"My husband was recently transferred from New York City to Boca Raton. We began our search for a home online and ran across Boca Executive Realty. Not only was the sight wonderful and easy to use, it paired us with Richard Buch as our agent. From the very beginning, we found Richard both responsive and informative. He walked us through the difference between equity and non equity communities. He was very knowledgeable about the area and the neighborhoods, school districts and he helped us to narrow down our home search to the communities that would best fit our needs as a family. He was always prepared and prompt on the days that we went out to look at homes. He respected our tastes and never pushed us to look in a price range out of our comfort zone. Thanks to Richard, we found a lovely home! We can only hope the rest of our experiences in Boca can be as wonderful!" Nelson and Kelley Searcy
"A couple of years ago we started to look for a house in the Boca Raton area. We live in Europe, but enjoy Florida's lifestyle and plan to spend between five and seven months each year in the sun. We began our search long distance on the internet and were referred by friends to Boca Executive Realty (www.bocaexecutiverealty.com). We were immediately impressed with its ease of use and wealth of information. Once registered on the website, we were contacted by Richard Buch, a Realtor with Boca Executive. Richard spent quite some time with us working to identify those characteristics that would be important to us in our new home. As these discussions progressed, Richard recommended two communities that fit our needs, one of which was Boca Grove Plantation. Richard lives and works in Boca Grove. His knowledge of the community and relative value of the homes is second to none. In hindsight, I am sure we did not seem like great prospects for him at the time. We told him that we were just exploring and that any potential purchase would occur only after selling our home in Belgium which was not yet on the market. As we had never lived in Florida for an extended period of time, we would be purchasing a modest home in order to make sure we enjoyed living in the area. Richard understood this from day one and has supported us for over two years until we finally put forth an offer on a home which was accepted in Boca Grove. In every aspect of this process, Richard was there to provide guidance and advice. Whatever question we asked (and there were many), Richard replied diligently and promptly, often spicing it up with a great sense of humor. He kept us in the loop when new homes would come on the market and new issues were impacting the community (like the recent golf course renovation project). He guided us through the process, negotiated a fair price, and gave us references for architects, inspectors and insurance coverage. He always conducted himself in a professional manner and was willing to meet to discuss issues on evenings and weekends. His calm demeanor and confidence under pressure was very reassuring to us during the transaction. Over time, he has become a good friend who we hope to see often in the community. Richard never pushed us nor guided us in the direction of a house which Boca Executive was offering on an exclusive basis. He was genuinely interested that we would find a home that would answer to our needs and wishes. Our experience with Boca Executive Realty and Richard Buch, in particular, has been nothing short of superb. It has been our pleasure to work with him and his firm and we can recommend him without qualification to anyone seeking a superior home buying experience. Whatever (negative) perception one may have about Realtors, Richard Buch proves the absolute opposite!
Thank you, Richard, for all of your help, guidance and support.
