We had an excellent experience working with Rita. We purchased from out of state and Rita walked us through every step along the way. Within a week of seeing the photos of the ideal house for us, Rita did a FaceTime walk-through of it for us, answered all our questions promptly, set our minds at ease, and we made an (accepted) offer. She is warm and friendly while also being professional and very thorough. Highly recommend her services.

Working with Rita was an amazing experience! As a first time home buyer, Rita took care of me and made the process very smooth. I was able to close on a house that she recommended (based on my budget and preferences) within one month. Rita is a knowledgeable and friendly person who didn’t hesitate to answer any of my questions and made me feel comfortable throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend her to anyone who needs to find a home, especially in Tucson. Thank you, Rita!

Made it easy for us-
Rita was recommended by a close friend of ours. From the get go she proved to be knowledgeable, responsive and helpful in the search for our forever home. Rita is very experienced, professional, and resourceful. She guided us smoothly through the purchase process of our beautiful home, and even continues to assist us with having repairs done prior to moving from out of state. We can’t thank her enough and highly recommend Rita to anyone looking to purchase a home in the Tucson area.

Rita represented us as buyers 8 years ago and as sellers more recently. Great service, super knowledgeable about our central Tucson house. I felt she worked in our best interest each time.

Rita was my agent when I originally purchased my home and the experience was great. So when I retired from the Air Force and decided to sell my house it was a no brainer to go with her again. She made the whole process so easy. Her advice to prepare my home to go on the market was extremely helpful and definitely helped it standout. She really went the extra mile, helping me schedule some fixes requested by the buyers as I had already relocated. I would absolutely recommend her if you are looking to purchase or sell a home!

Best thing since sliced bread! Seriously, Rita was a joy to deal with. We were out-of-town buyers, so needed a different level of service. Rita was accommodating to our schedule, and zeroed in on what we were looking for quickly. Would not hesitate to recommend.

I’m a realtor in Raleigh/Durham NC and my clients needed to sell their home to buy a home here. I spoke with Rita and knew instantly that she was perfect to help my clients sell their property for top dollar quickly, and she did! A full price offer in one day! She communicated with us throughout this journey and partnering with her, my clients have had a seamless and enjoyable, stress free transaction. I hope to work with her again. I can’t sing her praises enough and her clients are lucky to have her.

Rita is a ROCKSTAR!! We had a very specific property needs which we knew would be a challenge to find, but Rita took on the challenge without hesitation. It took us four months to find the right property and a couple times we nearly gave up and settled for some thing we really didn’t love, but Rita encouraged us to wait until we found “the one“. She could have easily made a fast buck and moved on to other clients but she didn’t. She truly cares about her clients and their best interests. Rita is everything you could ever hope to find in a Realtor – she is honest, trustworthy, willing to go the extra mile, has integrity and the list goes on and on! Rita is not just a Realtor, we now call her a friend. Thanks a million Rita!!

I corresponded with Rita for over six months while living in Denver. She worked diligently looking for homes in the Green Valley area. She sent me lots of listings of homes, to see what I was interested in buying. She was right on with the type of house that I wanted! The first day out to look at houses, we found the perfect house!

Rita’s expertise allowed me to get the house of my dreams! She got me to closing in a week! Amazing! She sends me all kinds of emails and Facebook posts about Tucson and the surrounding areas. Very informative for a person new to the area. I would highly recommend Rita to anyone that needs a realtor! She is awesome!

Rita’s knowledge of midtown Tucson was fantastic! We were totally new to the area, and really relied on Rita to figure out what would be best for our family. She helped us explore several different areas around Tucson to find what was right for us, and then helped us find a great house in a neighborhood we loved. Even with such limited supply in the housing market, Rita was so proactive and thorough finding houses; we were under contract on a house we loved much more quickly than we expected! Rita was wonderful to work with and we can’t recommend her highly enough.

Rita was an amazing real estate agent. We were first time home buyers on a really short timeline. She was always on top of leads and explained the entire home buying process in detail from start to finish, even after we closed on the home and needed extra advice on repairs. Not only did she do an amazing job with aiding us in the transaction ,once we bought our home, she helped us find handymen, electricians and landscaping workers to help with upgrades. She was always available whenever we had a question and made us feel comfortable and at ease during the process. If you are looking for a motivated, friendly and professional real estate agent to help you find your home (especially if you are a first time home buyer!) don’t hesitate to reach out to Rita. We cannot say enough good things about her!

Rita is at the top of her game! Got the house looking amazing, put up a great listing and sold within a couple of weeks at a great price! To top it all off, she went above and beyond by helping us take care of some issues that came up after leaving town. Five stars!

First off, we’d give Rita a 10 out 5 star review if possible! She was utterly amazing. We did a decent amount of research before we met her, and knew what we wanted, and she gave us exactly what we were looking for on day one.

She took us to about 10 places, all within our specifications, and told us the positives and negatives of each one. This included the dates they were built and why that mattered specifically to each location, what was close to each place (as we walk a lot, we didn’t want to be far away from everything and have to drive), and so much more.

