Helped me buy home • 2023

gates was a huge help!!!!I want to say thank you to Ricky Gates and everyone who helped me get my new home. We saw a few properties that we liked and Ricky Gates shared any and all concerns he found with the house and gave us explanation on why we should be concerned and the financial implications with said house. he also made sure we understood the process very well and whatever we didn’t know, he broke it down on a level we could comprehend and understand. I felt he was acting in the best interest for my family as if you were an uncle or a family relative. Thank you so much we love our new house.

Helped me buy home • mill Watertown, NY • 2024

My fiancé and I were extremely lucky to have found Rick for the purchase and selling of our first home! Rick was incredibly knowledgeable, flexible, and communicative throughout our experience. He frequently went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. We could not have asked for a more professional and friendly realtor. We have recommended Rick to everyone looking to buy or sell their property.

Helped me buy home • 2026

Ricky was amazing with us and we had a great experience!! Not only were we overseas in a different time zone but we had a short amount of time to find a home and close, so we knew that we were already asking for a lot to being with but Ricky was a delight! He communicated with us on our time and helped us get all the information we needed to get the ball rolling. He was available and present when we needed him and he made our already stressful experience a breeze! Highly recommend!

Amazing agent with a wealth of local knowledge.Rick was born and raised in the area and knows it well. He represented us for both the purchase and sale of our home. Rick was always available and when he couldn’t take a call, always called back without keeping us waiting. He is honest and didn’t sugarcoat anything, making suggestions that would help in the sale of our home. I listened and my house was on the market less than 24 hours when we went under contract. Amazing work Rick! Thanks for the help.

Excellent communicationRick Gates was extremely easy to work with. At all stages in the purchase of our first house he went above and beyond to ensure my wife and I understood what was happening at that time and what needed to happen next. Besides his attention to clarity he was extremely easy to get a hold of. If he didn’t answer a phone call he would text right back and call shortly after. To us this is a hallmark of a true professional.

STOP LOOKING!!! Work with Ricky!!Since there are so many professionals to choose from when purchasing a house I decided to find an agent who we would work with for when we would actually begin the home buying process; we were not planning to start for at least 6 months. Although there are other agents that are listed as having more years of experience than him, I was very impressed with the reviews I read from people who had worked with him.I almost decided to choose someone more "seasoned" but we are so glad we chose Rick!! We actually ended up putting in an offer on a home much sooner than we had planned and it was accepted- first offer. Moving forward we asked who he recommended for things such as the home inspection, loan officers, etc. We chose to hire/work with who he suggested and again- we are so thankful we did!! Overall our first home purchase experience went smoothly and quickly. Rick was a major reason why.Unlike some people who can be arrogant when they are good at their job, Rick is kind, humble, and appreciative. He is knowledgeable and explained everything that we did not understand; he was honest and straightforward and we were confident he was trustworthy. I HIGHLY recommend Rick Gates!!!
