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.

I worked with the Cain Group and used Conner as my agent. The entire experience felt like I was working with a friend. Conner explained the steps and took the time to find us the exact home that met our needs and budgets

We have used Cain group services to buy multiple investment/rental properties in Austin. We bought all these properties remotely since we are not local to Austin. Our realtor from Cain group had a great knowledge and showed us multiple properties on video based on our criteria. The whole process of buying homes with Cain group was smooth. They even have a great rewards program. Highly recommended!

I'm the picky guy. I'm the one who asks 1,000 questions. Ricky and his team not only answered all my questions they did it with the professionalism that was above and beyond what I would have expected. The Cain Team has been there during the whole process of selling and buying our home. I am impressed with their knowledge and fantastic communication. The whole team is great.

I cannot say enough great things about Ricky and the Cain Team. From the time he walked through our front door to the time we closed, they walked us through every step and were consummate professionally. Based on solid market data that he provided, Ricky recommended a list price that generated multiple offers and lead us to make more than we hoped for. If you're in the real estate market in Austin, you absolutely cannot go wrong working with Ricky Cain.

Ricky was diligent in getting my home sold. He listened to us, made recommendations, and followed our wishes. He and his group followed up on all prospective buyers. When we lowered the price, based on his suggestion, he contacted all the previous agents to see if their clients were interested. We had two offers within three days and Ricky followed the best offer through to closing. We were extremely pleased with Cain and Company and highly recommend them!

Ricky Cain & Company were absolutely fantastic as we navigated through buying a home from out-of state and had a short time span within which to do it. My stress level was high enough already, so what a blessing it was to have such competent and trustworthy agents working for our best interest! I would recommend them to anyone needing the services of a realtor in the Austin area. You just can't go wrong with that kind of amazing customer service, friendliness and care.

Ricky and his team at Cain and Co went above and beyond with selling our home. They worked hard from prior to listing to closing to make sure everything worked out. They were very responsive and did a great job marketing our home. With their work, we received multiple offers and sold for over list price!

Ricky Cain and his team were awesome! I could completely trust them and know that they had our best interests at heart, and on top of that they sold our house for the highest price per square foot EVER in our neighborhood. Such nice people and a wonderful experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone!

Cain & Company Team is caring, honest, sincere and work hard for their clients. Their first interest is being sure their clients have a smooth transition from buyer to home owner and seller to sold. They have carefully created a fantastic team within Keller Williams as well as creating a dependable vendor support group to make transitions and transactions painless for their clients. I can highly recommend Cain & Company for your buying and selling needs

Ricky helped us tremendously throughout the entire process of home searching and buying. He is very knowledgeable about the process, from finding homes in the Austin market, to negotiating during a multiple-offer situation. From the very beginning you can tell he wants what is best for his clients. He is very responsive and is quick to call and set up a viewing as soon as a good home comes on the market (or sometimes premarket). Also, if you like more of the personal touch, you will always be invited to join in on his monthly happy hour parties. We will definitely call Ricky if ever we sell our home in the future.

In a very tough market, Ricky hustled to find us the house we were looking for before it was even on the market. We ended up getting a great deal because we were the first to see it and place an offer. The offer was accepted before anyone else saw the house. It was a great job by Ricky!

Y'all made us feel as if you really cared that we were in the right home for us. You listened to our concerns and acted upon them. We felt like we were your only client (even though you have so many). Incredible personal detail is so very hard to find any more. You made buying our home so much more enjoyable than we anticipated. Fabulous experience...Thanks Cain and Company!
