What People Are Saying
In the summer of 2024, my wife and I began in earnest the process of selecting a real estate company to sell our home in Gloucester, MA. We settled on Century 21 and chose the company and the agent that had handled the purchase of this property some fourteen years earlier. At the forefront of the many initial decisions that had to be made was the selection of the lawyer who would represent our side of the transaction and guide us through the myriad of important and complicated decisions that were before us. Our contact with the legal profession was very limited and we asked our agent for a recommendation. Not a moment's hesitation separated our question from her recommendation. Rick Carter would be our lawyer. And his name was followed by something akin to a curriculum vita with all manner of high accolades and personal reflections, both documentable and anecdotal. Apart from our agent’s rehearsal of her long history with Rick and his competence and professionalism, she concluded her comments with the surprising statement, “and he is a really nice guy.” Apart from our limited experience, both first and second-handed with members of the legal profession, we had never heard this credential of a lawyer being described as a "nice guy.” Adjectives like “competent" and “professional" we had heard but not this one. After a summer of interacting with Rick Carter, the three best characterizations of him as an attorney were his competence, professionalism and his personal quality as a “nice person.” From initial phone call to the closing on the house, Rick was everything he was reported to be. And though the margins of difference are slim in the extreme, I would probably reverse the order of these three. Further, I would be remiss if I didn’t add timeliness in the completion of the myriad of important and incremental tasks that accompany the sale of a home.
Rick made the selling process from start to finish exceptionally clear in our first telephone conversation. And, as with every other conversation with our endless and often repetitious inquiries, what was said and explained on the phone was followed-up in writing. A seller simply could not fail to understand instructions and responsibilities if attentive to this lawyer's emails. Let’s add the attribute of patience to the list of Rick’s demonstrated qualities. There is another character trait that comes to mind in this context. Like the people of Aroostock County in northern Maine where we were about to relocate, Rick has a “get it done in timely fashion” and “nothing is impossible” attitude. Without providing the details, we presented Rick with a very challenging problem regarding the processing of the check for this transaction in a certain time and way. To allay our concerns, he committed to resolving the problem in a way that likely involved a fair amount of extra time and travel on his part. Surprisingly, the extra effort didn’t raise the cost of his services. Generosity is another quality that has characterized our interactions with him. Apparently, he doesn’t work with a clock that determines charge for services in increments of fifteen minutes.
Though more could be said about this lawyer and his firm (apparently clients don’t deal with underlings; no hint of impatience or condescension with stupid questions or failure to prosecute directions or responsibilities among others), this evaluation and recommendation should communicate that, by all appearances, Rick Carter is a lawyer cut from a different bolt of fabric. He is everything clients want their lawyer to be and more. After the closing and with the completion of all the responsibilities for which he was paid a truly reasonably amount, I received two more emails from him. Both of them offered congratulations on the sale of our house and best wishes that we would soon would enjoy our new home in the far north. We end where we began. Rick Carter is a great lawyer but, even more, he really is a nice guy.
