My wife and I recently had the pleasure of working with Brad Fricke. He is a great realtor with exceptional knowledge, communication, and personalized service. He understands the market and was always available to answer our questions and always followed up promptly with any inquiries we had. I would highly recommend Brad to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy real estate agent.

Friends recommended Brad because of their positive experience and I am so glad they did. Brad explained the process in detail and answered all of our questions. He was always available. Thanks to great advise and preparation, our house sold in 3 days and for over our asking price. I would definitely recommend Brad for anyone needed to buy/sell their house.

Brad has helped me and members of my family on 7 sales and purchases in the past 2 years, and each time he has been knowledgeable, professional and great to work with. I have family members in real estate, and I still choose to work with Brad instead!

Absolutely amazed by the performance Brad did with scouting out things in the homes we saw. He was very honest about things he was worried about in homes we looked at or any part in the process. This is our second time buying a home and I wish we went with him the first time! He was involved in every aspect and I knew we could message/ call him with any questions we had. Even after the sale he’s still there answering questions for us! 100% recommend him for anyone wanting an honest agent who’s not trying to rush you into the first house you see just to make a quick buck.

Brad is phenomenal! As a first time buyer I was nervous, and unsure of what I wanted, but Brad was patient and guided me through the process with ease. He was proactive about the properties I was interested in, always quick to respond, and very knowledgeable. He really knows his stuff and more than that, is an awesome human being to work with. I recommend Brad to everyone I know, 12/10.

I highly recommend Brad! He provided outstanding service selling my home and helping me purchase a new home. Brad understands that it is not just a house he is selling, but it is someone’s home with years of memories. I completely trusted him and had confidence in him. I can’t imagine anyone better!
