Ricardo Garcia

- Your Northern Colorado Real Estate Advisor

I'm Ricardo Garcia, Team Lead and REALTOR® with Properties Colorado at Keller Williams Preferred Realty, helping buyers, sellers, investors, and relocating clients throughout Northern Colorado, including Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Greeley, and surrounding communities.

For me, real estate is both a profession and a family business built around relationships, service, and helping people make confident decisions about their future.

- A Family Legacy

My mother, Rain Garcia, founded our family real estate business in 2015. Before joining her, I spent nearly nine years teaching martial arts, where I developed a passion for teaching, listening, building relationships, and helping people grow.

I eventually chose to bring those skills into real estate and help Rain build a family business that could serve our clients for generations.

As I gained sales experience, I also became increasingly involved in the business itself—developing systems and processes, improving our technology and marketing, and finding better ways to serve our clients. In 2024, Rain and I formalized that natural transition, and I became the team leader of Properties Colorado.

Today, I lead our team's direction in relationships, technology, marketing, systems, and business growth while continuing to personally guide buyers and sellers.

- Why Northern Colorado

Northern Colorado became home years before it became my real estate market.

I moved to Fort Collins around age 18 or 19 after growing up in the Thornton area. I quickly fell in love with Northern Colorado because it reminded me of the Colorado I remembered growing up in: room to breathe, easy access to the outdoors, and a unique blend of city conveniences, small-town character, agricultural land, and open space.

That firsthand connection now helps me guide clients who are buying, selling, investing, or relocating throughout Fort Collins, Loveland, Windsor, Greeley, and Northern Colorado.

- A Trusted Advisor, Not Just an Agent

My goal isn't simply to get you through a transaction. I want to become a trusted real estate advisor you can rely on long after closing.

Clients describe me as knowledgeable, authentic, friendly, and attentive. I believe good advice starts with listening, understanding what you're actually trying to accomplish, explaining your options clearly, and putting your interests ahead of simply getting a deal done.

I also don't believe expertise means pretending to know everything. Real estate often intersects with lending, inspections, construction, legal matters, investments, taxes, and other specialized fields. When something requires expertise outside my own, I'll work to connect you with qualified professionals who can help us find the right answer.

My years teaching martial arts still influence how I work today. They taught me how to explain complicated ideas clearly, adapt to different people, and help someone gain confidence while navigating something unfamiliar.

Whether you're buying your first home, preparing to sell, investing, or relocating to Northern Colorado, I want you to understand your options and feel confident making the decisions that are right for you.

Outside of real estate, I still enjoy martial arts, singing, outdoor adventures, and spending time with family.

Today, I'm proud to lead the next chapter of Properties Colorado alongside Rain and Ashley Garcia, combining our different strengths to serve clients throughout Northern Colorado and the Denver metro.

If you're considering your next move, I'd be happy to start with a conversation about what you're trying to accomplish and how we can help.
