Rike did an amazing job on all aspects during our home buying process. He knowledge of the market was uncanny. He was patient and showed us great properties that were exactly what we were looking for. His process was super-efficient and clear. He was with us every step of the way and went above and beyond to help first time buyers through the process. He was always super responsive, was honest on his opinion and told us how it was, not what we wanted to hear. Overall, Rike and his team were a pleasure to work with.

Rike anticipated my needs and was always several steps ahead. He took the time to talk with me and to really get a sense of what I was looking for, and would include ideas that were a little outside of what I had initially described, which was more helpful than I realized. The entire team was fantastic and work seamlessly together.

This professional broker listed and sold two homes for me this past year (2022). I made the improvements suggested to obtain the maximum possible sales price and the end desired results were achieved. One of the two homes had to be sold three times during the fall of 2022, as the first two buyers either got cold feet and/or had issues with qualifying for a mortgage.

Rike and his band of merry realty professionals guided us through the then treacherous housing market to get us into our current home. Like most parents, we were chasing the schools for our kids and Rike directed us the best areas and listings that met our needs (ones we knew and ones he quickly recognized). During a particular bidding war, he calmly advised us to 'let it go' as the bids escalated and included exemptions from a home inspection. When we reset and started looking at underappreciated properties, he kept the same rigor in his process and delivered on his advice and service. While all the extras are nice (brunches, Halloween mini-golf, etc.), it's the personal touch and deep expertise that makes the experience working with him a true pleasure.

He spent time educating us on the building process, local regulations, as well as helping us think through all of our options. He is professional, thoughtful and great to work with.

Rike's expertise was critical during the process of purchasing our Denver home. In the current, crazy market, Rike calmly steered us through the chaos and helped us find and win the house we wanted. His deep experience and local knowledge were invaluable. When we asked for additional info, he researched and responded quickly. He asked meaningful questions during showings to further establish what we wanted. He provided necessary input as he knows the market far better than we do. He also provided much-needed humor and support as we searched for a home. His partner, Jonathan, and his support staff are a tight team that ensured nothing fell through the cracks. This is our third real estate transaction across 17 years with Rike (buyer's rep, listing agent, and builder's agent). He is the BEST! You won't regret choosing Rike and Jonathan's team.

I truly cannot say enough about the AMAZING job Jonathan and Rike (and their entire team) did in helping me sell my rental home!! It was a very awkward situation involving tenants, a property management company and me living out of state. However, having stellar agents like Jonathan and Rike represent me on all fronts was an experience I will not soon forget. They made the whole process effortless for me. I was always informed about where things were at and provided with solid options when decisions had to be made. All escrows have their challenges - but with Jonathan and Rike guiding me through every step of the process we closed on time, all my expectations were met and all parties involved were incredibly happy. My only regret is that I cannot give them a 10-star rating because a 5-star just doesn't seem sufficient for the endless hours they put in on my behalf.

After living in my home for 16 years, I decided to sell and move out of state. Having never worked directly with a real estate agent in selling a home, I was a bit nervous about what to expect and who to trust. Well let me tell you, Rike and Jonathan are amazing. I could not have hoped to work with a more networked, professional and attentive team. Rike was fully prepared to help me decide on a price based on area comps and my goals. They have buyers lined up. Rike and Jonathan have established a highly respected reputation in the Denver Metro Area, which means they can get things done quickly if need be. They were even able to refer me to a fantastic buyer's broker in the area to which I was relocating! Then, my house went under contract--above asking price--the first weekend on the market. Everything lined up perfectly to move out and into my new home. They provided advise on how to prepare my move, from packing to cleaning, to which I followed, and everything fell into place. Moving is hard work, and it's great to have a team that is right there to help navigate the ups and downs and negotiate unknowns. If you know what you want and you're ready to make a decision to sell, I strongly recommend Rike and Jonathan to help you through the process.

We dealt exclusively with Rike but I can safely assume that Jonathan and the rest of their staff are equally top-notch. We found Rike to be extremely professional, punctual, particularly knowledgeable about our local market, very responsive to any inquiries and a notably snappy dresser. Rike  responded promptly to an email or phone call. I don't think anyone has comparable breath and depth of knowledge about CCCC or the real estate. We would use Rike again without hesitation and would certainly recommend him and his company to any seller or buyer

We made the decision the next day to engage him on the listing and within two days he had professional pictures taken,  brochures and had the property listed! His knowledge of the Denver area and our sub-market was superior to other top tier brokers. He was available all days and at all times (early morning to late evening) during the closing to sale process. We would highly recommend him to anyone listing a luxury home or needing a broker to find your next home!