We were able to find the place we wanted one the first day we met with her and put in a bid. Not only was the bid lower than most of the other homes in our area, but it was accepted and she also negotiated to get money back to fix up little issues. All this was done easily, quickly, and with utter professionalism.

On top of that, she set us up with an incredible mortgage broker, electrician, and handyman. All were reliable, fast, and very fairly priced.

We’ve worked with other realtors and Rita leaves them in the dust with her ability to fit our needs, find the best prices, and make sure to follow up even after it is all over with and finished. She doesn’t act like a salesperson, disappear like other realtors after the sale is over, and you will feel like she’s been a lifelong friend when you work with her.

Rita has been our Realtor through a complicated relocation purchase and helped us find the perfect home for our budget & location needs. With valuable local knowledge, an amazing work ethic and exceptional client care, we have been so impressed with and thankful for Rita Gibbs.

Our family was selling our mother’s home remotely from FL. We signed papers with Rita on Sunday and had a great offer by Friday! She did the leg work and kept us abreast of what was going on.

She would email appropriate docs and text any time she needed anything more quickly. Highly recommend her. Very professional and obviously gets the results in a short time. Thank you Rita.

Having recently moved from Virginia, we found the Tucson housing market very difficult to navigate. We cannot say enough good things about Rita: she’s incredibly knowledgeable about all central neighborhoods, she listens very carefully to what you tell her is important to you and remembers it, she’s patient and encouraging while still being very straightforward about what’s realistic, and she’s very responsive. We’ve been so impressed with her and highly recommend her.

Rita Gibbs is knowledgeable about the Tucson real estate market and is a thoroughly professional Realtor. Rita is exceptionally helpful to house-hunting Tucson residents and Tucson house hunters who live far away from AZ. She responds promptly and it was a pleasure to work with her.

Rita sold my house as a listing agent. She got the price exactly right and the house sold with in two days of being on the market! Rita is very professional and easy to work with. It is clear she has a solid understanding of the market and provided excellent advice.

We just loved working with Rita! As first time buyers we weren’t sure what to expect but Rita made it easy for us and answered all our questions right away. When we were out house shopping Rita would not only show us the pros and cons of the property but also point out the neighbor’s homes and backyards and she would steer us away from areas that were “junky.” All the inspectors she recommended were knowledgeable, personable and reasonable which made for an even better home buying experience. We couldn’t be happier with our new home!

I highly recommend Rita Gibbs as a Tucson realtor. I live in another state, and this was my first Tucson home purchase. She found me the perfect property and called me the day it hit MLS. There were multiple offers but her strategy got my offer accepted. She made the whole process easy and has an excellent network of contractors who promptly got the upgrades done on my new property. I would not hesitate to use her for my next transaction.

Rita was very friendly and prompt in starting the process for us. She came to our house and we discussed what we wanted from the sale. She very quickly got an amazing house photographer for us and the pictures were posted online. They were absolutely amazing. We had a signed offer about 2 weeks after we listed. Whenever I had a question or concern, I texted or emailed Rita (I had her phone number, but it was usually easier for me to text/email) and she immediately got back to me. Anytime I got anxious about something, Rita was there to calm those fears and explain to me what I did not understand. I chose Rita due to a friend’s referral and would definitely recommend her to others.

I could never say enough about Rita. She is incredibly knowledgeable and made my buying and selling process a breeze. She showed me several houses and was always available for my questions. She knew about pros and cons of different areas of town and always shared good insight.

When I sold my house I had to do it long distance. She made it incredibly easy on my end.

Rita is very easy to work with. After our initial consultation defining what we were looking, she was always well prepared: had paperwork about the property and knew where to go and how to get there. She is very knowledgeable about the area, neighborhoods, schools, and shopping.

We worked with Rita on an home we purchased for our two children to live in while going to school. It will become a rental property after our children finish school. WE clearly told Rita what we were looking for and she found us the perfect house right at our price range. We contacted her as a listing agent for a home we found on Zillow. After looking at it we felt it was just not quite right so we told her what we were looking for. She took us to three other houses the next day and the last one we looked at is the one we purchased. We felt we needed to move on the property very quickly and Rita expedited things very well for us. We ended up closing on the house within only about 4 weeks from making the first offer, thanks largely due to Rita helping us through the process. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an agent who will work for you.

Rita helped my wife and I buy our first home, and was consistently available to answer questions, show us homes, and help us through the whole process.

Rita was great to work with and we would definitely recommend her to anyone. As first time homebuyers we weren’t exactly sure of what we were looking for and she was patient as we looked at homes all over the spectrum or prices, size, location, and amenities! She was extremely responsive via phone, email, and text. When she was not available she made sure we were taken care of by one of her colleagues. She is a very kind person and didn’t put pressure on us to look at homes higher than our price range, even though we were approved for more. She was very helpful with negotiations and scheduling inspections as well as helping us find contractors for repair estimates. We are very glad we chose to work with her!

I met Rita 3 years ago when I was planning a move to Tucson. Not being familiar with the area I was naturally apprehensive, but she immediately put me at ease. She was very thoughtful in her approach and was able to quickly discern my needs with regard to budget and location. So much so that I ended up purchasing the very first house she showed me! I recently enlisted her help in selling the house after deciding to relocate closer to family. I was impressed with her kindness, expertise, and attention to detail throughout the entire process. It was a joy to work with her! Whether you’re buying or selling a home, you won’t go wrong with Rita!

