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
We had a great experience working with Gus. I couldn’t believe how responsive he was to all of our requests and questions, and he knew far more than we ever hoped to about the process of buying a home.
We used Gus to sell our home and purchase a new home. He was great to work with and made the process very easy. He was able to find a buyer for our home quickly. He also helped us find a new home just as quick. He was available anytime to answer all our questions and concerns. Very knowledgeable and is a great agent! Overall we had a great experience working with him and would recommend him to friends and family.
He really takes care of everything! He sold our home, helped us find the perfect new home for us and really does care and build a personal relationship with his clients.
