We couldnt be happier. Brent was able to position our house for a quick sale and deftly led us through negotiations with the buyer. Even more surprising was what he was able to do for us on the buy side. In the past we had bought houses (new construction) without an agent, as a lawyer and a business executive we figured we had it covered. Brent was able to identify opportunities to negotiate a better price and he alerted us to several opportunities and potential issues throughout the build and closing process. We had no idea what we were missing and would enthusiastically hire him again.

Working with Brent was wonderful!! When I called, he always tried to set up a showing as soon as possible. When we walked into houses, he immediately started pointing out cracks and other items that we needed to take into account. When we put in contracts on several different houses, he was helpful and wise. When we got in a bidding war, he held our hand and advised us. (We got the house!) He set us up with an inspector and helped us ask for money to fix certain items. From day one, his service was outstanding!

I highly recommend Brent Rice when searching for your next home! I was a first time home buyer and knew very little about the home buying process and market trends at the time. I decided to choose Brent because he seemed extremely knowledgeable of the real estate market. His knowledge came through during our initial walk throughs; he would point out items to look for beyond aesthetics, items related to safety, structural integrity, etc., that many young, first time home buyers may not be aware of. Also of importance, I decided to choose Brent because after our first meeting I got the sense that he would find the best house for me, rather than sugar coat every house in order to make a quick sale. He was definitely very patient with me. I was a picky and nervous client, and also a skeptical client. It took me a while to understand the market trends and accept the market trends, but he was very patient through it all. I searched for months and asked several questions along the way. He was available via text or phone call at all hours and was willing to show me house after house. He was right on target with what it would take to win my house, and did a great job setting up a robust offer and negotiating on my behalf. Now, I’m happily settled into my new home!

JoAnn and Brent Rice are simply amazing! I have never sold a home before and they were there every step of the way to explain my options and were quick to respond when I had questions and concerns. They went above and beyond to get me top dollar! I could not have found a better duo! Thank you both for everything you have done and for sure will use you in the future!

Brent Rice has been our agent for years and has always provided the best service. At times though we make regretful decisions as we did and went to another agent for our most recent house purchase. We learned our lesson the hard way and went right back to Brent in less than a week. As always, he and his lovely wife JoAnn were so very gracious and provided the same excellent service in helping us find the right home at the right price. Brent also helped negotiate a generous amount with the sellers for the repairs in the house which was way more than what we hoped for and a really good deal on the home warranty contract. Moral of the story - when you know the best, leave behind the rest!!

Brent and JoAnn Rice are some of the most dedicated, and genuine people I have ever had the pleasure to partner with. Brent represented me through the purchasing and selling process. His knowledge of real estate is second to none and shows his long career in the industry.Any rating system falls flat showing the level at which this team performs to get you results. I cannot express enough how amazing my experience has been.I consulted with Brent during every step of the process. He is mindful to let you make the decision but will give his professional opinion to help guide you. This opinion is informed by decades of experience. Every single decision has worked out better than I hoped.Brent is a master negotiator. The process was simple and hassle free, and still landed us the best outcome from both deals. This skill means you will not be leaving money on the table.JoAnn is an absolute sweetheart and wonderful to work with. She staged our property turning it from a very plain house, to a very cozy home.Brent and JoAnn treat every client equally, with the utmost respect and kindness. This goes a long way and shows in every interaction.This is THE team to work with.

When I contacted Brent Rice to help me find a rental home I was at the end of my rope. I had tried for several months to find a house on my own and realized that I couldn’t do it on my own. I needed someone who knows the ins and outs of this business. I called Brent saying, “help! I have one week to find a home and move! Can you help me?” A house I had been approved for and waiting on for over 60 days did not pan out and I was at the end of my notice period where I was. Brent said, “I’ll send you a list of the docs we need to get this done, get them to me asap.” Brent the same day got me a list of houses (based on my preferences) to choose from. Brent took all my documents and set them up so electronically so that he could submit them on the spot if we found something we wanted. He dropped everything to spend the next day day with me to view the 8 or 9 houses I had selected to go see, after which he helped me get two applications sent for the ones I thought were the best for us. He got us approved for both in a day and we got to choose the best one. We moved by our deadline. Everything went as smooth as silk, if there were any hitches…I wasn’t aware of them (smiling). Brent is a knowledgeable realtor and dedicated to getting the deal done with seemingly no hitches. I was so relieved! Thank you Brent Rice!

Brent was absolutely wonderful with our home search and everything we could have asked for as first time homeowners in Texas. I initially contacted him to negotiate the house we were renting as the owner decided to sell the house. During the process there were some delays and we started looking for alternatives - another rental place, or a houses to purchase in the same school district as I don’t want to change the school district for my high schooler. We didn’t have lot of time as the owner of our rental place gave us the notice to vacate the place. He listened to our needs and our concerns and kept our expectations realistic. He made sure everything went as smooth as possible for us.Brent helped us throughout the process. He showed us both the rental properties and the houses for sell. He gave us frank advice through the process with pros and cons, but ultimately left the decision on us. He has a good knowledge on the real estate market here in Dallas suburbs. He helped us throughout the negotiation process. Would definitely recommend Brent to all my family and friends! Thank you Brent!

