When Rick Ardizzone and John Howmiller became partners about 13 years ago it was based on a multiple strategy; one was making sure they were taking care of their clients in the best possible way, as well as their families; and secondly, having the marketing muscle and power to advertise their clients properties in the best way possible at a standard that had not yet been precedented in the industry. This tradition of focusing on cutting edge technology, advanced marketing and negotiation strategies has been the cornerstone of our team’s ongoing success.

“Primarily it’s the relationships that you form. I’ve found through the years that the people we’ve worked with are constantly referring other people to us, they’ve really appreciated the kind of care and consideration they’ve had, and we’ve generally had an excellent meeting of the minds. That’s led us to find common agreement in what the basics are that they’re looking for and how the transaction's going to take place...because strategy and negotiation are incredibly important parts of this business.” John Howmiller
