Experiencia fantástica: I conducted a remote sale of my mother's house with Heidi and it wouldn't have been possible without her frequent and quality communication skills. She faces the hard parts of selling a house head on and will work around the clock to meet expectations.
Thank you so much for the kind words! It was truly a privilege to be trusted with your mom's home, and having known your family for so many years made it even more special. Spending time with her was the best part. She's such a wonderful lady! I wanted to be sure her home went to people who would love it as much as she did, and I know the new owners will take great care of it. I'm so glad we got to do this together, even from a distance. Take care and please keep in touch!!
Experiencia fantástica: Heidi was absolutely amazing throughout our entire home-buying experience! ❤️ As first-time homebuyers, we knew absolutely nothing about the process, but Heidi explained everything thoroughly, clearly, and happily. She was always attentive to our questions and made sure we understood every step along the way. We were definitely picky and looked at around 11 houses before finally finding the one. Heidi was incredibly patient and accommodating through every single one. She drove all over with us, showed us every house we wanted to see, and never once made us feel like we were being difficult or asking too much. What really stood out to us was how much she genuinely cared about finding the right home for us, rather than just making a sale. She was knowledgeable, honest, responsive, and made what could have been a very stressful process feel so much easier. Even after we bought our house, Heidi has continued to help us and check in, which says so much about the kind of person and realtor she is. She truly went above and beyond for us from start to finish. We are SO grateful we had Heidi to help us find our first home. We genuinely couldn’t have asked for a better person to have in our corner throughout the process. ❤️✨
Jordan & Zach - Thank you both so much for this! It truly meant a lot to read. Buying your first home is a big deal, and I know it can feel overwhelming when everything about the process is new. I loved getting to know you through this process and watching you figure out what "home" really meant to you. And honestly, 11 houses is nothing. Every one of those showings got us closer to the right one, and I'd drive those miles with you all over again.
Seeing you get the keys to a place that fits you so well was the best part for me. I'm so proud of you both! Please don't ever hesitate to reach out, whether it's a question about the house, a contractor recommendation, or just to say hi. I'm always here for you. Congratulations again, and enjoy every minute in your new home! ❤️
Experiencia fantástica: Heidi is an absolute blessing to work with and more amazingly she gives her heart and soul to finding your dream house! She walks you through everything and anything. You will never have a better Realtor ever!!!!
I'm a little teary reading this! Some days this job is about contracts and paperwork, and some days it's about watching a dream come true for someone who absolutely deserves it. Yours was one of those days. It took a great team and a fabulous lender, but mostly it took you being brave enough to take that first step. I'm so proud of you and so grateful you trusted me. Enjoy every moment in your new home!
Experiencia fantástica: Made it very easy. Didn’t have to worry about anything while shopping for a home
Thank you Garrett! Making the home search feel easy (not stressful) is exactly the goal, so this made my day. It was a pleasure helping you find your place, and I'm just a call away if you ever need anything down the road.
Experiencia fantástica: Rick is a top-notch realtor! Very helpful and goes the extra mile to make sure the deal is right for you. I would recommend him any day.
Thank you so much, Patricia! It was a genuine pleasure working with you, and I'm glad the process felt like it was truly in your corner. Getting the deal right matters more to me than getting it done fast. Wishing you all the best, and don't hesitate to reach out anytime.

