Meet Rick

I have lived in Olympia since 1976 and I loved growing up in this great community. I graduated from Olympia HS in 1987 and began working in the hospitality industry and worked my way to management and operations in restaurants and hotels. This profession taught me a great deal in providing excellent customer service, work ethic and professionalism.

My real estate career began in 2003 and I believe I have found my profession for life. I have always had a passion for architecture and design and have realized that my background in hospitality created a hard working, honest real estate agent with exceptional customer service.

I have been married since 1995 and my wife Allison and I have two kids (Max & Sara) who also live in the area. My family and I enjoy camping, paddle boarding, biking, snow-skiing, boating and enjoying all that the great Northwest has to offer.

Hear From My Clients

"Rick is the best! We have bought and sold a number of properties over the years and no realtor we have ever worked with made a transaction easier, quicker and smoother than realtor Rick Wilson. What was equally impressive, was Rick's attentiveness. Anytime we called Rick after hours... he was always sure to call us back right away. I am so glad we found Rick! I highly recommend Rick to anyone buying or selling a home."
