Ricky was very professional and made my experience on selling my first home the best. Any problem that came along the way, Ricky easily come up with a solution. He went above and beyond for me and my family! Most importantly sold my house at a price I didn't even expect to receive. We received multiple offer for our home, some with conditions and some were firm offers. Ricky went over all the offers, explained detail by details the pros and cons of each offer to help us understand it all. This man knows what he's doing! I would highly recommend him! - Noel D

He was very knowledgeable and helpful in finding me a home that met all of my criteria. He helped from the beginning of the search right through the negotiations and even once we had closed. He was esssential in helping us close at the right price, in the right location. I truly love where I live and couldn’t be here without Ricky’s help. I highly recommend Ricky if you are looking for a new home or selling as he is a major asset in the housing market. - Corks Winery Brampton

This isn't a lip service but a sincere, genuine opinion and assessment of the kind of person & as a Sales Rep Mr. Ricky Bola is, based on experience with him during the whole process of our journey in searching and eventually finding the perfect home that suits "OUR" personal preference/liking and not "HIS". He's a gentleman in every sence of the word. Respectful, considerate and ever accommodating with our requests even at short notice. Always giving us heads-up with the whole process, never got tired of briefing us with the minor details all the way to explaining the major, crucial ones to make us aware of the documents we are reading, signing and its implications before, during and after. Always giving the pros and cons to given situations/scenarios helping us in weighing our decisions and putting ahead our interest instead of his own. He strived to make things easier for us. Trustworthy & self-less with monetary concerns to the point of sacrificing his own financial gains in order to extend his help. At the end of the whole journey, we not only found our humble abode thru his untiring, first-rate service. Most importanly, we also found a one true family friend. We thank the Lord for using him as a major instrument in fulfilling a major desire of our heart, a place we could call our HOME. A heartfelt thank you to you Ricky! - Sandy D

We recently were referred to Ricky Bola through a close mutual friend. In our area he spends a great deal of money on marketing as seen on bus stops and thru Facebook sponsored ads. We thought someone who invests this much time and money marketing must be serious, so we gave Ricky a shot. I do have to state in the time it took to persuade us to choose him Ricky was great, attentive, very accessible via Phone, text, email. It was great even until we listed. He showed us a number of homes all across the GTA. In these cases he was very accommodating and thus the second star. There were a ton of warning signs with Ricky from the get go, he is constantly trying to multi task as result mixing up numbers, prices, dates timings. This is a huge issue as purchasing or selling your home is the largest transaction of most people's lives. Such as ours. This was outlined and explained from the get go. It was also explained this isn't our first home or transaction and it would not be our last. It became very clear to us that Ricky attends or utilizes sales courses as any good realtor should, however his answers were just that. From a book with no real focus on the human aspect or relationship between realtor and customer. Ricky believed that his understanding of what the market was doing as of current was the end all be all word which became our largest obstacle. Ricky then brought us a very low offer on our house and did employ a number of tactics to make it seem as if we were not loosing money on our house. To the point that we had no choice but to agree vs walking away from the deal. Now the fun began. Ricky represented us a sellers first, he then brought buyers in who he represented. We were clear from day one prior to any MLS listing that our washer and dryer were coming with us vs staying at the house(purchased in 2017 and moved from our previous home) due to skin conditions. Only after he brought his own buyers in did he begin to make this an issue and blatantly began to lie. He stated we agreed to sell the house with the existing washer and dryer although our contract stated "Washer & Dryer" which Ricky advised us we would be able to swap it out as he left the term "Loose" only a few days before closing we get a letter from his broker of record which states we need to leave the washer and dryer. At which point it became an issue of our word over Ricky's word. To which our side was totally overlooked. We received emails from Mr. Bola which stated we were under legal obligation to leave the existing washer and dryer (which was un-true) as well clearly stated there would be "No compensation what so ever from my end" in regards to this issue of the washer and dryer. Ricky also chose to stand outside and speak to my wife in a very unprofessional manner (shouting & directly lying about things said) at which point it was the end for me. Once the deal is signed, expect nothing from Ricky and Remax Realty. Also Ricky did agree to purchase a TV for our new home if we bought and sold with him to match our previous agent's offer to us. Which his broker of record thinks he did as a "Sign of appreciation". Once the deal was signed Ricky even went behind our backs (HE WAS OUR REALTOR) To call my lawyer and request a $5000 hold back for the buyer in regards to the washer and dryer. We were quite lucky we didn't choose to use Ricky's lawyer otherwise it would have been anyone's guess where we would have ended up. My lawyer refused and notified my immediately of this dis-honest practice. Not just the washer and dryer issue however, Ricky was Dis-honest with us as sellers, he was dis-honest with the people we bought our house from telling them we were first time home buyers. I am sure there were many other things that we are yet to discover about Ricky's dis-honest practices. I will never use him again personally I can't see myself speaking of him in a positive light. I chalk this experience up to karma for using a new agent vs using our tried tested and true agent. - Jay R

Reply:    Jay, Thank you for your review. I do sincerely apologize if you felt my services weren't to your GREATEST Expectation. I always go above and beyond, to services my client with their Real Estate Needs. I give every client 200% of my attention and efforts. We seen homes through-out the Greater Toronto Area, My weekly Updates on Volume of Buyer Showings & Showing Feedbacks. We had some Good Laughs together on our Journey, we did certainly have FUN along the way. But the important part to me was we tried to enjoy those moments, while knowing this was the biggest investment and transition for you and your family. From the Sale of your Home to the Purchase of your Next. However the allegations you put forth are obviously NOT TRUE and DISHEARTENING. I'm a big believer in HONESTY, TRUST, & TRANSPARENCY between myself and my clients. If you felt this wasn't the case from me. You have the right, as a consumer, to contact Real Estate Council of Ontario (RECO) to file your case. I wish You and Your Family all the Best in your Future Endeavours. Regards, Ricky Bola
