“We had been looking for a house from Woodside to Sunnyside for quite some time, met a lot of agents, and had lots of viewings. Finally, we found an exceptional agent and the perfect place for our family. From the first viewing up until the day of closing, Ricky was very patient and thorough, answering our numerous questions and explaining the step-by-step process along the way. We were first-time homebuyers and unfamiliar with real estate. Through Ricky’s guidance, he made us feel secure and confident in moving forward. He is very professional and easy to deal with. With Ricky as your agent, you know you will be in good hands.”

Buyer | Malverne
“I highly recommend Ricardo. He helped me sell my property, and within a week we were in contract. After being extremely satisfied, I used his services again to buy a property. Within two weeks, he found me the perfect home and made sure everything went smoothly and quickly. This is the fifth property I own and by far best experience ever.”

He helped us find the home we wanted in the location we needed. Ricky is very knowledgeable and always had a solution to every problem we inquired about. His professionalism, knowledge, honesty, kindness, and work ethic are greatly respected and appreciated.

Ricky is our angel who helped alleviate every concern during this time-consuming house-hunting process. He is the best agent and will certainly help you find your next home.”
