Valparaiso has been my home since graduating from Valparaiso University in 1985. I opened Take 1 Video right out of college and became a Realtor in 1993. Customer service has been my passion my entire working life. As a result, I have served thousands of clients along the way.
My wife and I enjoyed raising our two children here with all of the amenities Valparaiso has to offer. Northwest Indiana is our home for many reasons. It should be yours too.
Whether you are buying or selling a home, my unique blend of local experience gives you a broader perspective and gets the job done smoothly. I make sure my clients get unsurpassed service and attention. That is why a large percentage of my business comes via referrals from past clients. New relationships begin everyday. I look forward to working with you soon!
As an agent who's an expert in our local area, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise about buying and selling real estate in Northwest Indiana. It's not the same everywhere, so you need someone you can trust for up-to-date information. I am eager to serve you.
He was on point through out the sale of my mother's home.
Rick Lahey of Coldwell Banker did an outstanding job listing our home. He and his team created a truly impressive marketing brochure with a spot‑on description that captured our property perfectly. Rick’s commitment to being known, liked, and trusted was evident throughout the entire process. He consistently demonstrated that our best interests were his priority. If the opportunity ever arises, we would gladly work with him again—without hesitation. Thank you, Rick Lahey and Coldwell Banker.
I was selling a house in Valpo, where I don't live and Rick Lahey was so helpful in walking me through the process remotely. His communication was prompt and thorough, and I always knew what step was happening next. When I didn't understand something, he was very patient to answer my questions. I'm thankful that he was my realtor, and I highly recommend Rick!
Rick is the consummate professional. He is meticulous about all of the paperwork from your offer to the closing so you never have to wonder if everything is on track . He stays in touch throughout the process and is readily available to answer questions and address concerns if and when they arise. Rick has helped us to purchase several properties and we would recommend him highly to anyone buying or selling in the Northwest Indiana market.
