We chose Rick Bauer because he is our neighbor and we have heard many great things about him. He didn't disappoint us at all. He is a great realtor. Many years experience.
We look forward to working with him when we are ready to list our previous home.

Karolyn Zbornik, a seller from Waterloo, IA
Rick has been the FAMILY RELATOR for over 30 years!!!! We all love him because goes above and beyond just selling a house. He offers his help in numerous ways....to many to mention here. In addition, to some of us it's important that he's a Christion.

Kimberly Wright, a seller from Waterloo, IA
Rick Bauer sold my mom's house in 3 wwwka! I flew in from CA, spent 2 days in Waterloo. The house was listed before I left with 38 interested viewers. I got a total of 6 good offers and was happy that the buyer selected was not an investor. Rick was professional, knowledgeable, trusrworthy and kind. Most importantly, he is a man of integrity! I highly recommend him!

Telling the real situation and market price, and availability and professionalism, not manipulating

Richard C, a seller from Cedar Falls, IA
Don't try to sell your house by yourself. There is too much to keep track of and everything needs to be done in a timely manner. Rick and his team are professionals that know how to make the process work smoothly. I can't tell you how impressed I am with Rick and his team! You will be doing yourself a huge favor if you hire Rick to help you buy it sell!

Anonymous, a buyer from Elk Run Heights, IA
We purchased our home while living 3 states away. This increased the stress level. Rick was amazing, he was available with answers and help every step of the way. We felt like we were his only clients!

Bill Wade, a seller from Cedar Falls, IA
How does one choose a person to help with the sale or purchase of a home? I really didn't know where to even begin. It can be a daunting prospect choosing a realtor, and I was daunted. How do you find someone who is worthy of your trust?

Last summer, when it came time for my stepfather to sell his home, we had two options: 1., throw a dart at the list of local agents, or 2., ask for referrals from friends. We tried option #1 and found a couple of agents that said they would help us. But though we interviewed several, we just couldn't find anyone that we felt we could trust. Everyone seemed to be mostly concerned with getting us to sign on the line that was dotted. After a couple of false starts, we went with option #2, and luckily a friend pointed us to Rick. "You can't go wrong with Rick," my friend said.

My friend was right. Not only does Rick exude confidence, backed up by his decades of experience...he is also a good and kind soul. He has a relaxed manner which is helpful in reducing any stress that can accompany such a large and impactful transaction. As calming as his manner is, Rick is also Johnny on the Spot. He was always available and immediately responded to my many phone calls and texts. Most every time time I called, he had already anticipated my needs. He treated us as if we were his only client (which we were certainly not!).

Our sale went off without a hitch. All in all, the experience was like working with a trusted friend (if only all my friends had the depth of knowledge that Rick has). I thoroughly and whole-heartedly recommend him.

You can't go wrong with Rick Bauer.

Benjamin Wagner, a seller from Waterloo, IA
Rick was helpful, kind, and informative for the selling process. I would recommend him to anyone!

Austin Roys, a seller from Waterloo, IA
Rick and his team did a fantastic job, he was transparent and honest and made the entire process of selling my house a breeze. I had a few meetings with other realtors and didnt feel like they had my best interest as a priority, spoke with Rick and he made me feel at ease and worked with me every step of the way, answering any questions I had and truly taking all of the stress out of my hands.

Jimmy Nienkark, a seller from Waterloo, IA
Rick did a excellent job selling our house




Jamie S, a buyer from Traer, IA
So many to chose from that it can be quite daunting. Even combing through reviews is exhausting because everyone has their own perspective. You never know who is stretching the truth or always see/voice the bad. But, we heard of Rick through family and the reviews backed up what we personally heard.

Rick had double the work with my husband being in town and me and the rest of the family in another state. He handled it effortlessly. I don't easily trust anyone when Im making purchases and this is the biggest purchase of our lives. Rick was there every step of the way to guide us in making our long time dream come true. It was as if he was along time family member doing us a favor and helping us out.

We are so grateful he worked with us. Hes down to earth, honest and never pushy. His experience and knowledge in the real estate world is invaluable. Dont pass him by and use another agent.

NEVER ANY THOUGHT OF HAVING ANY ONE ELSE HE IS THE BEST NICE GUY!

Eric Robinson (Waterloo, Iowa), a seller from Waterloo, IA
Rick Bauer and his RE/MAX team did an excellent job getting professional pictures and producing high quality listing online and in print. This attracted several potential buyers during the first two weeks, and the house sold in that time for great amount. They also helped me to negotiate with the buyer so that the obstacles to purchase could be taken care of without reducing the return we desired on the house. I think this was good for the buyer and I know it was good for my family.

NaeNae, a seller from Waterloo, IA

I bought my home on Wakonda Drive in Waterloo thru Rick Bauer in 2002 and he was the first guy I called when I was selling it 17 years later. Rick is a terrific man, honest and a total pro.

Rick is a solid professional who knows his market and colleagues exceptionally well. Rick worked within the boundaries of our schedules and arranged for us to tour the homes we were interested in seeing on short notice. He picked a robust group of houses for us to tour based highly on our wants and needs. His team was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, as well. We will be listing our prior home with Rick soon, and are confident in his abilities to market and promote it. Rick is a stand-up guy who cares about his clients' priorities and offers sage advice for buying and selling their homes.
