along came Don Rich.  He promised us that he would work very hard and keep us informed in finding us a new home.  Within 2 days he found us a home that was perfect that met all our needs.  He is truly a professional that can be relied upon.  Utilize his experience in Real Estate, he will get the job done!

Ken and Mary Boyd,  Sun City West, May 05

A remarkable person and true professional.  He was our Buyers Agent and represented us with much dignity.  He is the only person we would ever consider to buy or sell a property.  He truly cares about people much more than the sale.  We without hesitation give Don our highest recommendation.  We are now proud to call him our friend.

Great caring service!  Leaves no stone un-turned!  Found us a great home at a great  price.  Don Rich exceeded all expectations and made this a very simple home sale.

While in the process of selling my home with another agent, I knew that I did no want this same agent to find my new home.  I called Don and he was so professional and showed us over 20 homes.  He seemed to know exactly what we were looking for and found us the most wonderful dream home.  If you are in need a really great Real Estate Agent, that really and truly cares, call Don
