Merritt Island Dream Homes By

Rick was my agent as both a buyer and later as a seller on the same house and was outstanding both times.

As a buyer, he knew all the areas and what to look for and what to watch out for. He made efficient schedules to see all the houses I wanted and was very flexible with last minute changes. When I found the right place, he knew just how much to offer and negotiate for some concessions and repairs. So of course, I called him back when I needed to move.

So I’ve read through the other reviews on this stream, and I 100% Agree with all the other above reviews. He went above and beyond, fixed up a bunch of things himself most of which I didn’t even know about until I sold the property.

He painted, got a handyman, removed extraneous decorations, and even replaced an appliance on his own dime after it came up during inspection. I recommend contacting him especially if you are working with waterfront property.

He was great. I would definitely reach out to him again when in the buy/sell market of the Space Coast.

Rick is absolutely wonderful. We worked with him to sell our house and he made the experience as easy as possible. He really went out of his way to guide us through the selling process.

Rick also managed to procure us our dream home in the midst of an extremely competitive market. I am forever grateful to him for all the time he spent working for my family to make that happen. He always took our calls and came to every inspection. Rick is honest and generous with his knowledge of homes. We felt confident buying a house with him. Cannot recommend him enough!!

After working with a different realtor for over a month and getting nowhere, Rick found the perfect condo for me in under 2 hours. He really took the time to listen.

Rick goes above and beyond as a seller’s agent. He came right over and looked around to make suggestions on what we could improve in the time we had — and then did them himself. He replaced my dead sprinkler pump and all of the old heads, had all of the trees trimmed up nicely, found a gardener to come by weekly after he added seed all around the house.

Most impressively, he redid the whole planter in front of the entire house by pulling out an old dead tree, adding new mulch, and planting beautiful flowers with a centerpiece that altogether gave the place dramatically improved curb appeal. He again knew how to negotiate with buyers and found the right ones and I couldn’t be happier with how easy Rick made things.

Rick was wonderful to work with when buying our new condo and selling our old one. He went above and beyond in so many areas. He was a great help in achieving our goal!

Buying and selling as a snowbird was hard enough but Rick was always there for us!
He is a professional in every way. We would work with him again for sure!

Rick was both very insightful and helpful with preparing our home for the sale. He transformed our garden to something you would see on the cover of Better Homes and Gardens. He made himself available to us around the clock. I would definitely work with him again!

I’m a veteran and Richard Houston went above and beyond his duty as a realtor he got the seller to put a new roof on the house

We have only good things to say about Rick. We just closed on selling our condo today after a quick sale. We discussed the market and with his advice came up with the right selling price. He wasn’t afraid to get his hands dirty when we were getting it ready to show. His eagerness was contagious. He kept us in the loop at all times. We would certainly recommend him without hesitation

Rick knows the Space Coast area well and was able to provide the input we needed when trying to decide on neighborhoods.  He was patient in showing properties over 4 months as we searched for our ideal home in our price point.

Rick assisted us in determining the right offer price, although the owners counter-offered.  He also aided with all the various inspections to insure there were no major issues.  He recommended an insurance agent, electrician and even pet care to make our adjustment to a new area easier.  I believe Rick had our best interest in mind and I hope to refer other buyers and sellers to him in the future.

Rick was great to work with; extremely responsive and knowledgeable.   My husband and I were new to the home buying process, but Rick walked us through every step.  We ended up with a wonderful vacation condo at a good price.  Many thanks to Rick for all of his help!!!

Rick is an amazing realtor! His level of knowledge and expertise in all levels of real estate made this process so much easier for a first time home buyer. Home buying is an emotional and stressful process and Rick has been so compassionate and understanding. Text, call or email he is always accessible. He also answers questions. He never laughed at my silly questions! Lol.

He actually listened to my needs and showed me homes based on them rather than trying to get me to commit to something I was uncomfortable with. I also have no doubt that his positive attitude, reputation and rapport with others in the community made sellers comfortable working with him. Thank you, Rick, for everything

Mr. Houston was the best Real Estate Professional I have ever worked with.  He was very knowledgeable about the area and units available, as well as navigating the purchasing process.  

I look forward to working with Rick with my future investments in the area, strongly recommend using Rick Houston as an agent if you’re looking to buy or sell homes on the Space Coast.

We couldn’t be happier with our home purchase experience. Rick and his team broke the mold. Their responsiveness (day and night), expertise, local knowledge, and commitment to service is unmatched!

He and his team were always available to answer questions. They were always available to explore properties and provide unbiased insight. They always had our interest in mind, guiding us through the process, making recommendations and adjustments to better suit our goals, and letting us know what to expect at each step along the way. They truly went above and beyond – even taking on logistics challenges (that were not his responsibility) to make the experience seamless for everyone.

Rick Houston was very helpful and knowledgeable. He worked hard to close the deal when challenges were presented. We were able to find a house and close in about 5 weeks!

My husband and I were looking to relocate to the Cocoa/Merritt Island area. The first house we came across that we were interested in looking at was a listing by Rick Houston.  My first conversation with him I could tell immediately he would be the agent we would be working with throughout our process of finding the right home for us. He was extremely knowledgeable about the real estate market and let me set the guidelines in finding our new home. 

From pricing to location to even small things like a fence for our Dogs.  He was a pleasure to work with and very personable.He also returned my calls immediately.  We were still trying to sell our home outside Orlando and had run in to quite a few problems with the buyer’s agent to the buyer to the appraisal. Rick is one of the best, if not the best person to call for all your real estate needs.  Thank you so much Rick.  We love our new home!!!
