About Ricardo Rivera
Rico's journey in real estate is deeply rooted in his personal experiences. After immigrating from Mexico, his family spent several years in a cramped two-bedroom apartment with thirteen people. The transition to a modest house marked a significant turning point for him. "When we moved, I felt like I was living in a palace," Rico recalls. This pivotal moment instilled in him a belief in his potential and set the course for his future.
Rico embarked on a 15-year career with Old Republic Home Protection, where he quickly distinguished himself as a leading sales representative, managing over 300 transactions monthly. He later joined Keller Williams Realty Sac-Metro, excelling as a manager overseeing 140 real estate agents and earning numerous accolades. His transition to becoming an agent at Silicon East Real Estate was met with immediate success, as he was honored as Rookie of the Year in his first year.
"The pride my parents took in our home and our upward mobility inspired me to strive for greatness," he reflects. This motivation drives his commitment to his clients, as he aims to empower families to realize their full potential.
Currently, Rico specializes in assisting clients relocating from the Bay Area to the Greater Sacramento Valley. "Making the right move can have a lasting impact on both your finances and your self-belief," he emphasizes. "Having an expert who understands the transformative power of relocation can be invaluable."
Rico holds the position of President of The National Hispanic Association of Real Estate Associates (NHORA) and has previously served as President of the Greater Sacramento chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals (NHAREP). He was instrumental in establishing the Young Professionals Network (YPN), which now boasts over 300 chapters nationwide, and has served as President of the Sacramento Association of Realtors (SAR) Young Professionals Network. Additionally, he is a sought-after speaker on social media marketing at a national level.
Residing in Elk Grove with his wife, Tanya, and their two daughters, Kiani and Leylanie, Rico enjoys DJing and restoring his cherry red 1957 Buick Century in his spare time.