I first called Rike on a Saturday after driving back from Colorado Springs the long way home - after looking at a few areas and homes just out of curiosity.

Although he was out of town, he returned every call and every text almost immediately. I was completely impressed by him.

We weren't  really seriously looking for a new home - so I said don't bother unless it's very special. He knew of a coming listing, and his solid relationship with the owner made it possible for a showing the next week months before it went on the market. We loved it, it was perfect, we made an offer that day. Rike and Jonathan made a country dream home come true for us! They then sold our home in 10 days. Along the way Rike and Jonathan were always there to solve the problems that inevitably come up - with professional advice and sometimes needed humor. Rike, thanks!!!!

Would absolutely recommend them to anyone.

Rike and his team provided an honest market analysis that resulted in the sale of our home prior to the official listing! His team of professionals provided video and stills of our home, staging expertise to maximize the home's beauty, and skill in negotiating the many aspects of a home sale. Each  and every aspect of the sale process was managed easily and seamlessly. When we needed contractors to resolve inspection items - Rike not only provided sources, but coordinated and monitored the process. Having purchased and sold properties over the years we found Rike and his team to be the absolute best. Responsive, honest, and just great to work with

It's too bad that there are only five stars, for I would have happily given Jonathan least a 20. We worked with him for three months to find the perfect house, and although I'm sure it was frustrating for Jonathan when we turned down one house after another, he was unfailingly cheerful, patient  with us, and always ready to show us the next house we wanted to see. Truly, it doesn't get any better than that!.

If you are looking for the perfect realtor, this is where you find him. We couldn't have asked for anyone more wonderful.

We began working with Rike in 2012 when we became interested in purchasing a home in Denver. He and his partner, Jonathan, spent time showing us various neighborhoods and we eventually decided on the Cherry Creek Country Club. We contracted to build a home there and Rike wrote the offer to the  builder. He was instrumental in securing a very nice home with many upgrades for a terrific price. Throughout the building process he very patiently answered all of our questions and kindly guided us to our closing in Aug., 2013. We listed our home with Rike in May of 2015 when we decided to move from Denver. It was listed at the price he suggested and sold rather quickly. He negotiated a very fair price for us in a competitive market. He has always been very professional and knowledgeable and works very hard for his clients. He is an outstanding professional and we highly recommend him for all real estate needs.

We have utilized Rike four times (both selling and buying) in the last 12 years for our personal residences and rental properties. He is very knowledgeable about the Denver/South metro market and is very professional throughout the buying/selling process. A big plus is he understands the details of  home construction which can really help with budgeting estimates for remodeling, etc. and more importantly the inspection process. He has access to many real estate professionals that other agents do not have. I would not hesitate in recommending Rike to anyone that is either looking to sell or buy in Denver, Arapahoe, Douglas counties.

Rike Palese was incredible to work with during our process of finding the perfect empty nester home and selling our family home of 11 1/2 years. Rike's years of experience and knowledge of the market helped us in many ways. He helped us negotiate a very difficult purchase of a home that went into  foreclosure. In addition, he sold our family home quickly (within 5 weeks) which was due to his responsiveness and expertise of our area. It helped take the stress off us knowing we had Rike on our side. Rike is a true professional who knows how to get the job done. We would highly recommend Rike to anyone!

Rike Palese and his staff were superb. Rike came out to the house and evaluated not only the property but what needed to be done to the property in order to sell it. He went back to his office and provided a portfolio to me about my property, the valuation, and the valuations near me. As well,  he also presented that this was a partnership, and here is the road map of what his firm would do to market the house and what they expected from us. He made it very clear that in order for him to do his job, we had to our job. This included cleaning up and clearing out clutter and other distractions that might put a buyer off.

Rike Palese had a good sense of pricing and helped to ensure that we were able to choose the right offer based upon the buyer's qualifications to close the deal. He is straight forward and will tell you the truth. His staff is top drawer, and provides a great support backup to the client. They ensured that the property was ready to go, and helped me to find the right people to do the work

I would recommend Rike and his staff without reservation. They are professional, motivated, and they hustle. My house sold in less than 24 hours after it went on the market.