Being new to the area, Brent did an unparalleled job in assisting my family and I with the home buying and shopping process. Brent went above and beyond in literally every way and he and his team made the process extremely easy. I will use only Brent to buy and sell in Texas moving forward...

Brent Rice is the BEST Realtor in this area. Hard working, knowledgeable, trustworthy, and attentive. We received multiple offers in a few weeks and managed to close the house in less than a month. We did not have much time to waste and he made it happen. Additionally, his wife, Joanne, was super helpful as well. She helped us with the staging and design. Will recommend them for anyone who wants to sell their home fast and with great value.

We are going to sell our house! We feel very luck to have found Joann as our home staging consultant!!!Here’s how Joann is fantastic. Before she came to our house, we asked her lots and lots of questions (we are a bit anxious about putting the house on the market). She was incredibly patient in answering all of our many questions. That she is a fabulous decorator goes without saying - we think she goes the extra mile in that she is a warm and caring person who takes her customers’ needs seriously.In our interaction, Joann was supremely professional, walking through our house from outside to inside, rearranging the backyard settings, moving around furniture, and giving us lots of valuable suggestions and advice. Our home looks much better after her work. We are so grateful to her expertise. We would definitely hire her again. Joann has our highest recommendations!!

Mr Brent Rice of the Rice Group is one of the best real estate agents I have come across among a number of others that I have done business with. He is trust worthy, diligent, has a good understanding of the clients needs and and expectations, and above all, is friendly. These are the qualities that make him an exceptional broker. I wish him more and more success.

Weve bought/sold a few houses over the years and this was by far the best experience weve had with selling our home/house. Brent had a buyer for our place about 5 days after it went on the market and we closed about three weeks later and this was late in the year/fall season. We couldnt ask for better results. Brent is an excellent communicator he always kept us updated. If you need a realtor Brent has the experience and feel for the market that you can trust.

Brent and his wife Joanna are THE team you want at your side when looking for your new home. This is our second time buying a house with them, first time selling and we are SO thankful to have them by our side throughout the whole process. Brent and his wife helped stage our home to make it look the absolute best and hired a wonderful photographer. We were able to find multiple offers for our house in less than 12 hours of it being on the market and had a smooth sales process as well. Then, we were able to find our dream home, Brent’s incredibly, skillful experience helped our offer get accepted. Brent was always quick to answer our phone calls and help guide us when making difficult decisions as well. He was there every step of the way. We cannot express enough how grateful we are to him and Joanna for making our home selling and buying experience smooth. They are also the kindest, most wonderful people too! Brent and Joanna are THE BEST in the biz HANDS DOWN!

In February 2018, Brent was my realtor in purchasing a new home and he was terrific. A review of that sale has previously been listed and knowing that I would be selling a home in the following months, I knew Brent would be the one to help me do so. Being the expert that he is, he provided his expertise on his recommendation for an asking price and he was spot on because we closed with an offer that we were very pleased with. Brent worked diligently with the buyers lender to make sure everything was in place in order to close without any delay and to have a smooth transition. In the unexpected event that we will need to sell our new home at some point in the future, I know that it will be The Rice Group whom I will be contacting. For those of you who are reading this review, I can say that there is no need to look further for an agent to assist you as Brent is the one. He will take the time to listen to your needs and will keep you up to date on every aspect of the real estate transaction. Thank you, Brent, for all your hard work.

Believe me... you’ll get more than a realtors!

Rice group was reliable to work with. They are very meticulous helping us to see many of our blind spots. They gave us great recommendations for other services that we needed like getting a third party inspection and understanding the mortgage process since it was our first home. They are a very responsive and are there for us in every step. Great advisors. It was a blessing for us to work with Brent and Joann for our first home.

Brent is an outstanding DFW realtor whom my wife and I cannot recommend enough. He is a step above all other realtors we’ve encountered who brag about their many years of experience but then take the cookie cutter approach to buying and negotiating on a home. On top of that, he knows the lay of the land because he’s grown up in DFW and he has the business acumen of sensing market trends to foster buyer confidence in what is otherwise a sellers’ market here in DFW.Brent comes from an underwriting Goldman Sachs background where he was frequently engaged with many C-suite stakeholders. In other words, Brent has very sharp soft-skills and knows how to approach a seller’s agent in order to motivate sellers to seal the deal. He’s a Pit Bull with the finesse and likability of a Labrador Retriever.Words are not precise enough to describe Brent. My wife and I hired Brent ~ Thanksgiving when we had to let our previous agent go after 1.5 years of house hunting. We didn’t switch to another realtor sooner because we really liked our previous realtor, but we had to make the painful business decision of letting them go to get a fresh pair of eyes on our situation before my relocation benefits expired. By ~ New Years, Brent helped us to secure a house we were pursuing with our previous agent but failed to do so as a result of our realtor getting frustrated with the sellers’ agent.There’s no other way I can put to words in describing Brent other than comparing him to a great cup of coffee. You need to experience many bad cups before you can recognize a truly great cup. For rookie home buyers who have never had to experience many bad realtors, all I can say is take a leap of faith and go with Brent. His performance will set your expectations high that in your lifetime, other realtors will pale in comparison to Brent.

