Testimonials
Ritch was great. He far exceeded our expectations. This was a first home purchase for us and Ritch made sure we were continuously informed and also covered so many things we didn't know to look for. Ritch worked very hard for us. I have and will strongly recommend Ritch to others.
Karina Tribble
We just purchased our third house with Ritch Haenke. Now that we have had time to take in that we have bought a new house, and the work is just beginning, we wanted to share know how much we appreciate everything Ritch has done for us during this process.
Our past experiences with realtors had made us a little wary, but Ritch was fantastic. We met Ritch several years ago when we first began to consider a move to Austin. During that time, he kept in touch with us, helped us narrow down what we were looking for, and continued to educate us on the market (even though we couldn't even give him a clear time frame on our move!) And, even when we finally got here few months ago we rented an apartment instead of buying a house! Ritch never seemed inpatient and was always willing to answer every question, showing us house after house. This week we finally made a decision and are now happy owners of a new house that we are excited about and feel like we got a great deal on...Ritch's attention to detail, follow through, knowledge of the market, and great listening skills are just a few of the qualities that set him apart and make him the exception and not the norm.
We know that Ritch went way above and beyond the call of duty, and that is what sets him apart from the rest. We truly feel that he is not the norm but the exception, as not very many go the distance he has traveled.
Ritch, thank you very much for being not only a great realtor but a great person. If there is ever anything we can do for you please call, and if you are ever in the neighborhood please stop by as you are always welcome.
Bruce & Corey Swartz
Ritch listened and understood exactly what I was looking for and showed me my dream home. He was always available to answer all my questions. I am sure I would have been all over the place if he hadn't been there for me. He made the transition extremely smooth and painless. I never felt any pressure to settle for anything. I always trusted that he had my best interest.
Janice Brooker
Ritch knew us well, what we liked, what we did not like and helped to find the right property for us. Ritch helped walk us through the process and made sure that we were on top of things.
Mr. Scott Carruth
Among many realtors that I have used, I would rank Ritch to be the best because of the following reasons: 1. He was very patient with us. He let us take time to make decisions. 2. He is not persuasive, not pushing around to take us to the places where he would like us to go. 3. Right off the start, he could sense what kind of neighborhoods we were looking for. 4. Since we were new to the city, he took us to various alternative neighborhoods to give us an idea of the city. Overall, Ritch is not only a good realtor, he is an excellent human being. We enjoyed every moment when we spent with him in the past year.
Mr. Sirish Pande
Nothing could have gone better. Ritch was perfect in every way from helping us find the right "fit", to helping answer questions quickly from clueless homebuyers (us!), and even gave wonderful advice reflective of his expertise regarding when to worry and when not to worry. I consider Ritch a friend after this experience. You are lucky to have him on your team, and I am lucky he was part of ours in acquiring our new home.
Katie Howard
Two years ago, my wife Angel and I spent a Saturday with Jonathan from Realty Austin in May of 2008 looking at properties in the areas of Circle C and Dripping Springs, among other locations.
Given the approval of my employer, Snap-on Tools, we were finally able to relocate to Austin - a 10 year old dream. This past April, Jonathan connected us with Ritch Haenke to locate a property.
I just wanted to follow-up with positive feedback about Ritch because we think he did a wonderful job, not only locating a property but also helping in many other ways outside the boundaries of his real estate job.
In one word, Ritch was awesome! He is friendly, easy to work with and handled all aspects of the sale from the first introduction to the move-in date and beyond. I can't say enough how pleased we were while working with Ritch. He was in contact often enough to help us understand where we were in the process and he handled a difficult seller with tact and admirable control.
I know many businesses only hear negative feedback, so I wanted to take a little time to share my thoughts on this high-quality agent representing Realty Austin. Years from now I know we'll be back doing business again because of our experience with Realty Austin and Ritch's positive representation.
Regards,
Brian and Angel Mulhern
We could not be happier with Ritch. He was extremely helpful, highly professional, and guided us through the process of buying our home. We will highly recommend Ritch to our friends and colleagues.
Anshu Das Gupta
I want to thank you for ALL your hard work and dedication to this project. I don't know where we would be without you. I knew in the first few minutes of meeting you that you were the right man for the job. You proved that again over these last few days. You did an amazing job at keeping the buyer on track and dealing with my frustrations. The added drama of the nationwide real estate situation has contributed to making things more emotional at times and I appreciate you sticking with us through this very difficult time.
Joe G., Local Investor
Ritch was wonderful to work with! He was pro-active in his search for buyers, a strong negotiator, and very responsive. I would recommend him to all of my family and friends. Ritch was a great listener and very helpful during the entire process of our relocation. Two thumbs up! Thank you very much.
Tracy, Home Seller
Ritch, you were great, one of the very best. Please feel free to use us as a reference. And thank YOU for sticking it out with us! You will remember that our first agent jumped ship very early in the sales process. You stuck with us through some very tough weeks and eventually we all got it done! Kudos to your for your "stick-to-itiveness," aka resilience in the face of the home sale from hell. - Justin - Relocating Home Seller Hello Ritch - I received the package today. Thanks a lot for all your help in making the purchase process a smooth and enjoyable one!
Edgar, First Time Home Buyer
It’s us again! We are still here in Canyon Creek and really feel like it’s time to get our house on the market and hopefully take advantage of the higher inventory levels and find something closer to what we want long term.
