TEAM MEMBERS

 

 

Ricky Allen
 
The most successful Realtors build their business on repeat clients and referrals. Ricky Allen is committed to providing the necessary energy and enthusiasm in order to exceed expectations of a Realtor. Ricky has an extensive background in business and negotiations, and a real passion for real estate. He bought his first property in his early 20s, and has bought and sold within his own portfolio of real estate for over 30 years. Ricky has a wide range of real estate experience, from owning and managing international investment properties to possessing residential development experience. He not only has experience in 1031 tax-deferred exchanges, but he also has a keen eye for residential design components. 
 
Ricky possesses a BS in Economics from the University of Missouri and an MBA from Washington University. However, his most valuable life lessons have come from his extensive international travels and interactions with many diverse cultures. He has traveled trading in precious gemstones in places such as Myanmar (Burma) and Sri Lanka. 
 
Ricky's entrepreneurial spirit and work ethic began at an early age with a strong family influence. His grandfather immigrated from Poland in the early 1900s with only a backpack to his name and began peddling. A general store soon opened. Three generations later, the family company became one of the largest food service companies in the U.S. 
 
Born and raised in St. Louis, Missouri, Ricky has maintained his Midwestern family values and work ethic. Ricky and his wife, Cathy, have traveled the world near and far, yet have found no place as magical as Santa Fe. They have a beautiful horse ranch in Santa Fe where they ride and train Peruvian Paso horses. 
 
Ricky has spent three winters at Vail Ski Resort, giving skiers the ultimate customer service and providing guided ski tours of the mountain. He also loves road biking, swimming, racquetball and squash. His other passions are cooking and enjoying red wine.

" Ricky took lots of time walking us through entire home purchasing process, which we really appreciated as first time home buyers. We promptly received responses to our questions, and were able to get many viewings at relatively short notice, and on weeknights to accommodate our work schedule."

  -M Paff, Client

"I was able to close on a house purchase in 15 days with Catherine. She is well known and well respected in the Santa Fe broker community; understood what I was looking for in a new home, and with the help of her team got inspections (physical, well, septic, roof, survey, etc) done promptly by local professionals. She was knowledgable and helpful in setting the offer price and instrumental in working through the negotiations to an equitable conclusion. Highly professional and ethical."

  -Frank J, Client

" Ricky and associates have gone above and beyond in helping us purchase our house in Santa Fe. We have just closed on our house (May 2019) and we did so within 21 days. Somehow, Ricky brought all of the various parties together and finalized everything without a single problem. The minute after we closed, my wife and I just breathed a sigh of relief and commented on how easy it was buying a house more than 1800 miles away! Ricky's knowledge of the market and the Santa Fe area were both very helpful in making our final decision. Ricky and associates were involved in every step of the process and they followed up with numerous emails in order to finalize everything in a neat and timely manner. Thank you Ricky for you consummate professionalism but most of all, thank you for caring."

  -Mark & Deborah, Client

"I want to thank you for the outstanding effort you made to move this property. After 24 months on the market with only two half-hearted offers that didn't make it to the counteroffer state, I was beginning to lose hope. You had the listing for a month, got the property featured in The New York Times, and brought me two signed offers. You can be assured that Ricky Allen & Associates (and Sotheby's) will have my unqualified recommendation to all of my friends (including those at The Santa Fe Opera). "
