Rike Palese

ZillowVERIFIED

Selling the home was a long 2 year process, but Rike was always available and candidly discussed issues, concerns and possibilities. He extensively advertised the property and provided sound advice for house showings. He was helpful with negotiations, but never pushy or demanding. Rike was very generous, kind and thoughtful. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area. Rike is a genuinely nice person and we consider him our friend. Bill & Terri

Rike did an amazing job on all aspects during our home buying process. He knowledge of the market was uncanny. He was patient and showed us great properties that were exactly what we were looking for. His process was super-efficient and clear. He was with us every step of the way and went above and beyond to help first time buyers through the process. He was always super responsive, was honest on his opinion and told us how it was, not what we wanted to hear. Overall, Rike and his team were a pleasure to work with.

Rike anticipated my needs and was always several steps ahead. He took the time to talk with me and to really get a sense of what I was looking for, and would include ideas that were a little outside of what I had initially described, which was more helpful than I realized. The entire team was fantastic and work seamlessly together.

This professional broker listed and sold two homes for me this past year (2022). I made the improvements suggested to obtain the maximum possible sales price and the end desired results were achieved. One of the two homes had to be sold three times during the fall of 2022, as the first two buyers either got cold feet and/or had issues with qualifying for a mortgage.

Rike and his band of merry realty professionals guided us through the then treacherous housing market to get us into our current home. Like most parents, we were chasing the schools for our kids and Rike directed us the best areas and listings that met our needs (ones we knew and ones he quickly recognized). During a particular bidding war, he calmly advised us to 'let it go' as the bids escalated and included exemptions from a home inspection. When we reset and started looking at underappreciated properties, he kept the same rigor in his process and delivered on his advice and service. While all the extras are nice (brunches, Halloween mini-golf, etc.), it's the personal touch and deep expertise that makes the experience working with him a true pleasure.

Rike is extremely knowledgeable and the most responsive realtor I've worked with. He helped us sell and buy during an extremely competitive time. We got top dollar for our sale and helped us negotiate a good price for our purchase. He spent time educating us on the building process, local regulations, as well as helping us think through all of our options. He is professional, thoughtful and great to work with.

I would highly recommend Rike Palese. His attention to detail made my home buying experience streamlined and efficient. He gained my confidence early on. He's a true professional. I couldn't have been happier with him and I don't think I could have done better. I'm confident to recommend Rike to anyone who needs a real estate agent.

Rike's expertise was critical during the process of purchasing our Denver home. In the current, crazy market, Rike calmly steered us through the chaos and helped us find and win the house we wanted. His deep experience and local knowledge were invaluable. When we asked for additional info, he researched and responded quickly. He asked meaningful questions during showings to further establish what we wanted. He provided necessary input as he knows the market far better than we do. He also provided much-needed humor and support as we searched for a home. His partner, Jonathan, and his support staff are a tight team that ensured nothing fell through the cracks. This is our third real estate transaction across 17 years with Rike (buyer's rep, listing agent, and builder's agent). He is the BEST! You won't regret choosing Rike and Jonathan's team.

I truly cannot say enough about the AMAZING job Jonathan and Rike (and their entire team) did in helping me sell my rental home!! It was a very awkward situation involving tenants, a property management company and me living out of state. However, having stellar agents like Jonathan and Rike represent me on all fronts was an experience I will not soon forget. They made the whole process effortless for me. I was always informed about where things were at and provided with solid options when decisions had to be made. All escrows have their challenges - but with Jonathan and Rike guiding me through every step of the process we closed on time, all my expectations were met and all parties involved were incredibly happy. My only regret is that I cannot give them a 10-star rating because a 5-star just doesn't seem sufficient for the endless hours they put in on my behalf.
