Richard Realty Groups

Brian Richard is a fantastic Realtor and is highly recommended. His attention to detail and his ability to address all our questions promptly left us feeling confident, educated, and protected through the whole process! He even worked it out so we could sell our house and buy a new house on the same day! Absolute Perfection! Jim and Catherine McNulty

Our initial contact with Melinda Murray was a phone consultation while she was on vacation! Without hesitation, she answered our questions about a property she had recently sold, with honesty and forthrightness, even though she was officially «off the clock»!
This was impressive and spoke of her professional dedication. Plus she wasn’t pitching herself to be our agent (which so many do immediately) and was genuinely sharing information that was helpful about the condo and the complex. This was so refreshing and authentic that we decided to employ her as our buyer’s agent! Her outgoing and friendly demeanor certainly impressed us also! So far our relationship has been the best we’ve ever had with a realtor. One of her outstanding traits is her timely responsiveness which has made us feel like a top priority. It’s our opinion that communication, open and honest, is one of the most important traits in this business. Melinda is the most responsive realtor we have ever dealt with! Plus, her advice has been very straight forward and market savvy. We are fortunate to have found such a competent and intelligent guide in this journey for a new home in San Diego.

Brian must own this realty business. Either that or he’s the owner’s relative because that’s the only way he could possibly keep his job. How rude! I simply called to inquire about a home for sale in the area. Just like another review I read, all he could do is talk over me. He just kept asking if I was an agent and if I had an agent and what my name is. Over and over and over again even though I had answered him several times.
The fact of the matter is that the house in question has been foreclosed. Brian and company will not make much money on it, hence why he has little interest in selling it. Also someone (I was told the past owner of the house or was it someone who knew the house was empty/​foreclosed — a banker? a realtor?) has ransacked the house and taken anything of any value including the antique front gate. And now a bunch of people who may or may not have jobs have moved in. They have a poor pit bull that they let run wild and crosses Rosecrans Street and will eventually get killed by a car. I sure hope they are paying rent. Someone told me they were squatters.
Maybe all of the sleazy stuff mentioned above is why Brian didn’t want to answer my questions. I wonder, did Richard Realty rent to these people? Or does Richard Realty even know that they are living there? Or does Richard Realty even care? My money is on the last.
Minimally Richard Realty should be able to handle taking calls and answering questions. Since they cannot even handle that I find it hard to believe they would be able to handle anything more. There are too many good agents in San Diego to put your money on these guys.
DON’T DO IT !!

Tom helped my husband and I purchase our dream home. Within our budget! I have worked with several Realtors before meeting Tom, he is by far the best. He genuinely cares about his client’s satisfaction, working hard to find homes that meet specific criteria. Tom also has a great team that assisted with a quick and completely hassle free funding of our home. This was a short sale, so smooth transactions are pretty unusual. Overall, Tom knows North County real estate through and through, he is ethical, professional, and just a really great guy. I highly recommend him!

The short story: Tom Braithwaite is incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and knows how to help people find the house of their dreams. If you want to read more, then here you go. I referred one of my best friends to Tom because he was having a hard time finding a house that fit his budget and his needs on his own. From the time that I introduced them to the time that I received news my friend had closed on his home was two months. My friend is not an easy person to please, so I know Tom had his hands full throughout the process. I had never seen my friend so happy, nor him so grateful to Tom and myself for recommending him. After this performance, I have recommended Tom to another friend of mine who is looking to purchase a home. If you are looking for a home in the North County area, give Tom at Richard Realty group a call.
