Dick helped us to purchase a home in the Palm Springs area.  He quickly helped us select an area and listened to our architecture preferences so that the houses we were looking at on the internet were all of interest. He evaluated the houses we found on the internet to eliminate those that did not match our criteria. He also added more houses to our search that we were not able to locate. His knowledge or the area and the market helped narrow our search areas. This exhaustive on-line search allowed us to look at only houses we liked so we found the right house quickly. His guidance through the offer process helped us get a great deal at significantly below list price.

We highly recommend Dick to anyone looking for a property in the Coachella Valley.

Dick Sakowicz is very knowledgeable about the local real estate market. He very quickly understood what we were looking for and narrowed the search to fit our needs. We were new to Palm Springs and we feel we were lucky to work with Dick.

He has a very strong sense of professionalism. We feel that he gave us 100 percent of his attention and was dedicated to the process in the short amount of time we had available to look for properties. He was very responsive to our questions throughout the search process and also during escrow.

Additionally, he has a great sense of humor and was always pleasant to deal with. Our home buying experience couldn’t have been smoother, and we would highly recommend him.

Dick Sakowicz is refreshingly unique in the real estate profession. I know this because I have worked closely with realtors for thirty years as an architect. He understands the importance of listening to a client. He doesn’t sell, he provides information and opportunity based on one’s needs. He cares.

I thoroughly enjoyed the time I spent “house hunting” with Dick. His personable approach and dedication as a realtor, helped make that transition time much easier. I recommend Dick as a great realtor to work with in the Palm Spring area. I also recommend feeding him chocolate covered espresso beans.

My experience with Dick was a great success. He knew the market and had my condo sold within 4 months; I went through many other realtors, I should have started with best first (Remax). Dick kept me informed either through emails or phone calls. The overall experience was very pleasant and I would definitely use his services again.

We had to do our house-hunting remotely from the Bay Area. We met with Dick in January for a first round of exploration. We looked at a variety of properties and enjoyed getting to know Dick and the market in Palm Springs. When we came back in March, ready to buy, Dick had lined up about 10 places for us to look at. What impressed us most was that all of them were a fit with 100% of the features that were most important to us and 80% to 100% of our “nice to have” features. We realized that, in January, while we had been browsing properties and enjoying Dick’s humor, Dick had been really listening. It was almost as if he knew what we were looking for better than we did. During the bidding and sale process, Dick was attentive and helpful – keeping us informed by phone or email of developments. We were pleased with our experience with Dick from every aspect. We have already recommended Dick to several friends and would heartily recommend Dick Sakowicz to anyone we know looking for a home in the Palm Springs area.

Dick did a great job for us. We put our home on the market and moved back to the Midwest almost immediately. Dick attended to the many details of keeping our house market ready. At one point he made some suggestions to us on some repairs. Dick made all the arrangements to hire the necessary contractors and insured the work was done on a timely and professional basis. Within a few months of making the suggested changes Dick sold the house for us.

We received very complete weekly email status reports on the sales activity on our house and also for our Vista Las Palmas neighborhood. When appropriate, Dick contacted us by phone. When we had questions or concerns, Dick was always readily available to take our call. Dick handled the entire sale process so thoroughly and professionally that we did not have to travel back to Palm Springs.

We highly recommend Dick Sakowicz to handle your real estate needs.

I can easily say that working with Dick was the best real estate experience I have ever had, even though I have bought and sold over a dozen homes in my lifetime!

I “met” Dick through his website when I began planning to move away from San Diego. Because I was thinking about relocating to a completely unfamiliar area, I had many questions and needed a lot of advice! I wasn’t quite sure how a realtor could work well with me from miles away, but Dick’s responsiveness and dedication immediately inspired my confidence in him.

And I was never disappointed! Dick listened extremely well to my needs, asked all the important questions so I could focus on the right location for me in the Valley, offered insightful perspective on market conditions, and developed a solid negotiating strategy that literally put $100,000 back in my pocket – more than I would have ever expected.

Above all, Dick worked tirelessly for me. For several months, Dick stayed in touch and sent me frequent e-mail updates with new listings. When I felt ready to purchase and came over from San Diego for a week, Dick’s patience and advice were invaluable in guiding me to the best decision possible.

I’d be forgetting something, though, if I didn’t add that working with Dick was just plain fun! His positive focus and great sense of humor took the stress out of making one of life’s most significant decisions.

Thanks to Dick, I could not be happier in my new home, and I could not recommend him more highly!

Overall, we were extremely impressed with the level of service we received from Dick. All of our expectations were exceeded by Dick’s knowledge of the marketplace and his attention to detail. Dick was honest and forthright about the state of the market and listened carefully to our expressed needs and desires. As a result, the search was efficient and effective, ultimately resulting in the purchase of a home that suited us perfectly. In the end, we got a great home for the right price. In the past, we have had many negative experiences with agents whose approach was to simply show everything on the market, without listening to what we wanted. Dick listened and delivered.
We found Dick through his ad in a local real estate publication. The ad was beautifully done and attracted us immediately to his business. The ad was for an Alexander home, and perfectly illustrated the attractiveness of the Palm Springs life style. The ad provided an important glimpse into the manner in which Dick markets his business and provided insight for us into his competence and business acumen.
Once on the job, Dick worked tirelessly on our behalf. Understanding that we were from out of the area, he was careful to first provide a history of the community and introduced us to the uniqueness that is Palm Springs architecture. His spending the time to give us this context was an effective way to determine our interest in the local real estate market.
Having helped us select the property that we were to purchase, Dick set out to negotiate a fair offer on our behalf. He precisely calculated what would become the final price, and clearly understood our desire to not exceed that price. He expertly negotiated with the seller’s agent to get the terms and conditions that we requested. We were extremely satisfied with result and the process.
We would not hesitate to recommend Dick as an agent. Overall, our experience was enjoyable and rewarding. Dick made that happen for us and we will feel indebted to him for many years for having done so.

We are the ones that need/want to say thanks to Dick; in our opinion, he was “heaven sent”; how lucky can one be to find someone with his class and knowledge just by chance? Once again we wanted to thank him for his commitment to find us the house that would closely reflect our preferences in community & lifestyle, as well as be architecturally appealing. We specifically recall two occasions where his guidance saved us from making a big mistake….

His knowledge of the area and the fact that he gave us so much of his time without once pushing for something that we later would not want, or for that matter, for more than our needs for a second home could justify.

We are now enjoying every single minute in our new home; we love everything about it, and mostly the fact that we have started new friendships beginning with Dick and his wife that will give us lots of joy through the years to come. Well, of course they’ll get to see our new home. As a matter of fact, Dick and his wife will be the first dinner guests when we get our act together.

Dick, once again, thanks a million. You are a true professional, and you delivered on all counts. You are the best! Yes, let’s stay in touch.
