Rich Hatch Realtor

SHORT VERSION: Rich is an incredibly honest and trustworthy guy! He has integrity and wants to help you find exactly what you are looking for in a house. He has helped us with some very difficult situations and has been friendly, professional, and helpful throughout the entire process. I would definitely recommend him as an agent! He helped us find our home and 2 rental properties.
FULL REVIEW:
Rich was recommended to us from a friend. We were living in California and moving to the area, so we were unable to see the houses ourselves. I did have family in the area so Rich accommodated working between myself and two of my sisters for property viewings. We had tried to put offers or look at probably 10 – 15 properties in a 2 – 3 week time and every one of them accepted an offer before we could either view the house or get an offer on the house.
Eventually I realized that there was too much time taking place from the time we saw a house we liked, he coordinated a viewing with my family, we talked to my family, we then spoke with Rich, and came up with an offer. I called my friend back and asked her, «How much do you trust Rich?» (She also knew him personally and she was a high school friend of mine). She responded, «Dana, I trust him with my kids.» She is picky about who she trusts with her kids, so I knew I could trust him.
A house on the market dropped it’s price and I asked Rich, «How soon can you get over there?» He told me he would make it there in the next 2 – 3 hours. He said it was a great house, took some pictures, talked on the phone as he walked through it, and I told him to put a full price offer on the house. This was without seeing the house or having any of my family see the house. The house has been great for our family and I am lucky that Rich was willing to put himself out there to help my wife and I purchase our first home together.
I have also purchased 2 rental properties through Rich in Cedar Rapids. He has been very patient and helpful since we are fairly new to the rental industry.
Overall I really can’t say enough about Rich. He has spoken up and told us things that some realtors might not in terms of trying to explain how things work and what might be the best strategy for getting an accepted offer or for working through finding a mutual agreement between us and the selling client. He has done this even if it may have not initially been what we suggested. At the end of the day he will do what you ask him to do, but he will also give his professional input, which not all realtors do. He really has your best interest at mind and truly enjoys what he does.
