About Cain and Company

After Ricky Cain's first few years of selling real estate in the Austin area, it became quite clear to him that there were distinct differences between the levels of professionalism, knowledge and overall caring that were displayed by many of the Realtors he had worked with.  Once the decision was made to start Cain and Company, Ricky made it very clear that he wanted to find a way to send a direct message to potential clients.  He wanted that message to somehow convey that when working with him and his experienced and knowledgeable support staff, the client would receive the type of service that is rarely seen in the real estate industry.  Of course we want to sell your home for the most amount of money and in the least amount of time.  We also ensure that our buyers make an educated purchase decision, and wind up spending as little as possible along the way.  But our main objective is to always exceed any possible expectation you could possibly have, so that you will tell everyone you know about how wonderful your experience was.  Our past clients have experienced the difference and through hard work and determination, we hope to earn your future business.  Then you will see first-hand why and how these three little words became so important to Ricky.