Experiencia fantástica: I was very please with Rick's local knowledge and experience. We bought our new summer home thanks to his prompt actions and patience with our long distance search. Highly recommend him.
Wade, this means a lot. Thank you! Helping out-of-state buyers find the right place up here is one of my favorite parts of this job, and I appreciate your trust. Northern Wisconsin summers are hard to beat, and you picked a great spot for them. Congratulations, and enjoy your Brule River property!
Rick Gruebele, Visions First Realty
Experiencia fantástica: Rick really put in tye extra mile from looking at businesses to changing to looking for a house. He may have thought some of the places I wanted to see were crazy, they were, but we finally found our goldilocks house!
Heather, thank you so much for the kind words! I have to say this was one of the most adventurous searches I have been a part of, from businesses to commercial buildings to some truly memorable houses! But that is exactly what I love about this work, every client's experience is unique and finding that perfect Goldilocks home makes it all worth it. Congratulations again on your new home in Ashland, it was a pleasure working with you and I wish you all the best in your new adventure on the South Shore!
Experiencia fantástica: Rick Gruebele successfully found buyers for two properties in Washburn. Rick has been wonderful to work with! He is knowledgeable, patient and an excellent communicator. He kept me up to date with showings and responses. He was patient answering my questions and was helpful directing me when I didn't know how to proceed. I highly recommend Rick Gruebele of Visions First as your realtor. He takes great care of his clients!
Barb, this is very kind, thank you! Selling two properties in Washburn took some patience on your end too, and I appreciated how easy you were to work with throughout. Communication is the part of this job I care most about, so hearing that from you means a great deal. Wishing you all the best, and reach out anytime!
Rick Gruebele, Visions First Realty
Experiencia fantástica: We had a great experience working with Rick and Visions First Realty. He was very knowledgeable, professional and responsive to our many questions ensuring a smooth process. We highly recommend Visions First to anyone looking for a trusted and skilled real estate agent.
Thank you, William! It was a pleasure working with you both on the condo purchase. Questions are always welcome here. We'd rather answer one more than have a client sign something they aren't fully sure about, so never hesitate to ask. And thank you for the recommendation. That carries real weight for a small local real estate firm. Enjoy the new place, and reach out anytime.
Rick Gruebele, Visions First Realty
Experiencia fantástica: Rick and Visions First were AMAZING to work with when selling our building. It was a tough nut to crack and Rick stuck with us with patience, creativity, and unending support. We appreciate him so much and would highly recommend.
Experiencia fantástica: Heidi was AMAZING to work with!!!!!!
Thank you so much Lindsey! So glad this one worked out for you both! Watching you find your spot on the water made the whole deal feel special. Go enjoy every minute of it, and can't wait to hear about all the summers to come!
Experiencia fantástica: Rick always followed through on requested information or needs. He was honest and upfront about our negotiations with seller making our decisions easier to make.
Thank you for the kind words, Catherine! It was a pleasure working with you and making sure you had everything you needed to make confident decisions throughout the process. That's exactly how real estate should work, honest, straightforward, and always following through.
And yes! Washburn is getting the Egg Roll Chick, and we couldn't be more excited! Welcome to the community! And as always, my door is open if you ever need anything.

Experiencia fantástica: We worked with Rick Gruebele to purchase a cabin in Cornucopia. He was awesome to work with. He was very responsive, engaging and helpful throughout the entire process.
Thank you for the kind review and congratulations on your vacation home! Cornucopia is a gem of the South Shore, and finding a cabin with an artesian well- that's something special. Those don't come along every day up here in Northern Wisconsin! It was great getting to know you through the process, and I'm so happy it all came together.
Wishing you years of incredible memories at the cabin. My door is always open!

Experiencia fantástica: Rick Gruebele was thoughtful, knowledgeable and accessible to us at every step of the process. He responded quickly and thoroughly to all our questions. We had an unusual property in that it was a church parsonage with quite a bit of community history; Rick was sensitive to our special needs and also to the folks in the community with a childhood connection to the property, and helped us let folks "say goodbye" to this special place. Rick is a skilled professional with a heart for integrity and community. It was a pleasure working with him!
Pastor Teena, thank you for the kind words. That parsonage was a unique property with a lot of history behind it, and I appreciated being able to help honor that. It was a pleasure working with you and the WUMC Council. Take care, and don't hesitate to reach out if you ever need anything. With Blessings.
Rick Gruebele, Visions First Realty
Experiencia fantástica: Working with Heidi was great! I was a first time home buyer and she was fantastic! She was always quick to respond to any questions I had, was down to look at as many houses as I wanted to, and was informative on the process! She was wonderful and I would highly recommend her if you are looking to purchase a home!
Thank you so much Mandy! Helping first-time buyers is one of my favorite parts of this job, and getting to be part of your home-buying journey meant a lot to me. I'm so glad I could help answer your questions and that we found the right home together (even if it took looking at a few houses to get there!). Wishing you so much happiness in your new home — congratulations again, and thank you for trusting me with such a big milestone!
Experiencia fantástica: Working with Rick throughout the purchase of our new home was an excellent experience from start to finish. He was conscientious, informative, and genuinely helpful every step of the way. Rick consistently went above and beyond to ensure we felt informed and confident during the entire process. One thing that especially stood out was his level of care and attention. When a storm moved through the area of our new home, Rick personally checked on the property and promptly let us know that it had avoided the worst of the storm. That kind of thoughtfulness and dedication gave us tremendous peace of mind. Rick was also incredibly proactive. He took the initiative to find answers to questions we hadn’t even thought to ask, making sure no detail was overlooked. His professionalism, responsiveness, and commitment to his clients truly set him apart. We are very grateful for his guidance and would highly recommend Rick to anyone looking to buy or sell a home.
Wayne, thank you so much for the kind words — this truly made my day. Helping you and your family find your new home was a real pleasure, and I'm grateful you placed your trust in me. Everything you mentioned — being proactive, attentive, responsive, and looking out for the property even after the storm is exactly what my C2EX endorsement through NAR is built on. That Commitment to Excellence isn't just a credential; it's how I show up for every client. Thank you again, and please don't hesitate to reach out anytime!

