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!

When you need to sell your home ~ Rick is your go-to guy! He was passionate about helping us sell our house! His attention to detail was amazing. Anything we needed, he was there to help! His knowledge of the market was spot on. He made a very stressful situation easier to navigate. Rick is easy to work with, knowledgeable and has great integrity! We are thankful for everything he did for us.

My husband and I were looking for a house to purchase. We were satisfied with our realtor and felt she was doing what we expected of her. We visited a house we had a lot of interest in. We quickly saw that the seller’s agent demonstrated much more detail and expertise for his client than we were getting. We closed the deal but said to each other, “if we ever move, HE is our realtor”. The realtor was Rick Ojeda. Fast forward to our decision to move closer to family and we contacted Rick. True to our previous experience with him, Rick guided us through what is normally a very frustrating, stressful time. He kept telling me to let him handle the stress. He made several suggestions to help make our home more appealing to others, he followed up on every inquiry, he offered help with our packing, he made certain our settlement was seamless. Rick was always only a phone call away. No question was considered petty or insignificant. Rick knows his trade inside and out. He is efficient and knows what works and doesn’t. Rick cares. Using Rick Ojeda would never be a mistake. If we ever had the opportunity to move back to Florida, Rick is our first phone call.

A friend recommended Rick to us and we were so fortunate to develop that professional relationship. He assisted us in selling our home (in six days) and purchasing our new home. He is a person of high integrity and very knowledgeable in all things real estate. We had a great experience with both deals.

Rick did a fantastic job helping me relocate to Florida. He listened to my requirements, and showed me homes met those. He was easy to work with, and made a number of great suggestions about where to live and why. Very knowledgeable and easy to work with.

In our search to find a FL home, we met many realtors. We’ll never forget meeting Rick and him telling us “my job isn’t necessarily to sell you a house today; my job is to educate you about the area, find out what your needs are and help you find your dream home – whenever the time is right for you”. Wow – he wasn’t kidding. Rick worked with us over a year showing homes both in person and (mostly) virtually. He would give us his honest opinion about, not only the condition of the home, but the neighborhood, schools, traffic patterns, etc. This was invaluable to us. We sold our home and were close to moving to FL still in search of a home when Rick found us one that checked all our boxes. We bought it sight unseen! He orchestrated a flawless closing and even went out of his way to keep an eye on the house until we arrived in FL. He truly found us our dream home in our desired neighborhood. We recommend Rick to everyone contemplating moving to FL. He is an excellent realtor but an even greater person. His integrity, perseverance and genuine kindness are traits you don’t get the privilege of experiencing every day. THANK YOU Rick😊

Working with Rick was a pleasure. He is professional, knowledgeable and helped secure a great deal on the sale of my home. I highly recommend choosing Rick as your Realtor!

Rick was referred to us and we could not have been happier with our experience. We are from out of state and Rick showed us many homes....he went to the home and facetimed us while we were in another state so we could see the details as if we were touring the homes in person. Once we found the perfect house he helped to negotiate an even better deal than I thought was possible. We cannot recommend Rick enough.

Rick is more than just a professional, knowledgeable agent to work with he's also a genuinely good person. Always prompt and supportive, he went the extra mile to ensure our transaction was as smooth as possible. Many thanks and best wishes for your continued success!
