John Rice

John Rice has an air of competent professionalism and gentlemanly charm which makes working with him easy and enjoyable.  He helped me find and purchase my first house, which involved a complicated set of search criteria.  Years later, he helped me sell that same house.  John was always prompt and clear in his communications and I would highly recommend working with him.

Since selling and moving from our beloved antique home not a day has gone by without us feeling thankful that John Rice was our Realtor. He came prepared to our initial meeting having researched our property and our town. Throughout the selling process we benefited from his unequaled knowledge and experience with the Seacoast real estate scene. That combined with his ability to put together an amazing marketing package made selling our house seem almost easy. Beyond all that, and despite the [...]

We were referred to John Rice by a local attorney who described him as very experienced and knowledgeable with the local real estate market.  He quickly helped by educating us about the local market and narrow our search based on our living preferences and budget. He helped us land our dream house and managed the closing process very smoothly. The whole experience could not have gone better.

I have worked with John for over 25 years. John is one of the most ethical REALTORS I have worked with. This is important in the real estate world. Also, he is one of the most competent and knowledgeable (Brokers) in the Seacoast area. I would be happy to work with John anytime.”

We were new to Portsmouth, although we had a sense of what we were looking for in buying a new residence.  John was patient with us.  More importantly, he knew the market well and brought his knowledge and experience to our research and then our transaction.  We learned why John is well-respected and we are grateful for the opportunity to work closely with him.  Now we are fortunate to count John as a friend and continued resource as we settle into our new Portsmouth life.

Thanks for the masterly handling of the sale of our house…Ben and I thank our lucky stars that we connected with you. Almost instantly and without any conversation between us, we knew you were the person to guide us through the excruciating process of selling our very special house. Day after day your hard work and encouraging attitude lifted much of the burden off our shoulders. Best of all, however, is that with our business concluded, we can now be friends. 

We bought our house through you and enjoyed the experience so much that you were the only one we called when we had to sell a family house. From pricing to marketing and attention to details, you were there for us from start to finish. We needed some painting and repairs done and you had access to first-rate contractors who responded immediately to our needs. You even managed the work when we couldn't. I wouldn't hesitate to call you again.

A year ago my brother and I inherited our parent’s home where we grew up and we needed to get it on the market quickly ready for sale. We also knew the house needed some improvements but we didn’t know which ones were necessary to sell our property. I asked John to meet us at our family home to give us an assessment.  He methodically told us what we needed to do and helped us get started. The house sold in less than a month in excess of our asking price.  John’s many years of being in real [...]

I was in expert hands from start to finish working with John. He anticipates his clients needs and handles them with care. He also has earned his reputation for integrity many times over.
