One evening at Beachside Café in Santa Barbara, over the sundowner special—salmon, buttery garlic mashed potatoes, and asparagus—our family watched the sun dip into the Pacific before heading to watch UCSB face Pepperdine in volleyball. In that quiet moment, a simple question was asked: What should we name this new real estate company?
For my dad, my greatest teacher in “winning the day”—
Gary Colson (NCAA Hall of Fame Coach), and his longtime friend Jerry West ( NBA logo). They were my
mentors who, for over 50 years, reinforced the principles behind great leadership, discipline, and winning the day.

Rick is an AMAZING Realtor. We have done dozens of transactions together and Rick is a person you can trust. He is ethical, knowledgeable and a super hard worker. We have worked on all sorts of transactions together, from short sales, to investment properties, to the luxury market. He really knows all facets of the business. I highly recommend Rick, to get you the results you are looking for.
Aubrey F. Laguna Beach, Ca Rick Rick Rick. Where do I even start? He's one of a kind. He was patient with us, listened to what we wanted, and found us everything he could! There was never any pressure from him. After working with him for one day, he knew what I would love or what I disliked about a home within minutes of us walking in to a showing, without me saying a word. He was quick yet thorough. If only there were more people like him around!!! We were also working with a cramped schedule, only being in town for two short days. He got us in to every single home we wanted to see AND it was a holiday weekend. We were also working on " toddler" time as we had our little boy with us while viewing homes. Rick was great. He included our child when he could tell he was getting bored, and he was a no BS guy yet very respectful. He didn't waste a minute of our time! Thank you Rick!!

I had the pleasure of working with Rick Colson on a recent transaction that I was presenting the buyers. Rick is a very charming person that wants to resolve everything to the best interest of both parties. He is a great team player and makes the whole transaction a pleasant experience, I have been in business for over 14 years to this date and there are not that many professionals in our industry that will make the transaction a great experience, majority of them will make it hell. But Rick Colson is among the a few professionals that was a pleasure to work with, Thank you Rick for a smooth transaction.

I have encountered many Real Estate brokers in my time, some good and some not so good, so hiring Rick to sell my home in Monarch Bay pushed the envelope further in so many ways, and all of them are good! His upbeat attitude is not forced, but a genuine reflection of his outlook on life, and his willingness to help me improve, clean & present the home in the best light, was over & above what I had expected. He had many ideas about the custom marketing of the property and employed an excellent photographer and even a drone for those eye-in-the-sky shots of my home. We had many open discussions on the pros & cons of various tactics, some of which were very intense, but through it all we maintained a great working relationship, which culminated in the sale of my home. Rick is passionate about his profession and has many fresh & interesting ideas on how to achieve set goals, so if you are looking for someone to represent you either selling or buying property, especially in the So County Coastal area, you would be hard-pressed to find someone better than Rick Colson, alias ‘Rick the Realtor’.
