Michael Ricks GRI, ABR,

With experience in Palm Springs, Cathedral City, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage and Desert Hot Springs, real estate as well as intimate local area knowledge, I work extensively to help buyers and sellers meet their real estate goals. As a listing agent in the valley, my extensive marketing plan gives a homeowner the opportunity to get the maximum value for his/her property. Nobody has a better marketing plan than me; it takes more to sell your home than just a yard sign. For buyers, I help negotiate the best possible deal and search until I find the perfect property. Nothing satisfies me more than seeing the smiles that come with a successful sale or the purchase of a lifetime.

Why Choose a REALTOR® With a GRI designation? Buying property is a complex and stressful task. In fact, it's often the biggest single investment you will make in your lifetime. At the same time, real estate transactions have become increasingly complicated. New technology, laws, procedures and the increasing sophistication of buyers and sellers require real estate practitioners to perform at an ever-increasing level of professionalism. So it's more important than ever that you work with an agent who has a keen understanding of the real estate business. The GRI program has helped the best and the brightest in the industry achieve that level of understanding. GRIs are: Nationally recognized as top performers in the real estate industry, professionally trained, knowledgeable, dedicated to bringing you quality service. You can count on receiving the knowledge and guidance you need to make your transaction go smoothly. In short, you can count on getting the best service available from a real estate professional.
