I have been dedicated to helping individuals and families find their dream homes Since 2019.

I am born and raised in St Louis but found my way to De Soto where I met my wife and I have three beautiful daughters. Hi, I’m Rick Draper — a local Realtor who believes finding or selling a home should feel less like a transaction and more like a partnership. I take pride in being approachable, honest, and community-focused, offering guidance that’s tailored to your needs rather than pushing for

📼🏡 National VCR Day – June 7 🏡📼

Today we’re celebrating a piece of technology that reminds us just how much things have changed.

There was a time when finding a movie meant driving to the video store, hoping your favorite VHS tape wasn’t already checked out, and remembering to rewind it before returning it. Now, thousands of movies are available with the click of a button.

Real estate has changed just as much.

Years ago, buyers flipped through printed listing books, drove around looking for yard signs, and waited for new listings to appear. Today, buyers can browse homes, take virtual tours, sign documents electronically, and schedule showings from their phones.

While the technology has changed, one thing hasn’t: buying or selling a home is still one of the biggest decisions most people will ever make. Good advice, local knowledge, and personal service are just as important today as they were decades ago.

So in honor of National VCR Day, tell me:

📼 What was your favorite VHS movie?
🏡 What is one thing you remember about house hunting before the internet?

I’d love to hear your stories!

🏡 UNDER CONTRACT! 🏡

Congratulations to my seller on getting this beautiful home under contract!

This is an exciting milestone, but there is still plenty of work ahead before we reach the closing table. Inspections, appraisals, financing, and a number of important steps still need to be completed along the way.

Thank you for trusting me to help guide you through the process. I look forward to working through the next phase and helping ensure a smooth transaction all the way to closing day.

Here’s to a successful closing in the weeks ahead!

Whether you are dreaming about your first home, upgrading for more space, downsizing, or finally ready to put that “For Sale” sign in the yard, I would love the opportunity to help.

Real estate is more than contracts and paperwork. It is about helping people take the next step in life with confidence.

The market is always changing, but good communication, hard work, and honest guidance never go out of style.

If you are thinking about buying or selling, let’s talk about your goals and make a plan that works for you.

Call or text me anytime.