My wife and I were fortunate to work with Brent for the second time to sell our house and purchase a new home. I cannot express enough how great Brent and his wife Joann are to work with. Brent is incredible at his job and he is always available whenever needed. Whether youre buying or selling a house you want someone you can trust to explain everything and guide you through the process and no one is better than Brent, and on top of it hes a genuinely great guy and we definitely consider him a friend.

We are so glad we chose Brent to be our realtor for the sale of our home. He guided us every step of the way and we followed his suggestions. He helped us find service people to take care of a few repairs, and monitored the repairs when we had to move before they were completed . He is trust worthy and dedicated to doing right by his clients. We highly recommend Brent.

Brent Rice of the Rice Group treated me with exceptional professionalism and courtesy during the selling process. He helped to coordinate several successful preparatory repairs to the house, such as a roof replacement. As I was no longer living on the property, his help allowed for a successful transition to the new owners. He was communicative, responsive, and persistent throughout our difficult family situation, and I would highly recommend his services.

He made sure everything went as smooth as possible for us. Eventhough we werent the ideal buyers for most sellers, I have no doubt Brent would have gone to bat for us, no matter what property we would have chosen. In the end, he made sure we were protected as buyers, got us the home we wanted and under the terms we wanted. Would definitely recommend Brent to all my family and friends! Thank you Brent!

My wife and I both had the pleasure and good fortune to have Brent sell a house for us when we moved out of state, and now help us find a new house a few years later when we moved back. He is very aware of the preferences and personalities of both of us. My wifes care-abouts and mine while very compatible, can be from completely different perspectives. He listens very well, and is able to provide information that is important to have when making such a big decision. He is beyond reproach in his ethics and overall a great guy! We were blessed to have him on our team. I would highly recommend him to anyone. We consider him not just a real estate agent but as a true friend and excellent resource of information. He really helped us keep score of things:)Thank you Brent for helping us to have found our wonderful new home!

Brent Rice assisted me with the purchase of my home in The Legends when it was a foreclosure. He told me back in 2010 that The Colony would be a great place to own property and live. He was right! What I learned about Brent is that he knows what he is talking about because he is been in the real estate business for almost 30 years and has been in our area for the past 15 years. I have used him for several other real estate matters including leasing my home when I had to move out of state for work. He helped me on multiple occasions and always keeps me up to date on the price trends in our area so I know when I need to sell or even look to buy an investment property. I highly recommend Brent. He is very trustworthy and always looks out for my best interests.

Brent is an exceptionally talented individual. He is hands down the best relator I have ever worked with and would recommend him to anyone, including my family. He is honest, transparent, expert with macro and micro Dallas metro real estate trends, dedicated, driven, and without a doubt will put your interests first. What makes Brent different from other relators is that he is much more than someone who will let you into homes and write an offer. He is an advisor, he will make you think differently, and he will make sure your find the right home for your family. I highly recommend Brent to anyone looking for a relator.

The Ultimate Realtor...Youve found!In 2014 Brent Rice sold my home in 3 days, just North of Frisco, TX.Then December 2016, he made buying rural land in East Texas, a walk in the park.The first thing he did was teach me about how to sell a home. Creating a welcoming, refreshing environment that the buyer feels comfortable in.From the way he took pictures of the home (Yes, this agent can take good pics),  to the way he staged things, Brent is the best at what he does.If you just tell him what you want to accomplish, hell help you chart a course to make it happen smoothly.On multiple occasions he contacted me with great out of the box ideas to improve the deal for everyone involved, while of course looking out for his clients interest.I cant imagine buying or selling being any easier than with Brent.He has my business, as long as he wants it!Alex P.North Texas

I used Brent Rice of the Rice Group and it was an amazing experience! I needed to sell my mothers townhouse after she went into assisted living. Brent kindly and skillfully walked me through the process of preparing the home for sale, staging it for dramatic appeal and the showing process. His wife JoAnn is a very talented and creative stager and a real estate agent as well. I felt like I got a two-for-one special!! She gave me many, outstanding ideas on decorating and bringing out the unique features of the home. We wanted our home to be someone elses to enjoy for years to come. When the time came for negotiations and contract amendments I was overwhelmed. Brent explained each step in understandable language and we arrived at our goal of selling the house to the right person at the right time for the right price! From start to finish it was a meaningful journey for my mother and I. I would recommend this very personable and experienced couple for any real estate job, big or small!!!
