Rich assisted my son in finding and purchasing his first home in Los Angeles. Everything about the process was perfect. Start to finish. He never once pushed my son to do something he wasn’t comfortable with. He didn’t try to persuade him to go over his budget. He was always available and communicated well. Rich helped put my son’s mind at ease being this was his first time going through this process. I have bought and sold over 20 properties in my life so I’ve dealt with a lot of realtors. Rich, hands down, was one of the very best. 10 out of 10. - Michele P.
Rich is the best in the business! He was incredibly responsive, understood what we were looking for even better than we did, acted quickly when it was time to move forward with the offer process, introduced us to a great mortgage lender, and overall leveraged his contacts to ensure we got the home of our dreams (on our first attempt). Planning to work with Rich again in the future and we’re already introducing him to our friends. - Patrick L.
Every once in a while you work with someone in a professional capacity that becomes a friend. Not only is Rich one of the most thorough, patient and creative real estate agents I've worked with, he's also a great person. Rich expertly guided me through my purchase in NELA from initial search to closing and beyond. His knowledge of the area, relationships with other agents and ability to spot the gems and diamonds in the rough are all second-to-none. I'm very pleased to have created a relationship with one of the best, and I know when it comes time to sell and do it all over again, he'll be my first call. - Justin L
Rich worked tirelessly to help me find the perfect Highland Park Home. His patience, dedication and attention to detail are unmatched. - Joshua G.
Rich made the scary and tedious process of finding a home somehow manageable and pleasant. Most importantly, he knew exactly what it would take for us to get our offer accepted in an incredibly competitive Northeast LA market. He's a true authority and has an unparalleled level of commitment to his clients. Could not recommend Rich more highly! - Mike D.
I, a home inspector, have been working with Rich for years. Honest man, so honest I asked him to be my agent for my own home. Highly recommend him. - Jerry H.
I'm so glad I worked with Rich Michalowski to find a perfect home for our family. He was patient, kind and so easy to communicate with. He explained every step of the way what was happening and was always available to show us any property we wanted to see. He also listened to our needs and made us feel taken care of. - Ruby W.
Rich is the best! He’s cool, professional, and incredibly empathetic. I send everyone his way because he’s just wonderful to work with—always patient, communicative, and genuinely invested in helping his clients. Highly recommend! - Lauren C.
I recently had to sell my late mother’s home, which was a very emotional process for me and my family. From the very beginning, Rich was more than just a real estate agent — he was a steady guide, a compassionate listener, and an incredibly capable professional.
He took the time to understand the sentimental value of the home, while also offering honest and strategic advice to help us prepare it for sale. He handled everything with care and respect, from organizing inspections to staging and marketing, and made what could have been an overwhelming experience feel manageable and even hopeful.
Thanks to his expertise and dedication, we were able to sell the house quickly and in a way that honored my mom’s legacy. I’m deeply grateful for Rich’s support during such a personal transition and would recommend him wholeheartedly to anyone looking for not just a realtor, but a true partner.

Rich helped my wife and I buy our house in Lincoln Heights and he was incredible. Held our hand through showings, multiple offers, and was able to negotiate some money back for repairs. He was so kind and patient with us along the way and we literally would not have gotten our dream home without him. - Kevin R.
Working with Rich was a pleasure from start to finish. He was the calm needed in the stressful process of buying a home in LA.
We are very grateful to have worked with Rich on buying our first home. His deep knowledge of NELA and the housing market is invaluable and I would recommend to anyone looking for an expert in the field.

Rich is exactly who you'd want by your side during the winding journey of searching for, purchasing and closing on a home. He's kind, compassionate, calm under pressure and above all... honest and a great listener. When the inevitable curveball comes, his experience and steadiness help make it as peaceful and class as possible. Highly reccomend. - Keegan D.
Richard was incredibly helpful when I was looking for my new home last fall. Of all the many RE agents I interacted with he's the one I saved the info of preciously and I've been recommending him to friends ever since, a true gem! - Ari P.
