The Rice Group at Compass - Real Estate

Brent and JoAnne are an exceptional team. They successfully sold my home in a remote area during a challenging market, exceeding all my expectations. Brent provided clear, consistent communication throughout the entire process, while JoAnne’s expert staging transformed the property into a buyer’s dream. Their deep knowledge of the neighborhood—combined with their genuine, friendly approach toward the community—truly set them apart. Brent’s targeted marketing strategy was particularly impressive, ensuring the home gained immediate visibility with qualified, high-end buyers. Even after the sale, they went above and beyond by assisting with furniture removal. I highly recommend their services for a stellar, stress-free experience.

We found Brent and JoAnn through Compass in March 2026 and closed on our Coppell home less than three months later. From the very first conversation to the final title sign-off, they were nothing short of exceptional. With them, you get two of the greatest agent minds in one. This wasn't a simple transaction. We were selling while relocating internationally, which meant navigating FIRPTA withholding requirements and completing the entire closing while we were already abroad. Any one of those pieces could have derailed things. Instead, Brent and JoAnn coordinated everything and worked seamlessly with our tax specialist and the title company so that nothing fell through the cracks. We signed the final documents from halfway around the world and it went off without a hitch. Brent is a formidable negotiator, and he proved it in the most direct way possible. At a point where I was already satisfied with the price on the table, he pushed further — and came back with $15,000 more than I had asked for. He fought for our interests even when we would have settled for less. That says everything about how he works. JoAnn went far beyond what we expected from an agent. She helped us choose paint colors and cabinet finishes, recommended every vendor we needed, and coordinated the work so the home showed at its absolute best. When we were in India, she visited the house herself to make sure everything was in order — not because we asked, but because that's simply how she operates. What stood out most was the care. Three months of planning, coordinating upgrades, managing vendors, and navigating every twist — and through all of it, they handled everything with professionalism, patience, and genuine warmth. For us this wasn't just a home sale; it was a major life transition. Having Brent and JoAnn by our side made all the difference. If you're selling in the DFW area — especially if your situation has any complexity to it — we recommend them without reservation. Two of the best minds in the business, working as one team. — Nadesh & Shalini

I cannot recommend Brent highly enough. My journey to find a home spanned over three years, and Brent was there every step of the way. We originally started looking during an incredibly competitive market where I was repeatedly outbid, …

We had a great experience selling our home and buying our new home in Plano with Brent and his team. From start to finish, everything felt well coordinated and easy. Brent connected us with excellent contractors who helped get our home ready to sell and made sure our new place was move-in ready. He also introduced us to a fantastic lender who offered a no-cost rate float-down through closing and a free post-closing refinance, along with a title company that handled everything smoothly with minimal effort on our end. We would work with Brent again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone buying or selling a home.

5 Star Review As a roofing contractor serving the DFW area, I work with many Realtors throughout the metroplex. When homes are being represented for buyers or sellers and roofing concerns come up, I am often brought in to assist. I can honestly say that working with Brent and JoAnn Rice with Compass has always been an absolute pleasure. I truly appreciate the trust they place in me to help take care of their clients, whether they are representing the buyer, the seller, or sometimes both. They operate at a very high level, communicate quickly, stay proactive throughout the transaction, and consistently put their clients’ needs first. What speaks volumes is how their clients talk about them. I constantly hear positive feedback about how smooth they make the process and how hard they work to protect their clients’ best interests. That kind of reputation does not happen by accident. DFW has no shortage of Realtors. When you find professionals who genuinely care, go above and beyond, and deliver exceptional service every time, that deserves recognition. If you are in the DFW area and need a high level Realtor who knows what they are doing and will work relentlessly to get you the best deal, whether you are buying or selling, I highly recommend Brent and JoAnn Rice. They have absolutely earned this five star review. Terry Placker Owner Semper Shield Roofing & General Contracting
