Ricardo sold my house in 1 day! A seller’s dream! Ricardo efforts were vital to this success. This would not have happened without Ricardo’s tireless efforts in assisting me to prepare the home for sale and his expertise during the negotiation process. Prior to the listing date… -Ricardo and I discussed what home improvements made sense considering their return on investment. For instance, I suggested that I replace all kitchen appliances at a substantial cost, however, Ricardo wisely discouraged this idea. The selections I would have made would not be the same as the buyers. By adjusting the selling price accordingly, the buyer has flexibility in deciding what appliances fit their needs. -Ricardo helped me navigate all legal documents including the property disclosure and the listing contract. He made the process smooth and worry-free. On the listing date, Ricardo was in constant contact with me as several offers were considered. With my best interests at heart, he professionally negotiated with potential buyers and their realtors to obtain an accepted offer well above my listing price. I highly recommend Ricardo to anyone looking to buy or sell a home. The right realtor makes all the difference- you can’t go wrong with Ricardo on your team.

He was a very excellent realtor, when I went with him on several properties he was very patient and he was looking through all information for the property for me. I found a great investment property. On my second property he even found a great inspector for me, that caught a lot of things that I did not see and had the seller fixed those things before I purchased it. He is truly trying to look after you, your property, and get the best things out of your Investments or your home. he is looking out for your best interest. I highly recommend him. He is a believer In Jesus Christ and to me is something I did not consider to see when he poured so many hours into the home, when I ask why? His reply was "I don't see you as a client I see you as a friend as well." If you want someone to look like you or talk as you do, there out there but do they have a heart like Jesus. Thank you again Recrodo for your hard work and your friendship. God Bless you 🙏

Hi, I’m Ricardo Etienne.

I’m a local real estate agent serving Cedar Rapids and surrounding communities. My approach to real estate is simple: listen first, give honest guidance, and help people make confident decisions—at their own pace.

Many of my clients come from relationships built through church, family, and community, which means trust matters more to me than transactions. Whether you’re thinking about buying, selling, or just have questions about the market, I’m here as a resource—not a salesperson.

I believe real estate is not just about homes, but about stewardship, timing, and making wise choices for the next season of life. When you’re ready, I’d be honored to help you take the next step.
