Rick and Kara strike again! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with this dynamic duo on the sale of an investment property earlier this year, and it was an obvious choice to work with them again now on the buy side. In today’s market and an ever-evolving industry, having a team you can trust is the secret to finding your dream home.

Unflinching, Kara and Rick both kept clear heads, coached us with sound advice, and maintained positive outlooks that ultimately got us across the finish line and into our new home. We are so grateful for these two who went above and beyond to make it all happen in a relatively short time frame. From arranging private showings to rearranging personal schedules to be by our side, these two know what it takes to make it happen. Anyone would be lucky to go through this process with someone as compassionate as Kara and as charming as Rick, together they make the home-buying process approachable, understandable, and fun!
Loved working with Kara and Rick! It's a confusing and difficult process, and we felt like we were in good hands throughout. They were patient, on top of everything, and ultimately got us a good deal on the perfect house!
Kara and Rick were so incredibly helpful throughout the process of purchasing our new home. They are outstanding, and we highly recommend working with them to anyone! They made the process of buying a house seamless, smooth, and stress-free for us as first-time home buyers in a situation with multiple offers. They took time to clearly educate us on the process and explain all the details. They are very detail-oriented and excellent communicators. They were available to answer our questions at almost any time of the day or week and helped coach us through the process, ensuring documents were properly filed on time. They were flexible on the times to meet. They also have very warm personalities and were a pleasure to work with. Thank you so much, Kara and Rick, for making this process a breeze and being wonderful professionals and human beings!
Kara was a phenomenal realtor. This market is one of the toughest we have ever seen, and she was so patient, kind, and encouraging. She dealt with the ups and downs with grace and extensive knowledge. Her advice was golden and never led us wrong. We were able to sell our house and get everything we could have asked for, and we were able to buy a fantastic home. She is the best realtor we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with and will never go to anyone else (although we hope to not buy for a long time).
I have worked with Rick for the past five years as my listing agent, and he has sold four of my properties. He helped me make more money on the sale of my houses than I expected. I appreciate that he was honest and forthcoming with his advice and strategies to sell my homes, plus he kept me calm throughout the stressful process. He is intelligent and very hardworking. Rick is a class act and very knowledgeable about the Real Estate market. I highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.
Rick worked with my wife and me over several years to identify the right regions and property types to meet our lifestyle goals. He's knowledgeable about the market and process, great at bringing quality folks into the home-buying process, and expedient in processing required forms. I've encouraged my soon-to-buy friends to work with him for their first homes. Rick is a great resource.
Kara and Rick were absolutely amazing to work with. Being a first-time homebuyer in a competitive market was a bit overwhelming. But they were incredible, walking us through every step of the process. They guided us in negotiations and helped us craft an offer that was accepted. They made the home-buying process easy. They are kind and intelligent communicators, and we knew we were supported through it all. We are now happily living in our dream location, thanks to Kara and Rick!
Buying a home is always stressful, and an agent who you can speak openly to like a close friend makes a huge difference. Kara is that agent.
Rick is very knowledgeable and professional. I really appreciated his help in navigating my home purchase. He made everything easier to understand and helped smoothen the process at every step. He is quick to action, communicative, and patient - which helps reduce the anxieties that come with a home purchase. I would definitely recommend him to new home buyers. Really happy to have been able to work with Rick!
Rick was always quick to respond to our questions, and the whole home buying process could not have gone more smoothly. I would definitely recommend Rick and Rodeo Realty.
Kara was so amazing to work with. She was so responsive, knowledgable and flexible. I felt so supported throughout the entire process and she really understood our needs. I felt like a priority the whole time we worked together. Highly highly recommend working with Kara; I definitely will if we find ourselves moving again. She's a true gem.
Kara was fantastic to work with from start to finish. She was knowledgeable about the property, always quick to respond, and thorough during every walkthrough. Even though she was the listing agent, she made us feel supported and never one-sided. She went above and beyond with recommendations, helped us navigate the rental market, and made sure we never felt rushed or overlooked. Kara is kind, resourceful, and truly makes you feel like a person—not just a sale. We always felt like she had our best interest in mind. Highly recommend working with her!
As it was my first time looking to purchase a home, I did not know how to start or how the process work. Kara was so kind to guide us in our journey of buying our first home. She gave us alot of advice and suggestions. She also help us understand the procedures and contracts when we decide to purchase a new build home. She was with us through the whole process. I'm grateful to have her as my relator.
Fantastic agent--reliable, responsible, knowledgeable, savvy, and on his client's side 100% of time. I loved working with him and love the condo that we bought together and highly recommend him. He made the process as smooth and easy as it can ever be and I knew he was protecting my interests every step of the way.
Rick knows what he's doing. When we were looking for a new place in Redondo, he immediately sent us an entire list that catered to our specific taste rather than every available option. He was very comfortable to work with in that there was no pressure to make a hasty move until we found what was best for us. Once we did, he was so helpful in negotiating terms and rates and moving quickly (a must in the South Bay). You can tell he's more about the longer term relationship than a quick flip. I'm happy to recommend him.
We had a wonderful experience working with Kara. She was extremely hard-working, patient, and kind throughout the entire home-buying process. She took the time to explain everything clearly, never rushed us, and always made us feel comfortable with our decisions. What really stood out was her thoughtfulness—she even surprised us with a lovely gift for our new home and made us feel truly welcomed. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and caring agent.
Kara was a great spirit. We worked for several months together until she helped me to finally close on my final home choice. Kara was always reachable and quick to respond. She has went out of her way to meet me seeing houses all over LA and the Valley. Kara was also helpful through out the closing process such as reminding me to every deadline, advice for things to check for, recommendations of people for inspections. I would recommend working with Kara and still appreciate all her help everyday.
I could not be more thrilled with the experience I had selling my condominium unit with Kara! I was having a few troubles of my own and she absolutely came in to save the day. Kara is attentive, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and communicative with every step and aspect of the process of helping sell your home. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a Real Estate Agent in the Los Angeles area!
Wow. Just wow. No words. Moving from Chicago to SoCal was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done. Throw your entire young family into the mix and the challenge reaches unimaginable proportions. But Kara kept us grounded. And hopeful. With a mind to close the deal. She had spreadsheets for appointments, personal connections with every broker on the other side.. she took the fear of every obstacle we faced and made it simply disappear. On top of the ease of our experience, she landed us our dream home. We still can’t actually believe how lucky we are! This woman knows exactly what she is doing and has her clients best interest in mind at all times. What and exceptional experience. Thank you Kara!
Kara is a professional. She pays attention to detail and the needs of her clients. From staging to negotiating with my contractors and buyers, she made a somewhat grueling experience enjoyable with her knowledge and expertise. She truly was a pleasure to work with and I look forward to her helping with my future projects!
Kara has been very helpful in helping us find a place as my family relocates to LA. She’s been great at recommending areas to live that is family friendly and in a good school district for our little one. She’s very professional, detail oriented, and fast to respond to any questions that we have. We’re very happy to be working with her!
