Austin handled the selling of our property very quickly with great communication the entire time. He handled all of the negotiation with a very difficult buyer taking all of the stress off of us.

Austin was amazing! He guided us realistically through the whole listing process of our beautiful home, and insured we had realistic goals.

We recently worked with Austin Rich on the sale of a home and had a very positive experience. From the beginning, Austin was knowledgeable, straightforward, and easy to work with. He took the time to walk through the property, review comparable homes in the area, and explain where he believed the house should be priced based on the market. His recommendation actually came in higher than what we originally expected, but he was confident in the analysis and the outcome proved he was right.
What we appreciated most was Austin’s communication and professionalism throughout the process. He followed up when needed, kept things moving, and handled the transaction in a fair and honest manner.
We would absolutely recommend reaching out to Austin if you are considering buying or selling a home. We plan to work with him again in the future and highly recommend Austin Rich and NextHome Elite Real Estate.

Austin is the best in the biz. He communicates the perfect amount, he explains things so thoroughly, and he truly listens to the clients needs and wants. I have bought and sold homes with Austin and it’s always a great deal for me. He makes sure you don’t settle and everyone gets a fair benefit from the transaction. You can tell he is a man of integrity who really puts people first over the sale of a home. I have recommended him to all of my friends and will continue to do so.

Professional, smart, people person, great negotiating skills are all qualities I would use to describe Austin. He is the type of person that makes you feel like you've known him for 20 years after talking to him for 5 minutes. He's with you at the start of the transaction until after the deal is over. I see many deals as the owner of Muncie's largest title company and all of his clients love him. Great person and excellent realtor! Can't give a higher recommendation.

I can't say enough about Austin and his group of professionals! My home was listed for two weeks and sold. Austin went above and beyond the role of realtor....he even went to check my home and check the pipes during some cold nights, when I was out of town.
He followed up on all my questions and concerns. Such a positive experience!! I'd recommend this company to anyone who is planning on selling their home!

We hired Austin Rich, of NextHome Real Estate, to sell our family home of which we had lived in for 44 years. Not having any experience in selling property, we looked at realators in the Muncie area. Everyone we spoke to highly recommended Austin.
Austin went above and beyond to make our experience as pleasent as possible. The house sold in a week!
We encountered bumps in the road, but Austin kept us confident that the sale would be completed. Austin even put some of his own money into the price to make sure the sale crossed the finish line.
Austin is energentic, personable, positive, knowledgable and a good man. We would never sell another house without his picture in the front yard!
