About Ricky O'Neal
Growing up in the Sacramento area, Ricky O'Neal has built a powerful foundation of relationships, community connection, and hyperlocal expertise that continue to define his leadership today. A graduate of San Francisco State University with a Bachelor of Arts in Geography and Land Use Planning, Ricky began his career as a project manager for a highly respected land-use planning and development consulting firm. Over seven years, he played a key role in major housing development projects throughout El Dorado, Sacramento, and Placer Counties, giving him a deep understanding of the region's growth, infrastructure, and long-term planning. In addition to his development background, Ricky has been a successful small-business owner since 1996, expanding his network and strengthening his ability to serve clients through authentic relationships and a solutions-oriented mindset. His combined experience in planning, entrepreneurship, and community engagement gives him unparalleled insight into the Tri-County real estate landscape. As a co-founder of The MORE Real Estate Group, Ricky helped build one of the region's most recognized and awarded real estate teams. The MORE Real Estate Group is celebrated as the #1 Keller Williams team in Northern California and Hawaii, consistently ranking top in both units sold and total sales volume. The team has been featured across major local media platforms, including community publications and "Best Of" award listings, and is known for its five-star client experience, innovative marketing, and strong philanthropic presence. Ricky has also expanded his leadership impact by becoming a Certified "Exactly What to Say" Business Coach, a distinction that enhances his ability to communicate with clarity, influence, and purpose. This certification allows him to coach agents and business professionals on the precise language that inspires action, builds trust, and elevates client experiences. Within The MORE Real Estate Group, Ricky is deeply committed to developing people, growing leaders, and creating opportunities. His passion lies in helping others find fulfillment--both in their careers and in their personal lives--through mentorship, strategic guidance, and a culture of excellence. Outside of real estate, Ricky is dedicated to community service and family. He and his wife, along with their two children, actively give back through multiple charitable avenues, continuing the tradition of service that defines his approach to business and leadership.

FAQ
My best advice for buyers—especially in competitive markets like Sacramento, Folsom, and the Tri-County region—is to get educated and prepared early. The more clarity you have about financing, neighborhoods, and timing, the more confidently you can move forward when the right home appears. At The MORE Real Estate Group, we provide buyers with real-time market insights, strategic negotiation guidance, and a proven process that helps eliminate stress and uncertainty. With the right agent at your side, you can approach the homebuying journey with clarity, confidence, and a winning strategy.
Selling a home is both a financial and emotional decision, and your outcome depends heavily on three things: pricing, preparation, and presentation. My advice is to trust a team that understands how to position your home for maximum exposure and highest value. At The MORE Real Estate Group, we lead the Sacramento Area as a top-producing real estate team because our marketing, staging, and pricing strategies consistently deliver top-of-market results. When sellers follow a proven system and partner with experts, the selling process becomes smooth, predictable, and profitable.
Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients including first-time buyers, move-up families, investors, long-time homeowners, developers, and relocation clients throughout Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado Counties. With a background in land use planning and development, I also provide specialized guidance for clients seeking new construction, large parcels, or complex property types. As co-founder of The MORE Real Estate Group, I support clients at every stage—from those buying their first home to those strategizing multi-property investment portfolios.
A recent transaction that stands out involved a family relocating to the Sacramento area who needed strong guidance on neighborhoods, schools, and long-term property value. Using our team’s hyperlocal market knowledge and my background in development and land planning, we identified a community that aligned perfectly with their goals. Through skilled negotiation and clear communication, we secured the home below the seller’s initial expectations while ensuring a smooth, stress-free experience. Moments like this—where expertise meets impact—are the reason I love what I do.
My real estate career began long before I became an agent. After earning a degree in Geography and Land Use Planning from San Francisco State University, I spent seven years as a project manager for a land development firm working on major housing projects across the region. In 1996, I launched my own small business, expanding my network and strengthening my connection to the Sacramento community. Real estate became the natural next step—a path where I could combine my planning background, business ownership experience, and passion for helping people. Co-founding The MORE Real Estate Group allowed me to build a team dedicated to excellence and opportunity.
Yes—my background in land use planning, housing development, and small-business leadership allows me to guide clients with a level of insight that goes beyond traditional real estate. I am also a certified “Exactly What to Say” Business Coach, trained to communicate with precision, influence, and clarity to help clients make confident decisions in high-stakes situations. Combined with the award-winning systems, coaching, and market expertise of The MORE Real Estate Group, my clients receive strategic, well-informed guidance throughout every step of the buying or selling process.
