"Rich is a real professional with lots of valuable local knowledge and experience. His expertise was key to the successful sale of a dated home needing renovation in less than three months from first listing to final closing.
He's be my first recommendation to friends wanting to sell a home.
The Hendersonville office is a well appointed space. A friendly environment to visit.
Overall, I am very pleased"

"Rich was very patient and had an excellent approach to guiding us to a reasonable decision. He did not force his opinion on us, but let us have time to digest the guidance that he was giving us. It is critical to have an agent, as was Rich, to discuss pros and cons of ideas and be willing to listen and to be patient with responses. Rich always kept us posted promptly about showings and the results of showings. We were all surprised about how much the road noise affected the price, and Rich was very open about his surprise with this, too. Rich provided excellent guidance and advice through the entire process. Our thanks go our to Rich for a successful sales conclusion."

"I had dealt with Rich before. I like him and think he does a very good job.
The sale of my property was a lengthy one and Rich did everything he could to sell it and get it to closing. As I said above in the survey, I would certainly use Rich again as a realtor and would definitely recommend him to anyone."

"Rich Cooke is the man for the job if you want a caring and compassionate agent handling the purchase or selling of property.
My situation was a little unique and Rich was always there to help and guide me thru the sale not only as my agent but he has treated my family like a friend thru the whole process.
If your out there trying to find a agent who really cares and has your best interest at heart give Rich a try you will be glad you did!"

"Riche went above and beyond what we expected him to do. He coordinated our schedule with numerous showings each time we visited. He was very knowledgeable of the areas of town we were interested in and understood our needs. He previewed houses for us so that we weren’t wasting time seeing homes that did not meet our needs. My broker, in Savannah, Ga, actually called several brokers and interviewed them and selected who she thought would be the right person. Rich met our criteria 100%. We couldn’t be more pleased with him. We would highly recommend him!
Rich walked us through every aspect of the sale. He explained the contract, set up the inspections, negotiated the sale, and arranged a local attorney for the closing. We have never gone through a purchase of a home that was so easy. Rich handled everything and made this a very pleasant experience.
We can’t say enough good things about Rich! He is the best realtor that we have ever worked with. Each of the above characteristics describe him perfectly.
Very accommodating and very professional.
We couldn’t be any happier with our experience. Rich has spoiled us!"

I know Rich from another purchase and after dealing with him again can say in all honesty that there are realtors and then there is Rich Cooke.
I would highly recommend that anyone looking to buy or sell a home contact Rich Cooke.
We were not sorry and I know they will not be either.
Sincerely,

"Rich Cook was excellent in assisting me with many offers and troublesome prospective buyers with 3 closings falling through within 7-10 days of closing. Numerous issues needed to be resolved and Rich helped with everything and provided me w/excellent advice and put me in touch with the right people to get things resolved in a timely matter when I could do so. He put up with more than his fair share of troubles and issues from buyers as well as the final buyer's attorney who kept asking for more and more to be done. Rich went out of his way to meet me at different locations in the middle of my work day when papers needed to be signed. I couldn't have asked for a better realtor than Rich and I would highly recommend him."

We had to do everything long distance and Rich was easily accessible and always quickly responsive to texts and emails. He went well beyond what is expected of an agent.

"Rich Cooke did an excellent job marketing and selling our mother's condo. He was very realistic about setting the asking price and his suggestions proved to help us sell this property. This sale was somewhat difficult for us emotionally and Rich was always very kind in his communications with us.
Rich was always aware of the market and always passed his information and knowledge to us. As out-of-town owners we were always sure that Rich was doing everything he could to sell our property. His attitude and reassurance assisted us greatly.
Rich Cooke is a superb agent and we would recommend him to anyone interested in buying or selling in the area. He always goes the extra mile for his clients. Even though we had some obstacles to overcome with our condo e.g. significant repairs, Rich remained realistic and optimistic throughout the process.
We are very appreciative of all the work Rich Cooke put into marketing and selling our condo and would definitely use his services again!"

"We met Rich two years ago when he was an agent with Keller Williams. In the past two plus years he has answered hundreds of inquiries as well as patiently shown us house after house until "the one" popped up. He is very knowledgeable, very thorough, infinitely patient and unfailingly pleasant and very polite. On the occasions when my grandchildren were with me as we looked at houses Rich won them over and is now referred to as "Uncle Rich". I feel that Rich has become a friend and we look forward to continuing our association with him now that we are going to be "neighbors". In my opinion, Rich performed above and beyond the call of duty in every area of interaction with him. I feel that not only did he make the real estate transaction as easy as it could possibly be, he will make the actual process of our relocation equally smooth. I give him the highest rating possible - both as an agent and a human. He is a gem."

"Rich was wonderful to work with and we knew he always had our best interests in mind. He helped us deal with any problems that arose and had good suggestions as to how to solve them. Even though he was dealing with the folks who were buying the house as well as us, he was always fair and managed to come up with a plan after the inspection that satisfied us and the buyers. But of course the most important thing is that he sold the house in three weeks, and we are grateful for that!
Rich was top-notch in everything he did and we will recommend him to others. We had not sold a house for 45 years and he walked us through the process in a caring, patient, knowledgeable way. We knew we could count on him to be truthful and helpful, so we were comfortable following his advice."

"Rich Cooke has both sold a property for us and helped my husband and I buy two additional properties in the last year. Rich is truly 'one-stop' shopping...he has professional resources for inspections and any other work that needs to be completed and he's always available! I can send him an email and within a few minutes (if not sooner), he's gotten back to me with the answer to my question. He's on stop of the timeline and reminds you when you need to take the next step (and what the next step is). You and Rich are not stumbling over each other duplicating tasks as you decide with him, up front, who's responsible for what action.
Rich is extremely knowledgeable about the area and really listens to your requirements. I began my search for our latest property on April 15 and we closed on the new property May 30.
I would, without hesitation, recommend Rich to anyone buying or selling property in Henderson County. You won't be disappointed!"

"Rich - You made selling my mothers home effortless. I didn't know how I was going to be able to be in two places at one time, living and working in Portland Maine while moms house was located in Hendersonville. Rich kept me posted at every turn. From having the house cleaned and readied for showings to the final signature on the sale all under one month period of time. I didn't have to leave Maine, Rich took care of everything. He is a very special agent, one who gets the job done."
