Rick & Marcia Wanamaker

I never met Marcia so can only comment in regard to Rick. He is unequivocally the best Realtor I have known. As a retired Broker ( another state) I wish I had had the opportunity to work with this pro! We made the right choice in listing our home with Rick.

Experienced and honest; totally stand-up realtor. I have had the pleasure of using the Wanamaker's 3 times in 30+ years and it has always been an excellent experience. We sold a home and a townhome in the past 18 months with Rick at the helm, no regrets.

I had canceled my real estate listing and was anxious to get my townhouse back on the market. I did a google search on aEURoetop real estate agent in WaukeeaEUR? and Ricks name came up. Selling my property was going to be a challenge because there are five new builds next to my two year old townhouse and I needed an expert. Listing with Rick just felt right and turned out to be a very good choice. His web pictures were amazing and his expertise and guidance played an enormous role in the sale of my townhouse. Rick is a true professional and a genuinely nice guy. I highly recommend Rick and Marcia!

I worked with Rick Wanamaker. The experience was very positive. The home I had to sell was large which made it a little more difficult. Rick brought more showings and potential buyers then I could have imagined. It was sold within a few months. He made sure I did not get emotional about certain aspects but rather stayed focused on the big picture. He was very calming and kept things on track. He knows how to hold a deal together and work smoothly with other realtors. He knows which companies are bringing in executives and potential buyers. He has an ear to all that is going on in the area. Rick has so much experience and knowledge of this industry. I think a lot of agents do real estate on the side or as a hobby of sorts. Not Rick and Marsha. Real estate has always been there total focus which is what makes them highly sought after and excellent at what they do. I would use like them again and recommend them to anyone regardless of the price point of there home. They take each client and their needs very seriously. DeLynn Boal

We had our home on the market for 6 months by a different real estate firm with no success. We had already moved out of Iowa.Upon expiration of our contract with previous firm, our friend recommended Rick and Marcia Wanamaker team. I spoke with Rick on phone and Rick recommended few selling strategies for our house. We Followed his lead and in 2 weeks our house was sold. I found Rick to be an honest, very knowledgeable and helpful person. He handled our sale with care as it was his own house. Whole process went very smoothly and stress free due to his diligence. Thank You Rick and Marcia team for your help with us being out of state. I am delighted to highly recommend Rick and Marcia wanamker team.Experience and Credibility matters!

Our family relocated to Iowa from California and Rick was referred to us. In our first phone call, Rick explained that he is always working and that we could call at any time. He listened to what we wanted and set up viewings as soon as we arrived in Iowa. He worked tirelessly showing us as many homes as we wanted. He is also a wealth of knowledge. He shared fun and useful information that ranged from traffic patterns to the vegetation and wildlife. Rick spotted the home before we saw it listed anywhere. He advised that we look at it quickly because he said it will go fast. Sure enough there were three bids for the full asking price on the first day. He then expertly guided us through the negotiation to our winning offer.
