Gus Lafkas

Douglas Elliman Real Estate

Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?

About
Gus Lafkas graduated from New York Institute of Technology with a BBA Degree in Business Administration intending to become an entrepreneur. Gus became an owner of a Restaurant which gave him the organizational skills, the patience and the caring that is so needed in business.

Little did he realize back then that his life would take a turn in a different direction. He sold the business and began his mortgage career in 2002 followed by his passion of selling homes in 2008. To Gus, this feels natural and not like work!

In September 2008, Gus joined Douglas Elliman Real Estate, which he calls HOME!

Many wonderful people with big hearts believed in Gus and gave him an opportunity to succeed. He is bilingual (speaking both English and Greek). Gus is 100% devoted to ALL his customers giving them the service they deserve making himself available 24/7/365.

Gus is a great guy and has a ton of experience in the area. He helped me buy a home and helped me sell one as well. If you are looking to buy or sell in Long Island he will be a great asset
