Rich Noto( Realtor & Home Inspector )

I’m Rich Noto, a Florida Realtor® & Home Inspector with a focus on the best price and then new construction oversight. I specialize in new house purchases which includes homes built to Florida Residential Building Codes and Manufactures Installation Instructions.

I help homebuyers beyond the “standard Real Estate sales agent” (who may disappear after contract) by dealing with sales, construction managers, attending/monitoring inspections, and spotting defects. This helps buyers catch problems early.

Builders pay my commission so my service costs buyers nothing. Does not apply after buyer is in contract(all builders) or has contacted the builder alone(some builders). This top rated service is available at any town throughout Florida.

Any agent can “sell new homes” or be a “high volume seller” or have “builder relationships”. Sales marketing has nothing to do with understanding constructions defects. Home Defects are the main expense a homeowner will have and can cost home owners thousands of $$$.

I enjoy teaching my customers how new homes are built. How to identify water intrusion. And the steps to keep a house well maintained to prevent leaks over time. Out of state buyers get special walkthrough and inspection videos.

Whether its a completed move-in ready inventory house, or a to be built custom on the land, or a spec house. You deserve the best quality for your money!

I highly recommend Rich Noto for anyone considering a new construction home. The process of buying a new build requires an agent who not only understands the sales transaction but, more importantly, knows the ins and outs of the construction process. Rich was a fantastic advocate throughout my build, especially since I was relocating from Pennsylvania to Florida. While living states away, he made detailed videos of defects found during various inspections, as well as videos showing the progress. His communication and availability far exceeded my expectations. He has a keen eye for potential construction issues and a deep understanding of building codes that many other agents—and even some inspectors—might miss. Rich truly knows the critical phases of construction and when to schedule inspections, starting with the foundation and continuing beyond. He understands the tricks builders use to hide problems and knows exactly how to advocate for his clients. When my builder's construction manager was missing items and failing to resolve issues, Rich stepped in, met with the builder face-to-face, and got everything resolved. He was the keystone that held the entire process together.

As first-time homebuyers in Florida, we truly appreciated Richard’s experience and guidance throughout the entire real estate process. He always acted in our best interest and offered valuable tips during the construction of our home. One of the most helpful recommendations he made was to conduct multiple home inspections during the construction phase. This proactive approach helped us avoid costly issues down the line. We're very grateful for his support and highly recommend him to anyone navigating the home buying journey.

Rich Noto is an exceptional realtor who truly cares about his clients. He helped me build homes in Winter Garden, Clermont, and is currently assisting with a home in Minneola. Rich is not your typical pushy realtor; he’s honest, professional, and genuinely focused on getting the best outcome for his clients. Throughout the building process, Rich regularly visited my construction sites, provided updates with photos, attended inspections, and highlighted critical issues to address. His deep knowledge of construction, which is rare among realtors, was invaluable in ensuring my homes were built to the highest standards. Beyond his expertise, working with Rich was a pleasure. We had a lot of fun throughout the process, and he made what could have been stressful feel easy and smooth. Having Rich on your side feels like having both a trusted friend and a professional guiding you through every step. I highly recommend Rich to anyone looking to buy or build a home in Central Florida.

I wholeheartedly recommend Rich Noto to anyone seeking a realtor who truly exceeds normal real estate expectations. In an era where everything is accessible online, I didn’t just need a standard agent; I needed someone with Rich’s expertise. Not only does he attend inspections, but he actively engages in them, earning him the nickname ‘not-so-nice’ realtor due to his thorough approach. He pinpointed issues missed by inspectors and ensured these concerns were added to the reports. Furthermore, Rich revisited the property to ensure all issues were resolved. Upon finding unresolved problems, he pressured the home builder to meet standards. Rich’s background in inspections and experience with construction managers proved invaluable, saving me money and alleviating future stress. Rich is the advocate every home buyer deserves!

I found Rich watching his YouTube videos & saw that he was very familiar with the areas I wanted to buy a home in. What makes him stand out from other realtors are the countless of certifications he obtained & his eyes for seeing the quality of new construction homes. He & I visited the home a few times & he pointed out the things I need to make sure won't cause me issues in the future. I learned a lot from him. I think people can often be unsatisfied with their purchase of their home because they failed to get a good realtor who can see things from all different angles. Give Rich a try. Oh & DON'T CALL/VISIT NEW CONSTRUCTION SALES OFFICE WITHOUT YOUR REALTOR!!!! Rich explains this very well in his YouTube channel. Watch them!!! He's very quick & responsive too so reach out to him if you have questions 321-804-3112

Rich is an exceptional realtor and so much more. Unlike the typical pushy salesperson, he's the complete opposite – a professional brimming with honesty and a genuine concern for his clients. He's not just trying to sell a house ASAP; he's there to build a dream with you. With Rich's help, I've built a house in Winter Garden and now another in Clermont. His role was crucial, going well beyond what you'd expect from a standard contract. Rich took an active part in controlling the building process, providing me with regular updates and photos every couple of weeks. His advice on inspections and attention to critical details were invaluable. Before the closing, we spent a thorough four hours walking through the house. As a licensed home inspector, Rich pointed out defects that definitely needed attention – a rare find in the industry, given that most realtors aren't trained in construction and materials. Rich is an exceptional realtor from multitude of perspectives. Thank you, Rich!