Experiencia fantástica: Visions First Realty was a Real estate company that had our backs through out the purchasing process. Being from out of state we had to use someone we could trust. Rick helped us out till the day we closed. Even after the closing process Rick did not hesitate to help us out with any questions about the property, local contractors, and even fishing spots! Great experience!
Ted, thank you so much for taking the time to share this. Trusting a real estate team from out of state is a big leap of faith, and I'm so grateful you and Lisa placed that trust in me and Visions First Realty. I truly enjoyed working with you both from the first conversation all the way through closing, and beyond. Helping clients settle in, pointing them toward a good contractor, or sharing a favorite fishing spot is honestly one of the best parts of the job. Welcome to the area, and please know I'm always just a phone call away whenever you need me! And those oranges? Fantastic — thank you!
Rick Gruebele,
Visions First Realty.
Experiencia fantástica: Rick was wonderful! We truly felt like he dropped everything to help sell our house. We were in a hurry to sell in order to get our new home. Rick is a great guy and will go out of his way to help. Even our puppy loved him!
Sara — thank you so much! It was genuinely a pleasure working with you and Neil to get your home sold and get you into your new place. You had a timeline and we made it work — that is exactly what we are here for.
And for the record, Aspen's approval means just as much as yours.
Wishing you, Neil, and Aspen many happy years in your new home!

Experiencia fantástica: My husband and I worked with Rick Gruebele. Rick was very nice, helpful, knowledgeable and patient with us through the whole home buying process. We would definitely recommend Rick to our family and friends.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick was an absolute pleasure to work with and the best realtor we’ve ever had! From our very first conversation, he listened carefully to exactly what we wanted and never pushed us toward anything that didn’t fit. He was incredibly responsive (texts answered at all hours), gave honest and straightforward advice, and somehow managed to find us the perfect home in a very competitive market. His negotiation skills saved us thousands, and he guided us smoothly through every step of the process with zero stress. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable, genuine, and truly client-focused—Rick is your guy. 5 stars aren’t enough!”
Kevin, Thank you for the review and comments. It is comments as such that makes Visions First Realty a success.
Experiencia fantástica: I was appointed as the personal representative (executor) of my brother-in-law's estate. We had the decedent's home to sell. We retained the services of Rick and his company to sell that home. I am located over 350 miles from the property, which made my personal resources limited. Rick went above and beyond of what I would expect a realtor to do. He found person and companies which could do the work I needed. Unfortunately for Rick, I won't have any further use for his services as the distance prohibits that. I would very highly recommend him as he is very ethical and goes above and beyond what I would expect. I have dealt with over 30 real estate sales in the past, so I am familiar with what to expect from the services of a realtor. Thank you Rick.
Chris, thank you so much for this thoughtful review.
Helping you navigate your brother-in-law's estate from 350+ miles away was truly a team effort, and I'm glad I could connect you with the local resources and contractors you needed to get everything done. That's one of the benefits of being deeply rooted in this community - I know who does great work and who will treat out-of-area clients right.
Your words mean a great deal, especially coming from someone who's been through 30+ real estate transactions. You know what to expect from a realtor, and you know when someone goes the extra mile. That means a lot to me.
While the distance means we probably won't work together again, I genuinely appreciated getting to know you through this process and I'm glad I could help make things easier for you.
If you ever know of anyone in northern Wisconsin who needs real estate help - or if anything comes up in the future - please don't hesitate to reach out.
All the best to you and your family,
Rick Gruebele

