Ricardo helped me to find a home for a family friend who needed a less traditional path to home ownership. He was patient, resourceful and was willing to talk over multiple strategies. He was quick to handle issues and usually responded within a few hours. A caring, ethical professional!

I actually had Ricardo help me with buying my house in 2013, and it was such a positive experience that he was my first choice when I went to sell it 6 years later.
He was fantastic both times, and made me and my wife feel that we had a true advocate in the process, explaining each step, and ensuring that everything went smoothly.
I recommend anyone I know in the Gainesville area looking to buy or sell a home to Ricardo, and I don't make recommendations lightly as they reflect directly onto my business reputation.

Moving from New York to Gainesville was a huge change and quite a challenge. After living in our home in NY for 37 years, we decided to move closer to our granddaughter. Ricardo was so helpful and professional it made the process less traumatic for us. He followed through on everything we asked without stressing. He offered information that he thought might be helpful without being asked. He was prompt and dependable about getting back to us with answers to our questions. Working with Ricardo to find our "forever home" was a pleasure. He handled the closing for us while we were in transit to Florida and it went so smoothly and easily, we couldn't believe it! Thank you Ricardo! We love our new home and new city!

Ricardo knew the area very well and was very accommodating to short-notice tours due to my tight schedule and frequent out-of-town periods. He was never pushy and ensured that he found homes that suited my needs. I ended up with an awesome home after seeing all the best examples that fill my needs in Gainesville. When it came time to make a deal, Ricardo was swift and shrewd with negotiations and the deal was made very quickly. I would highly recommend seeking Ricardo’s help if you’re looking for a home in this flourishing area.

Ricardo was very helpful. He helped us buy our townhouse back in 2013 and worked with us and our schedule since we were coming from out of town. When we decided to sell this year, we knew Ricardo was the person to call to get the job done. Again, we were already moved out of town and he managed to coordinate everything for us. He made the process super easy and smooth..... definitely recommended for anyone looking for someone reliable, efficient and also nice and helpful.

Ricardo is amazing! I was a first time home buyer and Ricardo was incredibly patient and understanding of all my questions and concerns. He comes with a great deal of knowledge of the area and home buying and helped me navigate so many twists and turns. He was always honest with me about a home and walked me through each step without complaint, never sugar coating or pressuring me into something I was not 100% sure about. Would recommend him to anyone buying a home!

We absolutely recommend working with Ricardo if you're selling your house in Gainesville. His experience and recommendations for getting our house ready to sell were invaluable. We felt supported through the entire process. I can't say enough good things about our experience working with him.

If you need a realtor in Alachua County, then you need Ricardo Kokkas! I’ve worked with Ricardo on half-a-dozen real estate transactions, for both my personal residences and investment properties, and every single time Ricardo has worked miracles to make the deal happen the way I wanted. I can’t say for certain that Ricardo walks on water, but then again I’m not around him all the time.
There’s one name to know in Alachua County real estate, Kokkas... Ricardo Kokkas. He makes the impossible possible!
If you want a realtor with integrity, experience, and can negotiate William Shatner into a fetal position then the realtor you want is Ricardo Kokkas!! Why waste time with anyone else? Call the best, call Ricardo Kokkas!

Riccardo Kokkas made our house purchase a pleasant experience. He not only helped us to close in time to celebrate Christmas in our new home, he also was always a phone call away if we had any questions or concerns. We would highly recommend Riccardo for any of your realty transactions.
