Gus Lafkas

Gus Lafkas graduated from New York Institute of Technology with a BBA Degree in Business Administration intending to become an entrepreneur. Gus became an owner of a Restaurant which gave him the organizational skills, the patience and the caring that is so needed in business.

Little did he realize back then that his life would take a turn in a different direction. He sold the business and began his mortgage career in 2002 followed by his passion of selling homes in 2008. To Gus, this feels natural and not like work!

In September 2008, Gus joined Douglas Elliman Real Estate, which he calls HOME!

Many wonderful people with big hearts believed in Gus and gave him an opportunity to succeed. He is bilingual (speaking both English and Greek). Gus is 100% devoted to ALL his customers giving them the service they deserve making himself available 24/7/365.

Gus has received multiple awards recognizing his success in Real Estate. Some of the awards are:
Leading Edge Society Award (2009-2014), President’s Circle Award (2015-2016) and Gold Circle Award 2017,18,19,20,21

The best professional advice Gus can offer to anyone beginning their career or to seasoned agents is to "NEVER GIVE UP" because Anything is Possible!
