He is well-connected with area businesses and treated me like a good neighbor. His honesty and integrity steered me away from potential pitfalls. Rick made my vision a reality.”

“Rick Gruebele was an awesome realtor to work with. He never tried to push any homes on us — he told us ‘he doesn’t sell houses, he lets houses sell themselves.’ Rick had no complaints driving to and from Washburn to Superior multiple times a week. Highly recommend especially for first time home owners.”
