Testimonials

Jan & Jim Litrun

During the course of our marriage, we have purchased 6 homes. By far, working with Rick & Ginger Swanger was the most pleasant experience we have had. In fact, this purchase was probably our most difficult, from the Florida Keys to Central Pennsylvania, and would not have been possible without their experience, empathy, and perseverance. Right form the start, we were absolutely delighted with the care, attention, and time they devoted to us. They were constantly in communication with us during the purchase process, updating us on progress and looking for creative solutions to finalize this difficult negotiation. Their experience and innovative approach were invaluable in making the purchase possible. They went above and beyond. After their success with the negotiation, their helpfulness in making our relocation as smooth as possible continued with recommendations and referrals to the services and professionals we required. Our relationship has continued through the years and we are pleased to still call them good friends. We have never met another realtor of their caliber. Be assured, next time we or anyone we know is in need of a top notch realtor, Rick & Ginger will be first on our list.

Jean & Jerry Dames

We have been well-served by Rick & Ginger Swanger since buying our first rental property from them ten years ago in State College. They owned several rental units at the time and were very helpful in advising us about many things that 'first time landlords' might have overlooked. Since then, as we are not residents of State College, Rick has served as our 'local person' whenever we need to show the house to new tenants, or let a contractor in for repairs. He has advised us on people to help with remodeling, maintenance and lawn service. Ginger has kept us appraised of the increasing value of our investment, and recently completed a full appraisal with comps for us when we completed some remodeling and were considering selling. In short, these two have earned our loyalty with their free, expert advice and help over the past 10 years. We wouldn't think of dealing with any other real estate agents in State College!

Larry Ross & Frances Kasubick

We recently sold two houses and bought a new one with Rick & Ginger Swanger as our realtors. Before we were married, Larry had also purchased a house 3 years ago with their help. We have been totally happy with their exceptional service. They go above and beyond whatever could be expected. They are always congenial, patient, thorough, and efficient. They make the experience pleasant and informative while putting their clients first. We totally recommend them as real estate agents and as good people. When looking for help to find a house, they would always be our first choice.

Margalit Goldschmidt & Dave Corbin

We had a fantastic experience working with Rick and Ginger! They sold our home very quickly (and during a global pandemic, nonetheless!), were really patient with us and took us to see many properties, were always available and easy to get in touch with, and made the entire process of selling our old home and bidding on a new home as stress-less as possible. They are detail-oriented, hard workers, and we felt that they had our best interests at heart. They went above and beyond for us, and we would highly recommend them. Thank you, Rick and Ginger!

Abbie Swoboda

Working with Rick & Ginger Swanger was a wonderful experience! My husband & I worked with them to purchase a home in State College, PA while we were living out of state. We came to State College for a few days over Thanksgiving to see homes & had specific requirements of what we were looking for. Rick & Ginger worked extremely hard to schedule several showings for us while we were in town. Our seemingly perfect home was listed on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and Rick & Ginger quickly contacted the seller’s agent to book a showing for us. We fell in love with the home and Rick & Ginger guided us through the negotiations process to successfully submit an accepted offer the next day! Rick & Ginger supported our every question throughout the home buying process and helped to coordinate inspection, appraisal & closing while we were still living long-distance. After we closed on the home & moved in, Rick & Ginger continue to be there for us to answer any questions we may have. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of selling or buying a home to work with Rick & Ginger Swanger. They are an incredible team!!

Mel & Ellen

We were living in California at the time and needed to purchase a home in State College. We had two weeks in State College to find a home. We knew little of the area, but knew what type of home we were looking for. We had a real estate agent lined up to meet with us that was highly recommended but once here she could never find the time to meet. We had only a few days remaining on our trip when we called Rick and Ginger, picked at random, to help us. Boy, are we happy we did!!! Rick and Ginger understood what we wanted exactly. They showed us properties that were in our price range, perfect locations, quality homes and more. In the end, we decided to build and they found us a gorgeous lot with not only beautiful views, but a builder, too. Rick and Ginger are extremely experienced, knowledgeable and professional in real estate. They are also a heck of a lot of fun to be with! They will always be the real estate agents that we highly recommend.
