Richard Crabtree

“Rich is an above and beyond, excellent realtor. From start to finish he was incredibly personable and highly knowledgeable. As first time homebuyers, he was an incredible resource, helped build our confidence, and ultimately found us a home we love. Over a year after buying our home he is still always willing to answer questions and provide insight. Even if you’re not looking to buy a house, be sure to stop by his open houses and ask him about Springfield history!”

“Richard (Rich) Crabtree is a one of a kind source when it comes to all things that have to do with the home. I feel so lucky to have found him when I did. I had lived in apartments ever since graduating from College. One day I was driving around Springfield, MO with my Mom and saw a super cute house for sale. Rich's name was on the listing and she suggested I give him a call. He was able to meet us at the house in less than 30 minutes! He showed us around the home and told us everything about the history of the home and builder. He knew everything to the smallest detail. He wasn't pushy and I appreciated him taking time out of his weekend to show us the house. The house was unfortunately too much for me to take care of. But after that viewing, I had house fever. I really wanted to get out of my apartment and actually have space in a home I loved. He listened to what I liked and what I didn't like. He filled me in on historical facts about the different areas and neighborhoods in Springfield. Over the next few months, he arranged several house viewings for me. I liked every single house that he showed me until finally he showed me THE ONE. I knew it from the moment that I saw it. I had never purchased a home before. So, on my own I wouldn't have known where to start. He pointed me in all the right directions and gave me the exact connections that I needed to make that house mine. Everything went smoothly and I couldn't have asked for a better process. Not only did he help me purchase my first home, when it was time for me to move on..he helped me with the sale of it. He knew exactly what I needed to do in order to get my home sold. Since it was an older home, he came up with a plan to make it better for the next owners. I was already moved out but would come back to periodically work on getting it ready for sell. He gave me a complete guide and list of needed repairs. He has all the contacts… anyone needed for any services. All his contacts are super honest and dependable. I felt safe leaving my home in their hands. He also put in quite a bit of time doing touch ups himself. He truly understands what a home needs. He worked on it as if it was his own. Rich has also been a photographer for years. His photos are some of the best you’ll see! He can capture character and knows the best angles in order to grab the eye of the next owner. In fact, my house was sold in less than 24 hours just from the photos alone! He will take care of things from start to finish. You won’t feel confused or stressed or unsure because he will be there with you through it all. No one cares more, researches more, knows more period! He will always be on my contact list for advice. You will not find anyone better for your home owning needs! ”