Experiencia fantástica: I had a fantastic experience working with Rick. He was so patient and thoughtful through every step and even after when I needed help with things at my new house. Rick is incredibly knowledgeable about the areas he works in. I feel like he makes it his business to know the town and businesses that can support you in the town he shows you. If you are looking for a house in the north woods I would definitely recommend Rick Gruebele with Visions First Realty.
Thank you so much for these kind words! Working with you was truly a pleasure, and I'm just so happy that you found the perfect place in the north woods.
Helping you settle in and feel connected to the community has been the best part of this whole experience. That's really what it's all about for me – not just finding you a house, but making sure you feel at home in your new town.
I hope everything is going great at the new place! You know where to find me if you ever need anything – whether it's a recommendation for a good plumber or just someone to grab coffee with.
Thanks again for trusting me with such an important decision. Enjoy your new home!
All the best,
Rick Gruebele

Experiencia fantástica: Heidi has been so amazing during the whole process. As a first time home buyer, and not having a ton of family who has owned homes, this process was all new. She was incredibly attentive, supportive, knowledgeable, and kind. She made the process feel smooth, and it felt like I was working with a family member. I couldn’t have asked for anyone better, and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking to buy a home. She goes above and beyond, if I could give more than 5 stars I would, because she deserves it! She is an amazing person, and an even better realtor :)
Oh my goodness, you're going to make me cry! Thank you so much for these beautiful words – they truly mean more to me than you know.
Being part of your first home buying journey has been such a special experience. I remember how nervous you were at the beginning, and getting to watch your confidence grow was incredible. You worked so hard to get to this moment, and I'm just so proud of you! Knowing I could help make this huge milestone feel less scary and more exciting – that's exactly why I love what I do.
Your new home is lucky to have you! Please keep in touch – I genuinely want to hear how you're settling in. And of course, if you ever need anything at all, I'm just a call or text away.
Thank you for trusting me with something so important. You made this journey just as special for me.
All my best,
Heidi
Experiencia fantástica: Rick was an excellent agent for my spouse and my first home purchase. He was able to find us a new lender during the government shutdown and we were able to close on the mortgage sooner than I had expected.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick Gruebele was a pleasure to work with on the sale of both my son and my moms home this summer. Both transactions were difficult for my family, but he helped us through both with alot of understanding and communication! Thank you Rick!!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! It truly means the world to me to know that I could help make what were undoubtedly challenging transitions a little easier for you and your family. Selling family homes, especially under unexpected and difficult circumstances, is never just about the transaction - it's about understanding the emotions involved.
I'm grateful that my communication and support made a difference during this time. Helping families navigate these important moments is exactly why I love what I do.
Wishing you and your family all the best as you move forward. Thank you again for your trust and for this wonderful review!
Best regards,

Experiencia fantástica: Vision First Realty: ⸻ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ As a first-time homebuyer with a complex loan, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than working with Vision First Realty. Buying a home for the first time felt overwhelming at first, but their team made the entire process smooth, clear, and stress-free. They were incredibly patient, answered all my questions, and went above and beyond to make sure I understood every step. What impressed me most was how they navigated the challenges of my loan situation with professionalism and determination. Instead of making me feel like it was “too complicated,” they worked hard to find solutions and made me feel supported the whole way through. Thanks to their knowledge, communication, and dedication, I was able to purchase my first home with confidence. I’m so grateful for their guidance and highly recommend Vision First Realty to anyone looking to buy or sell—especially first-time buyers who need a team that truly cares.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! At Vision First Realty, nothing makes us happier than helping first-time homebuyers successfully navigate what can feel like an overwhelming process.

