Dick just helped me sell my Irvine house. He did a fabulous job and went above and beyond. He helped on everything from an artful eye for staging, to showing the property in the windows of time I could provide between working from home, to negotiating with multiple offers on the house. Dick was responsive to any concerns and questions and got all my questions answered. His creativity led to including an online video and 3D virtual tour. He took as much time to discuss sales issues as I needed. I recommend Dick as a top notch, experienced realtor. After the sale, he was able to connect me with another great agent in my new state. I would ask Dick to help me again in a heartbeat. * * * Response from Dick Crawford on 8/5/2020: Kathy, it was a joy to work with you to prep the home and work out the details of your sale. I am so glad all your plans came together - what a team!

My wife and I could not be more impressed with Dick Crawford. Dick has the ability to simplify the stressful home buying process and make you feel at ease. He is extremely thorough and takes the time to walk each step with you. Dick was professional and confident which helped us relax knowing we had a seasoned Pro working for us! On top of his professional, Dick is also super friendly and easy to talk to. We consider him as one of our friends after this experience and have already started recommending him to friends and family. * * * Response from Dick Crawford on 7/2/2020: M+B, thank you for your comments.

My family and I have known Dick for about 20 years. In that time, I’ve learned that he is the type of person who genuinely cares about people. When we sold/bought our house, we went with him because he was someone we trusted. When we started the process, I was Pleasantly surprised to see how organized he was. He kept us up to date with calls, emails, and meetings. Buying/selling a home is usually a stressful process but he made it comfortable and enjoyable. I would recommend him to anyone who is in the market. * * * Response from Dick Crawford on 6/12/2020: Thank you, Mr. T, for your business! I enjoyed our project ~ the communication between us made all the difference, hopefully helping you feel prepared for the decisions you made along the way.

Dick was so knowledgeable about the entire process. He did everything from help me stage the house to wait at my house for the termite guy, painters, etc. He had great advice on sales strategies. He was always available via text, email and telephone. * * * Response from Dick Crawford on 9/4/2018: Thanks, Ms. Puppycats! It was a team effort for sure, and your diligent preparation checklist made a big difference - your home was ready to go with no surprises for the buyer!

Dick is a very easy going guy who can put industry specific terms into understandable English. His presale recommendations made the sales process go very smoothly with no surprises popping up during escrow. While not taking some of his advice during the sales negotiations may have cost us a few bucks, he voiced his opinion but respectfully allowed us to make our own decisions to prioritize timeliness over a few extra dollars. The house sold in a day at a price that we predetermined was our target. Once it sold, everything went smoothly and there we no surprises, partly due to his presale advice. I recommend Dick Crawford's services without any qualifications. * * * Response from Dick Crawford on 5/12/2018: Thanks, Head Honcho! Preparation is the key to "no surprises" and you were the master preparer!

Mr. Crawford is Fantastic! We interviewed multiple Agents and his rapour with us was built immediately. He is a very knowledgeable Real Estate Agent with impressive negotiation skills. Not only did he provide some helpful insights on our neighborhood and comps but also suggestions for positioning our home for sale. It obviously worked because we had a buyer bidding war and sold for $20k over ask! To anyone reading this you want to speak with Dick before you select your Agent. Trust me, it's worth your wild! * * * Response from Dick Crawford on 4/27/2018: It was my pleasure, Mike ~ the teamwork was very good and the home was properly prepared to look its best.

Dick was recommended to me by the realtor who sold my previous house in the Bay Area. He said he’d met Dick at realtor conventions where Dick would teach, and he considered Dick a mentor. * * * Response from Dick Crawford on 4/27/2018: Every once in a while we come across a good challenge, Paul - it just happened to come up on your purchase!

Wonderful professional real estate agent. Dick isn’t new at this game and his expertise really shows. I was able to sell my property and handle the entire transaction via phone and DocuSign without even meeting him in person. He came highly recommended and in my situation with a co-owner who lacked communication with me directly, Dick performed as a middle man and handled the entire situation professionally at all times. Thank you for all your hard work and getting the price and terms to align just perfectly.  * * * Response from Dick Crawford on 4/27/2018: Communication is always the key and it was a challenge at times, but in the end everyone wanted to get the deal done. I was happy to guide the way and navigate the sticky parts!

