About Gus Lafkas
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.

Mr. Gus one of the best realtors that you can do business with. Cause he will explain to you all the steps of selling your house and will help in all the paper work. He will promote th property the right way. Thank you Gus for your help.
Gus is the absolute best! He helped us buy our first house and made the experience so easy and enjoyable, especially for first-time home-buyers like us. He is quick to respond, always happy to help, and the most supportive. All in all, he is a pleasure to work with and we recommend Gus with all our hearts!
Gus has been our agent for 6+ years now. Very patient and attentive. Helped us with our first home purchase and when it was time to upgrade, he was just as wonderful second time around. I highly recommend him for your real estate needs. He will not rush you, will hear out all your concerns and stick by you until you make a decision.

Gus was very helpful throughout the whole process of buying my home. I highly recommend him for any of your real-estate needs. He guided me through picking the right home for me. He was informative and supporting from getting the right lawyer to finding the right mortgage broker. He is very responsive and courteous.
