Rick Baker number 1
Coldwell Banker in America for Home Partners of America.

I was named number 1 in America for this first-time home buyer program.  Home Partners has helped over 60,000 people get onto the path towards home ownership.  The program was so impressed by my extensive experience and market knowledge of the DFW market and real estate in general that they put me onto a nationwide advisory panel with 9 other real estate agents. Think about this... that organization has bought tens of thousands of homes so they PROBABLY know a good real estate agent when they see one.    So, if an organization that has bought tens of thousands of homes trusts me.... then perhaps you can find some valuable insight as well from talking with me.

Dave Ramsey
Approved Real Estate Agent

Being selected as a Dave Ramsey Approved real estate agent was one of the hardest accolades to accomplish in my Real Estate career.   For more than 30 years Dave Ramsey has shown Americans from all walks of life how to truly get ahead and it is done by sacrificing for the short term to live a much better life later. The selection process is very VERY intrusive and I had to apply multiple times to be accepted.

First time I applied was when I had earned the elite status of top 5 percent of ALL the real estate agent in my MLS. I remembered the assessment coach at Dave Ramsey telling me that being top 5 percent in my MLS was pretty good...and I thought I had made it. Then he said... 'We don't work with just 'pretty good' we only work with the best' He encouraged me to continue my career path and reapply a few more years down the road which is what I did....and they accepted me at that time when I had achieved the level of being ranked in the top 2 percent of all Rreal estate agent in America.  https://www.ramseysolutions.com/trusted/what-is-ramseytrusted
