    About Ricky Gates

    I have lived most of my life in northern New York apart from the time my father was in the military. After college, my wife and I started a family in Watertown to be near family. My daughter is starting her first year of college and my son is entering his junior year of high school. I have spent most of my career as a multi-unit supervisor where I was a top performer over the years. I recently obtained my real estate license, and I am looking forward to providing a high level of service to my clients. My hobbies include traveling, live music, sporting events, musicals with my family, and at times running including marathons. Fortunately, most of these hobbies include travel.
    HOBBIES/INTEREST
    I ride ATVs, snowmobile, and occasionally participate in local soccer and running.
    FAMILY
    My wife teaches art at the junior high level. My daughter is in law school and my son is attending junior college.

    Ricky was great for us especially when we knew nothing at all about houses, he showed me everything to look for, good and bad, very professional and was ready for any questions we had. It was a smooth process all the way through to closing, any house we were interested in was reserved and ready for showing next day. Highly recommend to anyone.

    With the recent changes in New York State law, you could save yourself a lot of trouble and money by doing business without an agent. However, Mr. Gates is the kind of man you do not want to do business without, since he chooses to do more than I can imagine his commission is worth. I now see Rick as my neighbor, and dare I say friend, and I should like to think that's exactly who will make the most of money and time.

    Rick was an exceptional guide throughout the entire process of finding our dream house, from the initial search to the final closing. He was patient, kind, and understanding, and he found ways to cut costs. Rick meant a lot to my wife and me.

    I had the pleasure of working with Rick Gates from EXP Realty during my recent home buying process, and I cannot speak highly enough of the experience. From the moment I began my search to the day I closed, Mr. Gates demonstrated unparalleled professionalism, dedication, and expertise. I am in the military and stationed at a different duty station and Mr. Gates worked with me for over 3 months to find me the house that was right for me and in my budget. He is a local who has lived in the area for a long time and has a depth of knowledge that is unmatched. He gave me the best recommendations and eased any concerns with buying my first house. Mr. Gates fought to get me a fair compensation for any repairs that needed to be done. He also was available at anytime of day to answer any questions and give advice on homes. I wholeheartedly recommend Rick Gates to anyone in search of a top-notch real estate agent. He is a true industry leader who is passionate about helping clients achieve their real estate goals, and I am confident that anyone who has the privilege of working with him will not be disappointed.
