A seamless real estate investment Im a first-time real estate investor and wasnt certain if I should go for rental income or appreciation. A friend put me on to Rick Smith a Bay Area real estate agent in Santa Clara. I gave him a call and he was very responsive. He explained the ins and outs of property investment. He didnt pull any punches but explained the advantages and disadvantages. Rick knew just the thing for my budget. After looking round a few homes I settled on a neat house in Willow Glen. Rick took over the negotiations from there and stayed with me till all the paperwork was done. I would recommend Rick as a top-notch realtor to anyone looking for Bay Area property investment.
