Maria and Richard were wonderful from helping us to get the property ready for sale with guidance to how to present the property to the presentation on the open house days. They were always available no matter what time we needed to have questions answered. We never felt pressured or had any doubt that they had our best interest at hand. They were professional and friendly and worked hard to get our house sold. We have no hesitation recommending these lovely people

We sold our home with YPA, Richard Stockman was the selling agent and as an added bonus his wife, Maria. Richard was fantastic, my partner and I both like a straight shooter and if you want someone to deliver feedback in a respectful and truthful manner - Richard is your MAN! Richard and Maria worked tirelessly for us to achieve what we wanted, nothing was too hard, they certainly went the extra mile, with feedback or advice. Both Richard and Maria came to see us numerous times when it could, and should have been their downtime. I honestly don’t think I could have developed a positive rapport with any other agent, Richard was so very approachable. Richard Stockman is definitely your man, if you are thinking of selling and want a positive experience in a very competitive environment. Jan

After dealing with many uncommunicative or outright rude agents, Richard was a breath of fresh air! Very friendly, genuine and honest from the outset, he made us very comfortable with pursuing the purchase and achieved a good outcome for all parties. We wish there were more selling agents like him!

Richard was an absolute professional to work with from the very first day we signed up with him. His knowledge of market statistics and trends was unmatched by any other agent and he surpassed all our expectations during the process of selling our long term family home.