Rita is always helpful and responds fast to enquiries or requests. She handled the process really well and helped enormously in the issue of doing the negotiations from the other side of the world. She went beyond the call of duty to meet with the various inspectors as we were unavailable to do it ourselves.

Rita is very professional and yet super sweet. She was very accommodating with my schedule because I had to drive into town to look at properties. We looked at quite a few properties on several occasions. Rita knowledge of the area was impressive. The closing transaction wasn’t with glitches, but Rita helped mediate the process along nicely. I would highly recommend Rita to anyone who is looking for an agent.

I was extremely fortunate to have Rita Gibbs as my realtor. Being from Chicago, my husband and I flew into Tucson for a week hoping to find a home. The first day we looked mainly at homes I had chosen from the internet prior to arriving. After not liking any of them, I was concerned the trip would yield nothing. But Rita came to the rescue and had a listing for me to look at the next day that my husband and I loved and could afford. We put a bid on it listening to Rita’s advice regarding the negotiation process, and a few days later the contract was signed. The house is so wonderful that I retired to Tucson much sooner than I had planned.

Rita excelled as a realtor in significant ways. She took care of so many details for us after we went back to Chicago. While we were in Chicago, she did the closing inspection for us, she came to our new house to let rug cleaners in, to be there for furniture delivery and set-up. When we came back to Tucson a few weeks after the closing, we were so appreciative that we had a bed set up for us and some furniture in the house.

The other wonderful advantage about Rita compared to your general realtor is that she offers 15% of her net profit to non-profit organizations the client supports. I was blown away by this generous, compassionate gesture. I chose 2 organizations and each got a few hundred dollars from my home buying transaction. If you choose Rita as your realtor, you will have a great experience and she will work hard for you. Good luck finding your dream home. It can happen!

Rita understood my situation and was very responsive to my needs and she was patient with me in letting me make my own decisions. the home that I found with her help is perfect and i am very happy in my new home. I am starting over with a positive outlook for my future.

Simply put, Rita was AMAZING!! This was basically my first home purchase and Rita went above and beyond the role of an agent. She made sure she understood my needs and personality and helped me find houses that were suited for my tastes. She also took into account such important factors as safety of neighborhood, my finances, access to stores/restaurants/etc. Rita made a concerted effort to make sure that I was happy and worked non-stop to make sure all of my needs were met. She was easily accessible and responded to communications immediately whether over phone, text, or email. By the end of the process (and the home finally closing) Rita felt like family. If/when I buy another house, I hope that I can have Rita be my agent. Once you get the best you can’t accept anything less!!!

Rita served me as a real estate agent in early 2011, her expertise of the areas i was considering and the sheer amount of work she did for me should sway you to select her as the Real Estate agent when you look for property in the Tucson area. To top it all off she remembered my favorite restaurant and gave me a gift certificate after the deal was done.

Rita listed my house and had it sold within a month! I have nothing but good things to say about her professionalism and calm under fire. No negotiation is trouble free and I had lots of challenges on this one, but I credit her for turning what could have been deal breaking situations into a successful sale. I highly recommend her!

We could not have asked for a more knowledgeable, patient, and responsive realtor to guide us through the purchase of our first home. Rita made the process as easy as possible, and we are very happy with our new home. I highly recommend Rita to anyone looking to buy or sell in Tucson.

Great to work with. Rita is very patient and customer centric. Her guidance and advice was invaluable.

Rita helped us find the right home for us. She put immense time & energy in to assisting us locate & negotiate for our home. We especially appreciated how much Rita stayed in touch with us throughout the process. 5 stars. Exceptional client care & professionalism!

Rita listens !!! We first met Rita on the phone, as we lived out-of-state and didn’t know much about the Tucson area. She asked the questions, took our search criteria and guided us to just the right neighborhood. Rita handled the whole purchase process with professionalism and communicated with us so effectively. Without Rita’s expertise and knowledge we would not be in our home today…and we love it. Thank you so much!

Rita is terrific! As out-of-state buyers we relied heavily on Rita’s ability to recommend properties, develop offers and keep us up to date. Highly recommend Rita. She knows Tucson!!!

Rita is awesome! She goes above and beyond the call of duty. As a veteran I expect things to be done efficiently, and Rita passes muster. I couldn’t imagine having tried to buy a home without her. She was able to find a house that checked off everything on my must have list. Just a simple text to her whenever I wanted to see a house and she was all over it! Her professional opinions are priceless. Don’t bother working with anyone else!

We were first time home buyers and a little nervous to go through the process- especially since we found our perfect house so quickly! Rita walked us through every step and question we had quickly, and through text, which we loved!!! And when she was showing us houses she made sure to point out other houses in the neighborhood that could bring down the value of that home which we would have never thought about. We were also very impressed with all her recommendations for inspectors, locksmiths and chimney sweeps. If you need a realtor pick Realtor Rita- she knows it all!!
