We could not have had a better home buying experience than we had working with Rick! His communication was great; as first time homebuyers we had tons of questions, and Rick was always available by text or phone to answer them. Rick doesn't sugar-coat things, he is direct and honest so that you have the information necessary to make the decisions that are right for you. Rick and his partner Nicole (also great!) were able to work with our schedule to show us all the homes we wanted to see on the weekends, since we lived out of town. They were good at pointing out pros and cons about different houses

Rick helped us buy our home in 2015 and impressed us with his knowledge of the local area and his approach to finding a home. So when it came time to sell, we knew exactly where to turn. He gave us great advice on selling our home and ended up closing the deal during pre-marketing at well over ask. We highly recommend Rick!

We have worked with Rick for years and have recommended him to family and friends. At this point, it would be difficult to work with any other realtor because we have come to rely on Rick's market knowledge and blunt honesty. The honesty part is huge, I don't want to waste time with someone telling me what they think I want to hear. I have noticed that despite Rick's knowledge of the market, he takes time to listen to us. He makes sure of what WE want instead of jumping right to what he recommends.

Rick Warner came through a family member's recommendations and I'm so glad we worked with him. Rick helped us buy a house in Novato and we learned a great deal on how to negotiate for the best offer. So happy to have him on our side.

Rick Warner and his team at Compass were highly knowledgeable and professional in completing the sale of our moms home. We live out of area and Rick kept us informed and connected to the process from beginning to end. He was a good listener and had an easy manner. Our family enthusiastically recommends Rick and his team.

Rick is a great realtor within Sonoma County and goes above and beyond for his clients. Above and beyond is always knowing your clients goals, and figuring out ways to reach and surpass them.
Rick is a strategic thinker, and doer. I highly recommend Rick