Experiencia fantástica: Heidi was so helpfull with finding me my forever home .she's now like family.
Thank you Tyrel for the thoughtful review. Im so happy we found you the perfect place where you can start making many memories! Keep in touch my friend and reach out if you need anything!
Experiencia fantástica: Rick Gruebele puts partnership ahead of profit. I had more than a little trepidation at the prospect of finding a reputable realtor from 350 miles away. I found Rick through the Iron River Chamber of Commerce. Three realtors called me back within hours of my reaching out, but he was the only one who first asked specifics of what I was looking for in a property, rather than trying to impress me with his skills and abilities. I believe Rick's experience, efficiency and intuition accelerated the search/purchase process which, from first visit to closing took 2 weeks and 1 day. He was always timely (minutes to a few hours) responding to phone, email, and texts. He is well-connected with area businesses and helped me locate everything from restaurants to builders and surveyors. He is genuinely friendly, likes people, and treated me like a good neighbor. His honesty and integrity steered me away from potential pitfalls. There was never a doubt about trust or that the customer came first. We worked well together. The result is a speedy acquisition of exactly the property I hoped to find. Rick made my vision a reality. Heartfelt thanks, Rick. Job well done!
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience, Claudeen! Your kind words truly mean the world to me and capture exactly what I strive for in every client relationship.
I'm also grateful you mentioned finding me through the Iron River Chamber of Commerce - they're such a valuable resource for connecting people with trusted local professionals, and I'm honored to be part of that network.
I'm thrilled that we were able to find you the perfect property so quickly - from that first conversation where we talked about your specific needs to closing in just over two weeks. That efficiency came from really listening to what you wanted and focusing our search accordingly.
It sounds like the long-distance aspect worked out seamlessly, and I'm glad my connections in the area helped you get settled with all the local resources you needed. Building those relationships with contractors, surveyors, and other professionals over the years really pays off for my clients.
Your comment about "partnership ahead of profit" really resonates with me - that's exactly the approach I believe in. When I put your needs first and work as your advocate, the best outcomes naturally follow.
I'm so happy we made your vision a reality and hope you enjoy your land parcel I can’t wait to see the final project complete. Thank you for choosing Visions First Realty, and please don't hesitate to reach out if you need anything as you get established. It was truly a pleasure working with you!
Best regards,

Experiencia fantástica: Had the pleasure working with Rick on selling my house. He was honest and upfront with things he pointed out when he came to take pictures of my home. I literally had my house listed on the market less than 48 hours and Rick had it sold with a cash offer I couldn't pass up. Not only that, Rick was at a banquet and still worked while at the banquet to get the paperwork to me. I would definitely recommend Vision First Reality for listing or buying your next home! The process was smooth sailing and stress free! Thanks Rick and Heidi too!
Thank you so much for this amazing review! It truly means the world to me to hear that I was able to make your home selling experience smooth and stress-free.

Experiencia fantástica: My family has a very difficult set of needs when it comes to looking for a house. There are a lot of us, which in turn means a lot of opinions, a lot of needs, and wants to be heard and met. Rick Gruebele did a fantastic job at scheduling and touring homes even though we ultimately didn’t find anything and had to re-assess our situation. We threw a lot at him and he took it better than most. It was a fantastic experience and people need to know the level of care and devotion he puts into your house search. Highly suggest using him.

Experiencia fantástica: Rick G was an awesome realtor to work with. As first time home buyers, the entire process of house hunting or buying a home was brand new to us. We had no idea what to expect or how things should go. Rick made it a really easy, quick process for us. He was always quick to answer our texts and calls, always jumped on getting showings set up as soon as we requested them, and was always there to offer us advice when we asked for it. He never tried to push any homes on us, he told us at our first meeting that ‘he doesn’t sell houses, he lets houses sell themselves’ and he was not lying. Rick had no complaints driving to and from Washburn to Superior area, sometimes multiple times a week, to meet us for showings. He was also just as excited as we were everytime and hopeful that we’d find the one. When we finally did find the right home, Rick was very quick to submit our offer and helped us secure a fast, problem free close on the perfect forever home for our young family. He even helped try to keep our toddler entertained during closing. Highly recommend Rick to anyone in the market for a home, especially first time home owners who may need someone to talk them through the process. Rick made this as easy and stress free as buying a home can be!
Felicity and Beau,
Thank you both for the kind and thoughtful comments. We at Visions First Realty are so happy for you and wish you and your family well in your new "Home".

Experiencia fantástica: I can’t say enough when it comes to the owner of visions first realty, Rick is the definition of a professional real estate agent. He is very knowledgeable, compassionate, understanding, prompt, honest, and trustworthy. Ricks commitment to excellence is second to none, he puts his clients first, and paves the path for a smooth transaction. Rick sold our property for us, it was our first time selling. He went above and beyond for us knowing that we would have lots of questions and learning throughout the process. Rick listed our property, and approximately 45 days later we had an accepted offer, from there we closed in approximately 30 days. I would 10/10 highly recommend buying or selling through Rick Gruebele at visions first realty.

Although you were located states away, we were able to communicate and take care of business as you were right here in Washburn.
I appreciate you being such wonderful clients to work with and wish you and your family the very best. I look forward to working with you and your family on your future real estate needs.
