Richard Reid is an excellent realtor with a breadth of knowledge that is unmatched by anyone I have worked with in the past. His attention to detail and friendly pursuit of all areas to get a deal and satisfy his customer are outstanding. Even in areas where it is not necessary, Richard will go the extra mile and even fight the battles that some realtors leave to their clients to sort out later. I had not been in the housing market in quite a number of years and Richard made it seamless. He explained things that I had forgotten and illuminated areas that were new in the real estate business. I will recommend him to any and all I meet.

Richard Reid is "Realtor Extraordinaire" around our house. He was meticulous with every detail imaginable. He did more and knew more than ANY realtor that I have ever worked with over the years. His expertise regarding all things Decatur was impressive. We found a house that we love and didn't think it would be possible. We even were able to get financing which we told was impossible...until we met Richard and his team of housing experts. Thanks to Richard for everything. We can't wait to see him at our house warming party!

Richard is an Ultimate seasoned professional who puts the needs and wants of his clients first! I have worked with many Realtors over the years and find Richard one of the few agents who tells it like it is without making open-ended promises! Richard sold us our lovely home over 5 years ago and we have recommended him since to several of our friends who have all been equally satisfied. If you are looking for a trust worthy, no nonsense-seasoned veteran, with a vast knowledge of the Real Estate market, look no further because Richard is definitely the one!

Richard Reid and his Direct Link Realty team are hands down he BEST real estate group with whom I have ever worked. When I moved to GA four years ago, I was relatively new to real estate investment. I flipped and sold two prior properties in another state, and wanted to continue doing so while in GA, but had to make sure I made the right investments and didn’t take on anything I could not handle (I have a full-time healthcare career, so all investment property work comes secondary to that). Richard took the time to get to know me and my real estate investment goals, and understand my limitations as a buyer and flipper. He educated me on Atlanta’s many sub-communities and outlying cities, and provided comprehensive support throughout each property search, contract negotiation and closing process. Richard remained of great utility after each home purchase, as well. He networks with top-notch contractors and service companies, which made outsourcing various renovation projects stress-free. I knew I could trust anyone he referred, which meant everything to me since these properties were investments for my future. I also relied on Richard’s advice when trying to determine whether to sell or rent a property based on market and economic projections. Despite recently returning to my home state, I continue to rely on Richard to help me find vacation rental investment properties in GA and FL. This man is a one stop shop! Overall, with Richard Reid’s support and guidance, I have maintained a diverse portfolio and profited very well on multiple flip and rental properties. I have sent multiple friends and colleague to him for home purchase and rental needs, as well. All have given me the same feedback regarding their experiences. I feel very fortunate to have found Richard and his top-notch Direct Link Realty team, and am confident anyone working with them will feel the same.

We worked with Richard in the spring of 2017 to find a larger home for our growing family. We could not have been more pleased with Richard’s professionalism and his knowledge of Atlanta real estate, financing options, and cost/considerations for renovations. We were looking for a home that needed some updates and Richard was able to offer helpful and honest assessments of each property’s potential. In a short time, we found just what we were looking for and he even connected us with a fantastic contractor to complete the updates we envisioned on schedule and on budget. If you’re looking for a real estate agent who will act as your partner, Richard is it!

As most couples know, marriage is a compromise and some married couples find it nearly impossible to agree on a restaurant for dinner or even their Netflix movie selection … one can only imagine the difficulty that married couples face when jointly deciding their ideal house. Thankfully, we chose Richard Reid, as our real estate agent, and he made this decision seem easy! Richard has exceptional skills in learning the preferences of his couples and leading his couples to a perfect compromise! Richard Reid is a fantastic agent for first-time homebuyers and even real estate investors. Richard’s accommodating personality combined with his great teaching ability allows even the most inexperienced to intuitively understand the nuances of real estate including contracts, laws, home inspections, renovations, financing options, mortgages and much more. Richard’s understanding and knowledge of the Atlanta real estate market is unparalleled and his value to a real estate investor’s team is priceless! Richard has great attention to detail, always-on availability, and superb negotiation ability. We have recommended Richard to our family members as well as our close friends. From our thoroughly positive experience with Richard, we recommend Richard Reid to be your trusted real estate agent.

Richard helped us find our home in Morningside. As first time home buyers we had lots of questions & concerns, Richard went above and beyond to help us find the perfect house for us.

Richard simply is the best and most professional Realtor you will find in Atlanta. He has helped us close when we were buying and selling, buying a rental property, selling rental property, and helped me navigate the landlord process. He is quick to listen, but will also fight for you when needed. I wouldn't have anyone else list my property or help me find a new one. You will have total comfort with Richard during the entire process.

I would definitely use Richard and Direct Link again. As first time purchasers, we were a little nervous, but their team helped guide us through the process. They were extremely helpful in our home search and purchase!

I have known Richard for many years. He originally showed me properties when I was single, straight out of grad school. He was so helpful and kind. I ultimately didn't end up buying a property then, but when I was getting married a few years later and we started our home search, I immediately called Richard. He helped us get into a house that we absolutely love. Then about 6 months after we closed, he helped us with a big problem we encountered and for that we will be forever grateful. There's no doubt who will be our Realtor next time around!! Thank you Richard for everything.

Richard was a joy to work with. Right from the start he made us feel like we were his top priority. He put all of our worries to ease from the start and made the stressful process of selling one home and buying another a breeze. We quickly received a full price offer on the home we were selling thanks to his guidance and deep knowledge of the real estate market. Richard was always available to answer all of our questions and made great recommendations for contractors, etc. to use after the sale. He also coordinated all of the companies that visited each house for various reasons during the inspection process. If you are even considering buying or selling a home, do yourself a favor and give Richard a call.

It took us seven trips from out of state to Decatur before we finally found a home that fit our family's needs. Richard was with us through the entire lengthy experience and knew better than we did what would work best for us. Richard is patient and he really listens to everyone's perspective. He has incredible knowledge about real estate, all the business surrounding purchase (or selling) a home, as well as how to live well and comfortably. Richard was transparent, honest, and incredibly supportive. I remember after having put in what must have been our third or fourth offer, only to find the home was sold a few hours before, I felt like we would never prevail. On a lark, we asked Richard to try to get us in to see a home that was not yet on the market. I don't know how he did it, but he did, and quickly. It turned out that it was the perfect place for us. We recommend Richard Reid's Direct Link Realty to anyone who is moving to the area. He knows the market well and is persistent in finding the home that YOU want within your budget. Plus, he has a great sense of humor and is a pleasure to be around, making the entire stressful business of house hunting a real treat.

Richard sold our house in Virginia Highlands and helped us find our home in Druid Hills. Richard went above and beyond for us, whether attending to details ahead of open houses, making recommendations for small tweaks to make our house attractive to prospective buyers, or making sure that the marketing photos were just right. On the buying side, he spent plenty of time with us and discerned what we needed before we realized it ourselves. Highly recommend!
