Looking to sell your property, buy a new home, or just need some expert real estate advice?
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.
Ratings & Reviews
From start to finish Gus was there along the way to help and answer any questions until the purchase of the house. Made us feel comfortable and service was top notch.
As a result of Gus' knowledge and professional manner we received many viable offers. He immediately began marketing our home, was proactive in setting up appointments and was respectful of our time as well as the parameters we set. He promptly returned our phone calls and texts, even while he was on vacation and kept us abreast of the process as it unfolded. I would recommend him to other potential home sellers.
Gus was introduced to me as my agent since we have become friends. I trust him in every way. Attention to detail, knowledge of product, his demeanor, ability to get the job done, work ethic, and a wonderful family man and human being.
Gus was a very attentive to the needs of the seller. He was also very resourceful to first time sellers like myself. He is always available for any questions or concerns.
S VERY GENTLY TO EXPLAIN AND SHOW THE HOMES,
CALL THE COSTUMER WHEN HE HAS ANY INFORMATION,
HELPFUL IN AND AFTER THE WHOLE PROCESS
I WILL RECOMMEND GUS TO ALL THE PEOPLE THAT I KNOW WANT TO BUY A HOME
Highly likely to recommend
