I have bought and sold property in 4 states and Rory is by far the best agent I have ever worked with. His commitment to ensuring my interests were fairly represented was clear throughout the process. His knowledge of the local market was top notch. He definitely went the extra mile to ensure everything went well. Rory Veal is a 10 out of 10.

We have worked with Rory on both purchasing a beach home as well as selling our residence in Redmond WA. Rory was knowledgeable and accessible from the very start. He was patient and understanding when we needed it. He understood our questions and angst and strategized all aspects of the sale: staging, photography, list date, showings, etc. Rory was always in contact with us keeping us apprised of options. Couldn't recommend him enough!

You only want Rory helping you find or selling your house. From start to finish, he found things the sellers were hiding, saved us so much money when he signed for the loan, after uncovering missed details. He explained things to us so I could understand, personally drove us out to the house 4 different times, answered his phone when ever we called , or at least got back to us in less then an hour. He knows so much about this business, knows what to look for and how to talk to the other parties. He makes it look easy.

I used Rory to list my condominium for sale. He did an excellent job and I was very happy with his services. He understands that selling a property can be very stressful and does everything he can to make it easy. I would definitely use him again and recommend him to anyone else looking to sell their home.

Rory is not just an agent. For many years he was an award winning residential builder. He really understands both the legal and structural issues of buying and selling a house. In addition, he is extremely detail oriented which means he reads the long boring documents necessary in real estate transactions, then summarizes the key issues for the buyer or seller. Most importantly his ethics are above question, i.e. no funny stuff which, in the end, means you can sleep nights knowing there will be no unpleasant surprises. And finally, he was a delight to work with - very personable with a great sense of humor. (He has also written a number of screenplays and produced two successful feature films - in other words he is a Renaissance man.)

Rory helped us buy our first home, and he could not have been more patient and helpful. We felt like we were getting first class service, and he was always available for whatever we needed at all times of the day or night. We love our new home and we are so glad we had such a great advocate in Rory to get the best deal we could. Thank you, Rory!

I finally took the plunge this year and decided to buy my first home. Needless to say, the thought of actually going through with it was pretty overwhelming and unnerving. Rory came very highly recommended to me and I could immediately see why. He is, to be sure, the best. Right from the start he put my mind at ease and patiently led me through the process, never pushing or pressuring, but explaining each step along the way. He would check out places before showing me, knowing if it would or wouldn't meet my needs, so that I never felt my time was being wasted in the places we looked at. He was fantastic at negotiating my offer so that I ended up with a truly incredible deal. He's the consummate professional whose sole aim was always to help me find that place that I could call Home. I've now been in my own home for three months and I couldn't be happier! I would recommend Rory in a heartbeat to anyone looking for that agent who will always have their best interests at heart. Thank you, Rory!!

It's been a dream to own a beach cottage for years. We have been searching for that special place but always had some trepidation. Rory was the perfect agent, it was meant to be. He was knowledgeable of the area and it's inherent housing "issues". Rory even spent 5 hours in a car to drive to / from the inspection! That is true dedication. Every step of the transaction was relayed to us, we were always informed and put at ease with him at the helm of the process. Grateful for his help in making our dream come true.

Rory Veal is a class act. He is personable, knowledgeable, athletic, social and a person who will work for you and with you on YOUR needs. We were not just clients but became friends because he is the type of person we want as a friend as well. Always hospitiable and willing to adjust his schedule. Best to you, Rory!

Rory stuck it out through our epic journey to buying a home. He is a very good listener and used his extensive experience to our advantage, which is what matters to me.

I was selling a piece of property and was living out of state. I researched several realtors in the area and decided to email Rory. Rory provided a quick response to my initial contact. He was very responsive and provided valuable advice and recommendations on the best/quickest way to sell the property. In less than two months I had an offer and he made sure everything was in order for the remote closing. All this was done over the phone and email and never once did I feel that he was not being 100% up front and honest with me. I would highly recommend him to anyone interested in selling a property.

We purchased a home in October of last year, and Rory Veal represented us in the transaction. Since we were coming from out of state, Rory demonstrated firm understanding of the buying process and real estate values in the McCall, ID area as he guided us through properties in our price range, and ultimately the negotiation and purchase of our new home. I would use Rory again for our real estate needs, and highly recommend him to others. A real pro!

My wife and I recently purchased a home. Rory located the home and handled the transaction. We had a four month escrow for various reasons beyond anybodies control. In addition, we were from out of state. Rory handled every bit of the transaction including monitoring the work of contractors working on the property during escrow. We were very satisfied with the service Rory provided. We hope to buy additional properties in the McCall/Donnelly area and will use Rory again. We highly recommend this excellent real estate agent.

WOW is the best word to describe our experience with Rory Veal. From the moment we met Rory, we knew it was a great 'match'. We were listing/selling a cabin that has been in the family for forty years, to which we had great emotional and memory-ties of time spent with family, but we knew it was time to sell. Rory was immediately responsive to our needs and was compassionate and understanding, and very personable as he had to deal with two 'old ladies' who were the owners of the family home. His knowledge of the real estate market in the area was phenomenal which gave us great confidence. He treated us with respect, answered our many questions, was always responsive to our needs, and a total professional. He was in constant contact with us every single step of the way, finding ways for us to communicate on a personal level...even meeting us for 'coffee' to clear up some information...and we don't even drink coffee!!! He was there for us every step of the way. Because we were on a land lease, we had heard that it took YEARS to negotiate a deal...and with Rory as our realtor, the cabin was sold in 3 weeks from the time we listed with him, to signing the final papers...unheard of! What great negotiating skills! We highly recommend Rory to anyone who is selling property...he made us feel like we were his most important client.

The most important thought to have when deciding to choose a realtor to represent you, is to seek a person who will take the time to talk to you, get to know you, really hear you, and most of all, learn what is important to you. Ultimately, Rory Veal is that realtor and is by far the very definition and meaning of being "a cut above the rest." From the moment we shook his hand, we knew that we were going to be more than just a 3 or 6 percent paycheck to him and he proved that every day we worked with him. Moreover, Rory's knowledge and experience in the field makes the experience smooth and painless because he knows what to anticipate and is always prepared. In the end, we would recommend his real estate services to anyone who is looking for the right person to look out for your best interests

Over the years I have worked with several Real Estate Brokers and Rory is my favorite. He gets things done, has great attention to detail and is very professional. But most of all, Rory is fun to work with!

Rory is very knowledgeable with regards to the McCall area real estate market, neighborhoods and current trends. He listened and reacted our requirements (even when we changed our minds). We looked a literally dozens of homes and Rory was always willing to show more and even arranged someone else from his office to assist us when we couldn't get our schedules aligned. As a customer, I expect to be treated as if my business is needed and appreciated. Rory met this expectation with flying colors. I would recommend him to anyone looking to buy or sell in the McCall area. He is one bright spot in a tough process of buying a short sale home. He warned us of the timeline and the potential complications (short sale) ahead of time, so we were prepared for the long time line it took to wrap this up. He was honest and upfront with us about what we were getting into and never tried to "sugar coat" things to make us happy. I look forward to working with Rory again, should I need a realtor.

We walked into Rory's office based upon a somewhat casual interest in McCall real estate. He took the time to show us a few properties and describe the local market. During a visit in February of this year, we found a property that we were interested in. Rory helped us quickly close on a deal. Rory has considerable experience in real estate development and in selling real estate. His knowledge was very helpful in calibrating our understanding of the local market as well as representing our interests in this transaction.
