"Last year Richard “Rick” Burke came to us when we had our house “FOR SALE BY OWNER.” He gave us several suggestions on how we should sell our house without really pressuring us to sign a contract with him even though he knew that the spring selling time was all most over when the real buyers are mostly out looking for homes. So as time went on, we decided that we really needed a Realtor that knew our area well and who had sold other properties in Cranbury and who lived and participated in our community. He used many different strategies/techniques to no avail. The housing market of 2008 was the worst in history, but Rick kept having Open Houses and kept track of all the people coming through and did follow-up emails and phone calls. We finally took our house off the market in December.
In March we decided to put our house back on the market and we wanted Rick back as our Realtor again because he knew the housing market well and already had the history of selling our house the year before. Within one month our house sold to great buyers.
We wish to thank Rick for all his efforts and expertise throughout this very difficult year and would highly recommend him as a top real estate agent to deal with in this area."

"Great Results, Personable, High Integrity
“We met Rick at an open house while casually house hunting. We immediately appreciated his honesty and straightforwardness. When we began seriously looking for a house, it was this that drew us to him. He spent countless hours with us, explaining the market in our area and showing us the pros and cons of the homes we were contemplating. We never felt pressured and we always felt comfortable and well-informed as we searched. He was very responsive and was patient with us as we decided on our new home. Once we did so, we were quickly under contract and it was time to list our own home for sale. Rick was there every step of the way, helping us to negotiate our way to a sale that closed on the same day as our purchase! We had a great experience with Rick and would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell property in the Princeton area.”"

""After looking for over one year, I can't thank you enough for helping us find my dream home in my favorite town.""

""Rick was great to work with. We interviewed many agents and Rick was by far the best. He didn't tell us what we wanted to hear, he told us the facts and what the real market trends were. Rick always had a good feel for the market and helped us sell our home quickly. We'd recommend him to anyone. Thanks Rick! ""
