What Clients Say About
Working with Rico
I’ve worked with Riccardo on a couple of real estate deals, and I can’t recommend him highly enough. His knowledge of construction, home efficiency, and overall market research is top-tier. He really took the time to help me understand every aspect of the process, always going the extra mile.
I recently worked with Riccardo to sell my brother’s property in Hedley, managing it remotely from Alberta. Riccardo made the entire process smooth and stress-free. His background in construction, strong communication skills, and professional network helped navigate every detail with ease.
Rico did an exceptional job walking me through buying my first home. He was endlessly patient with my barrage of questions and more than willing to accommodate my schedule. If you want an experienced realtor who will be honest, transparent, and informative on every step of your journey, you can do no better.
Rico Manazza did an amazing job of selling my house in Hedley. Really tough market for sure but he worked hard at it including many open houses. Thanks for your dedication Rico!
Working with Riccardo was such a positive experience! He negotiated an excellent deal for me, saving $20,000 off the asking price. His deep knowledge of the local market and dedication to his clients is truly impressive.
