Testimonials
What my clients say.
“I’ve enjoyed knowing and working with Rick Schettino since 1999. In the early 2000s, Rick played a key role in helping grow my home services business—from a single plumbing truck to a thriving, multi-million dollar home service contracting company. Rick has remained a trusted consultant and collaborator for the past two decades. He has been instrumental in developing and evolving my software company, ReviewBuzz, which now serves over 5,000 home service businesses nationwide. Rick brings a rare mix of hands-on experience, strategic thinking, and creative problem-solving. Over the years, I’ve hired him repeatedly as a freelancer and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him. I rely on him for both insight and execution.”
