   Rick Goates is an enigma - in a world of declining ethics and easily broken promises, Rick shines by being everything he claims to be and seeing through to completion everything he commits to. Then he goes a mile, two, and even farther, to make sure his clients are happy and genuinely satisfied with his service. Gosh, what a rarity! How could someone with such integrity help but become not only our valued real estate agent but our treasured friend as well! Shucks, we like him and his beautiful family so well, we bought a house in the same neighborhood! (Well, it just happened to work out that way really, but, heck, we moved in already knowing we had at least one GREAT neighbor! :-)

Thanks, Rick, for the superior service helping us find the "perfect" home, for your continued friendship, and for trusting us enough to mention that there was a house available on the same street as yours (sounds like a potential setup for a realtor's worst nightmare! - but we'll never give you cause to lose sleep over it...we promise ;-) ).

With fond regards,
Robert & Sheree Christian

We couldn't have done it without him! We were trying to sell our home ourselves and had a terrible experience! We were hounded by tons of agents that just wanted to list our home and we felt really didn't have our best interests at heart. We talked with Rick and knew that he was different.
He listened to what we needed and got our home sold quickly and for close to what we wanted.
He made it an easy deal which we needed as we were moving out of state and had already wasted so much time trying to make it happen on our own.

Highly recommended!

Rick is Great! We are looking for land in Shasta County and currently live in Los Angeles County. So we needed someone to help us with our long distance search. Rick is the only agent who has taken the time to continually send us new listings to consider. We have not yet found the parcel we want to purchase, but I have no doubt that soon we will with Rick's continued help. Kathy D.

Rick made it easy! Rick found us the perfect house for our needs, and in our price range. He also put us in touch with some good people who helped our transaction go smoothly and quickly. We relocated back to Redding, from Merced. Rick was MORE than helpful at both ends. We are extremely satisfied with his way of doing business, and recommend him highly to everyone looking to buy or sell. We owe him a lot. He made, what could have been quite difficult, very easy. If we didn't call him, he called us. It didn't matter when or where he was, even bording a business flight out of town, Rich took the time to call us and make sure we were doing alright. DON't bother looking for anyone else, we promise you Rick is more than qualified, and goes out of his way to do the best he can for your needs. THANK YOU RICK! Your friends, Butch & Tish T.

Rick was there every step of the way! “We watched Rick in action when he sold our home six months ago. He was the buyer’s agent. When it was time for us to buy another home, we knew who our Realtor would be ~ RICK GOATES! Rick was there for us every step of the way. He is very dependable, reliable and attentive. From helping us find a rental home to the closing of our new home, he made sure everything was in place. He listened to what we were looking for, and always watched out for our best interest. Rick found us the house we were dreaming of. We are so happy in our new home. Thank you, Rick. When you’re ready to buy or sell a home call Rick Goates. You’ll be glad you did!” Mr Rich and Janine B.
