Rick Turner's passion for excellence started as far back as he can remember
Local Realtor® Rick Turner has special memories of his father as a youth. . . and the utmost respect. His dad, Dick Turner, because he was already 33 years old at the start of World War II, could have easily avoided serving military duty, but instead he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps, and wound up fighting his way across the Pacific in a series of heroic island invasions.

Setting High Standards
"Growing up we knew Dad always expected us kids to do the right thing no matter what the circumstance," remembers Rick. "He also expected us to do our best in every situation." And, to this day Rick Turner abides by his father's precepts and example – going the extra mile, doing all the right things for his clients.

"Rick sets the highest standards when it comes to our listings," says selling partner Linda Rudd. "He is passionate about getting the word out about the homes and homesites we have been given the opportunity to market. We sell more because we advertise more. We find more buyers and we have statistics that show we typically get a better price for our listings because we promote them so aggressively."

Expect Exceptional Service
Rick Turner and Associates raise the bar when it comes to doing the right thing to market listings for their clients. This includes having a website where listings are promoted nationally and a data base of several thousand golf-oriented prospects interested in buying property in this area. They also mail thousands of personalized postcards each month, advertise heavily throughout this market area and maintain a presence on local TV. The Rick Turner authored special report, "Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Private Golf Club Communities", is considered the foremost document of its kind in the Bluffton/Hilton Head area. Indeed, Rick Turner and his team do expect a lot from themselves when it comes to selling your home or homesite. It therefore goes without question, that you can expect a lot as well.
