Ricky is blessed to co-lead one of the top-selling real estate groups in the country, Cain Realty Group (CRG). He began his real estate career in 2006, and in 2009, he and his wife, KodiKay, co-founded CRG. Ricky and KodiKay's passion for delivering a five-star customer service experience led to many referrals from clients and other Realtors nationwide, so starting the group happened organically. They both realized that they couldn't do it by themselves to deliver the five-star experience they were known for. Since 2009, CRG has continued to grow annually in both clients served and in attracting exceptional team members that align with CRG's Core Values. Giving back to the less fortunate has always been at the top of Ricky and KodiKay's minds. Together, they have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for KW Cares and support many local organizations in the greater Austin area. This passion for giving led them to create their non-profit, Cain Cares. Cain Cares was established to help CRG clients and their families get the support they need in a severe time of need. This has inspired them to continue growing year after year to fund this mission that's near and dear to their hearts. Coaching and teaching other agents and groups across the country is Ricky's passion. So many have poured into him and have helped him over the years, and he considers it a privilege to do this for others. Ricky was also a MAPS Mastery Coach for three years, coaching some of the country's top agents. He's also been fortunate to contribute to Gary Keller's Mastermind Group since 2015, an exclusive group of the country's top KW real estate agents. Ricky was also blessed to be a contributing author to the inspirational book Faith in Real Estate, which details the journeys and lessons learned of top Christian Real Estate Agents. In Ricky's downtime, he enjoys spending time with his wife, son, and dog, Chandler Bing. He stays active by working out and running Town Lake, yet he also enjoys relaxing by watching a great movie or lounging by the pool at the Cain Oasis. Many who know him know that his Rickaritas are legendary, and he's known for gifting them to those who send him a referral. Lastly, Ricky has an extensive Monopoly collection that spans from the early 1900s to current editions. He doesn't just work in real estate, he plays and collects real estate too.

We had a great experience working with CRG. They were really helpful in walking us through the pricing and timing strategy for our house, which we listed in January ahead of the usual spring rush. Their approach to pricing, the timing of the listing, and the marketing all worked -- we ended up with strong interest and an all-cash offer above list just four days after going live, even in a competitive market. The photos and videos they produced were beautiful, and we'll always have those to remember the house by. The team was easy to work with, very responsive, and clearly had our backs. They pushed to protect the equity we've built and made sure our interests came first. Buying and selling a home is a big deal, and it's stressful by nature. Having CRG on our side made it feel manageable, and we're really glad they were the team we worked with. Thank you, team!!!!

We cannot thank CRG enough for everything they did to help us find our home. As first time homebuyers, it was crucial for us to work with a team that understood our needs (and they were a lot). Under the incredible leadership of Kodikay, CRG exceeded all of our expectations! We were lucky to have randomly met Ethan at an open house, and from the first conversation we had, we knew that we were in the right hands. Ethan took the time to listen to our needs, wants, and priorities. And he would show us homes that met all of those things. Even after missing out on a few homes we thought were ours, he kept a positive and optimistic attitude, and that meant so much during those really difficult days. When Ethan found our home, we could tell it was meant to be! From the second we got the initial phone call about it to the moment we went under contract (SAME DAY!) to closing, CRG made sure to take care of us every step of the way. Nancy Marie kept updating us on tasks we needed to complete and explaining things that as first time homebuyers, it's not obvious to us. She was kind, knowledgeable, and always quick to give us a response. We truly admire her help and guidance. To not make this any longer, we want to express our most sincere gratitude to CRG, Ethan, Nancy Marie, and their great leader Kodikay. Thank you for helping us find a house that our family can turn into a home. Your kindness and compassion did not go unnoticed. Happy Holidays!

We had the sincere pleasure of working closely with KodiKay Cain, Ricky Cain, Nancy Marie-Ruiz, Connor Johnstone, Elizabeth Edmonson and the entire Cain Realty team. KodiKay and Ricky were exceptional experts in their roles and demonstrated top quality professionalism & expertise through the entire process of selling our condo in Austin. The entire team demonstrated consistent positive follow-through and outstanding communications and made the extra time to explain every step along the way to us. KodiKay and Ricky showed the highest of honesty & integrity and were true advocates for us as sellers. We could not have been happier with this entire experience even with us currently residing in the San Francisco Bay area. Nancy Marie-Ruiz was detailed and quick to respond to all communications thoroughly & coordinate all the pertinent timely documentation processes/questions along the way. Our personal experience with this company and team is the best! Cain Realty team are personable & client-friendly and take the time that you need as clients to achieve the goals you have established with them. We highly recommend this group for anyone looking for the very best to work with regarding either buying/selling a property. KodiKay and Ricky Cain are highly experienced and knowledgeable and demonstrate their professional skills to work with many different complex situations and personalities along the real estate process. It is very clear that this company is led by two top leaders in the real estate industry (KodiKay & Ricky Cain) and both work well as a team with their experienced staff and truly cares for each individual client and their specific needs. A huge THANK YOU TO YOU ALL for an exceptionally well-done job!

Ricky and KodiKay did an amazing job selling our house quickly in a very difficult market. They went above and beyond providing much help and support for us throughout the process. They even organized the repairs and preparations needed to make our house ready for sale as we had already moved. We found Ricky and KodiKay to be very knowledgeable and skillful at selling houses. We were also impressed with their honesty and integrity and their great hearts for helping people.

Ricky, KodiKay and their team did a fantastic job selling our home in Lakeway. Even with a lot of competition and high inventory in a buyer's market, they had us under contract within a week and closed in less than a month. Throughout the process, we were kept well informed with great communication and insight. We couldn't be happier with the results and highly recommend Cain Realty Group.
