Richard and I have been friends for a long time. One never knows how a friendship and a professional relationship will mix. Richard was the perfect realtor for me. He was very attentive to details and gave me reminders (daily at times) to stay on track. I downsized from a family home to an empty nester home. He was appropriately sensitive and supportive. We ran into some hiccups at the end through no fault of his. My closing got delayed due to being self employed. Richard confidently and efficiently fixed these issues! I cannot say enough about how great Richard is as a realtor!

If you're looking for a realtor who has your best interest at heart, Richard Rackley is who you want. On several occasions he passed on what could have been fast profits to ensure we were aware with certain aspects like a home's backyard being in a flood zone. Richard's no pressure approach guided us through the process of landing our dream home and even helped negotiate necessary repairs that were not apparent at first sight. His knowledge, availability, and outstanding communication leave little to be desired. He is definitely someone you want on your team. We will absolutely reach out to him for any future real estate ventures and refer him to anyone in need.

I got to work with Richard on a house sale that unfortunately didn't go through (that is to say, we were having difficulty selling to a private party, and reached out to Richard to help us put it on the market if the private party fell through). Well, the private party came through at the last minute, meaning that Richard didn't get to participate in the sale. However, I must say that I was extremely impressed with Richard's time and attention to our matter, even knowing it had the possibility of falling through as far as he was concerned. He contacted me immediately, then set up a Zoom meeting to discuss the particulars of our situation. He kept in touch via text message, and handled everything electronically, meaning we had no delays in getting information. I gave him five stars on value because the commission rate he would have charged if the sale had gone through was totally fair, especially given the amount of work he put in. I would heartily recommend Richard to anyone buying or selling a home in the Knoxville region.

We had a great experience with Richard and Weichert.
To begin with, we interviewed several realtors and Richard was the only person that came prepared to listen our questions and concerns and take thorough notes. He later returned with a very thorough and professional presentation that included all of the information from his notes. We discussed advantages and disadvantages of several listing price points.
Richard also writes his own listing description based on his initial meeting and walkaround of the home. This is becoming more rare as some realtors are turning that task over to AI. Many neighbors in our community commented that they were very impressed with the write-up that had a clear personal touch no AI system can match.
Richard and Weichert did a great job of marketing the house with professional photos, a 3-d walkthrough and marketing material for potential buyers. Richard and his Weichert colleagues ensured our house received maximum exposure through many open-houses which proved to be crucial in the sale of our home as that's what really ended up driving potential buyer traffic. On a few occasions, they did open-houses on Saturday and Sunday.
Due to the rapid increase in interest rates, there has been a slight downturn in the market for houses in our price range so it took a few adjustments to generate serious interest. Those price reductions were 100% our idea and Richard never pressured us to reduce the price. Once we had an offer Richard made sure to follow up with other agents whose clients had expressed interest our home and ultimately, one of those clients led to an offer we accepted.
Throughout the process, there were no issues with communication as Richard answered email, texts, and phone calls in a timely manner.
Overall, we are very happy with our experience with Richard and Weichert and would highly recommend putting him on your list of realtors you interview before putting your house for sale.
