Rick McCandless | Poway Realtor | San Diego

Rick has been such a great realtor to work with! We had to sell our father’s home in Escondido after he passed last year and Rick was instrumental in helping us through the entire process. We are not local (we currently live in Texas) and we were concerned this would be a difficult process…Rick made it so easy! His willingness to go the extra mile to make sure the house was looked after while we were out of state was awesome. I would highly recommend him to sell your home. His knowledge of the area and the market were so helpful. Thanks to him, we sold in a timely manner and received the profit we were looking for. He was great!

He has a lot of experience and it shows. Would definitely recommend using him if you're looking for a realtor.

We highly recommend Rick, and his team, as both a seller and a buyer. Rick listed our home of 37 years in Poway, rolled up his sleeves and helped in the pre-sale prep, and then sold the property within one day of the open house. Subsequently, Rick helped us purchase a new home in R.B. - over several weeks of looking - until we found what we were looking for. And then he saved our assets during negotiations, and after-sale issues with the seller.

I can't say enough great things about my experience working with Rick McCandless. From start to finish, he was the definition of professional, knowledgeable, and endlessly patient. His deep understanding of the local market was immediately apparent. He knew exactly how to price, position, and negotiate, and his insights gave me total confidence every step of the way. But what truly sets Rick apart is how available and responsive he is. No matter what time of day, he was always just a call or text away, ready to answer my questions with clarity and kindness. He never rushed me, always took the time to explain things thoroughly, and made sure I understood every part of the process. And let’s be honest—buying or selling a home can be stressful.
