Rick Gruebele business card — Visions First Realty

Rick owns and operates Visions First Realty in Northern Wisconsin. As a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) — a designation held by only the top 3% of REALTORS® nationwide — Rick brings proven expertise to every transaction, backed by his SRS, GRI, and ABR credentials on both the buyer and seller side.

But credentials only tell part of the story.

Rick’s lived in the Northland for years and knows Ashland, Bayfield, and Douglas Counties inside and out. He’s straightforward, listens to what you actually need, and supports his clients long after closing day. Need a contractor recommendation two years later? Rick’s still there to help.

Real estate in Northern Wisconsin is Rick’s business and his community. When you work with him, you get someone who’s invested in both — and the professional credentials to back it up.

From pricing strategy to negotiation, you get an advocate who knows exactly how to protect your interests and maximize your return.