If you want a team to make the process of selling and purchasing your home as effortless as possible then you want Dick Crawford and Dwayne Fernandez by your side. The combination of Dick’s knowledge, organization and attentiveness allowed for my house to be sold within three days of being on the market. My case was especially difficult as I travel for work and my availability was limited. Dick kept the communication channels open and explained every step of selling and purchasing my homes and because of that there were no surprises. Dick provided many referrals, one being my Mortgage Broker (Dwayne Fernandez) that made purchasing of my home possible. The entire process was done electronically as I traveled for work. Dwayne was readily available and showed the same level of attentiveness as Dick. As my case was unique, he researched, attended webinars, and ran many scenarios to help me qualify for the loan. Together Dick and Dwayne went beyond the call of duty to assist me with purchasing my home. They truly made me feel that we were a team and together we could make anything happen, and that I had their full support and attention. I highly recommend Dick and Dwayne.  * * * Response from Dick Crawford on 5/26/2017: Thank you, Bita, I will pass this along to Dwayne! Selling your San Dimas home and finding a home to buy in Yorba Linda was a pleasure. The market was tight, but you were an excellent student and a focused client. And when we found the right one, you were quick to move on it ~ all our work came to fruition with your willingness to take the leap!

Dick recently helped us purchase our first house. As first time home buyers we were clueless about the process and where to even begin. Dick helped us every step of the way- from helping us narrow in on our search criteria, to signing the final papers. Dick's response time was always fast and we felt like he always made time for us, even if it was at 9pm. Dick answered all of questions and he gave us referrals for anything that was out of his realm of expertise. I would recommend Dick to friends and family in a heartbeat!! * * * Response from Dick Crawford on 5/26/2017: Taylor, I have never been soaked to the skin while showing houses, but the heavy rains in Jan-Feb did not slow you down! While we were out, touring in the downpour, other buyers were home waiting for sunshine. That's why you got the best home of the litter - no one else was willing to even look! It was both fun and successful - thank you for your business!

Dick was so incredibly knowledgeable and helpful throughout our whole process. As first time home buyers with a renovation loan we needed A LOT of guidance but he was always there for us. He was even super helpful with what renovations we should make for the best resale results. I cannot stress enough how great Dick's advice was. He is very trust worthy which is what we needed with our inexperience. Having him on our side is the reason we were able to successfully purchase our first home. * * * Response from Dick Crawford on 5/26/2017: Thanks, Lindsey, it was fun working with visionaries! The key to your successful purchase was your ability to see past the original, outdated, dirty condition and envision the possibilities - it gave you the confidence to make the offer without hesitation. And now, many months later, congratulations are in order - at your housewarming party recently I saw your renovation work. It has transformed the interior and is exactly as you said it would be!

If you want to deal with the best agent, Dick Crawford is the one for you. He LISTENS to his clients which is one of the most important aspects of an agent to me. He is forthright, honest and extremely savvy. He knows his stuff! We were in the process of selling our family home and that can be a very difficult time. He always thinks of his clients first and will point you in the direction that will best suit your needs. * * * Response from Dick Crawford on 5/26/2017: Thank you, Nancy, for speaking up so I could truly understand your needs and for all the discussions to be certain we were on the same page. We have all these new fancy ways to transfer information, but unless we really engage with one another, there are no guarantees. Intentional communication is the key!

Dick Crawford is the BEST Real Estate agent. I burned through nearly 4 other agents before I met Dick. Some of them were good, some were awful. But the fact is, Dick was the only one that was able to get us into a perfect home for our family. I couldn't get anyone to even consider my offers with other agents, but Dick represented us so well, that the second offer we put in with him was accepted. He was so knowledgeable, and positive. I couldn't believe how easy he made the process of buying a home.

Dick has been more than a real estate agent to us. He has always gone way beyond his responsibilities as an agent. He is always available to you for questions, patient when you are indecisive, and overall a very thoughtful, and professional man. He listens to your ideas and then finds what you want. And he continues keep in touch, checking back to see if we need anything more. Truly a great choice in a real estate agent!

We bought our first home thanks to Dick. With busy work schedules and a tight purchase window, Dick rose to the occasion and found several lovely homes that matched what we were looking for. Thanks to this great upfront planning and Dick's knowledge of the area, we were able to decide on our dream home after a couple of in-person visits. He had great negotiation skills, helping us to develop a competitive, affordable offer. Dick will be the first one we reach out to when we are ready for our next home.
