RICK OJEDA Real Estate with Charles Rutenberg Realty

We relocated from California to Florida, and as a real estate appraiser, I don’t make recommendations lightly. Not knowing any agents locally, I asked my CA agent to interview a few for us. After one call with Rick, she strongly recommended him for his honesty, professionalism, and in-depth market knowledge. Because this was a long-distance move with two adult sons and an elderly mother, Rick went above and beyond—providing floor plans and carefully guiding us toward homes that truly fit our family’s needs. While he was willing to show us anything, his advice and cautions were always spot on. After one trip to tour neighborhoods, we confidently left our 19- and 20-year-old sons to view homes with Rick, trusting his judgment completely. We ultimately purchased our home sight unseen based on Rick’s expertise and our sons’ feedback—and it was absolutely the right decision. Now that I appraise in his market area and work alongside many agents, I can honestly say Rick is still at the top of my list. Don’t overlook him—you won’t regret it.

We first met Rick in 2021 at one of his listings. We ended up buying the home. The process was stress-free, and his communication was amazing. When we decided to list our house, we knew we wanted Rick's help. Within 3 days of signing, he had professional pictures taken, listed the house and had an open house scheduled. We sold within a week with multiple offers, and Rick took care of it all. He goes out of his way to make sure everything runs smoothly and takes the stress off the seller. On top of that, he’s genuinely a great person! If you want the best of the best, call Rick!
