“We don’t sell houses. We let houses sell themselves.”
— The Visions First Realty Difference

What Our Clients Say

“I had more than a little trepidation at the prospect of finding a reputable realtor from 350 miles away. Visions First Realty was the only one who first asked specifics of what I was looking for in a property, rather than trying to impress me with his skills and abilities. Rick’s experience, efficiency and intuition accelerated the search and purchase process which, from first visit to closing, took 2 weeks and 1 day. He is well-connected with area businesses and helped me locate everything from restaurants to builders and surveyors. His honesty and integrity steered me away from potential pitfalls. There was never a doubt about trust or that the customer came first. Rick made my vision a reality.”

“Knowledgeable, incredibly friendly, helpful, open, transparent, and reliable through the whole process — demonstrating how deeply they care about client relationships. They listened and understood our needs from the very first conference call as out-of-state buyers purchasing land in Ashland, WI for our commercial/work-live construction project. Visions First Realty is our go-to — always available to answer our questions throughout the entire transaction.”
