About Ricky

I spent most of my upbringing in the Carthage area. My father, who was in the military, led the family to some interesting places including some time spent living in Germany. I have spent a good portion of his career as a multi-unit supervisor where he was a top performer over the years. Specializing in recruitment and associate development enabled me to increase my region's standing to one of the most profitable in the country. I have the skills necessary for success in real estate from my experience including excellent communication skills, creative thinking, problem solving, negotiation, honesty and a deep desire to be successful. I am forward thinking and brings a level of service to my clients not often found in real estate, I truly love the intricacies of real estate transactions, and you will know from the start that I only have my client’s best interests in mind. Outside of helping clients buy and sell homes, I enjoy traveling, live music, sporting events, musicals, and at times running. My wife and I have a daughter who is in law school and a son working on his bachelors.

We were looking for a realtor who had great reviews from a sellers standpoint since we wouldn't be in the state while selling. Rick was recommended to to my wife from a friend of hers. After reading some of his reviews from other seller, we decided on going with him. He made the process easy and pretty stress free for us. We recommend him to others.

Knowledgeable and reliable

We requested visits to nearly 20 houses before we found ours. Rick's experience and expertise were extremely helpful as we went maneuvered through the home-buying process. He was exceptionally reliable - on time for every showing, and he allowed adequate time at each visit. If you want someone who listens and follows through, Rick is the best!

Exceptional Service from Start to Finish

If you're looking for a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and patient real estate agent in the Watertown area, I can't recommend Ricky Gates enough. From start to finish, he made the entire home-buying process feel straightforward and stress-free. Ricky was incredibly patient, never rushed us, and took the time to answer every question we had. What really set him apart was his extensive local knowledge. He didn't just show us houses—he explained the different neighborhoods, pointed out the pros and cons of each area, and helped us understand what to look for in a property based on our needs. Throughout the process, we always felt like he had our best interests in mind. His professionalism, honesty, and dedication made a huge difference, and the overall experience exceeded our expectations. If you're buying or selling a home in the Watertown, NY area, Ricky Gates is someone you can trust. We had a fantastic experience and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an outstanding real estate agent.

Ricky Gates was a consummate professional as a buying agent in Watertown, NY. Buying from out of state I trusted Ricky’s knowledge of the local area to find the right home. I could always count on him for honesty, recommendations and thorough reviews of properties I was interested in.
