Bio
Rick is the Founder of Rakow Commercial Realty Group and has over 37 years of commercial real estate experience. Rick founded RakowGroup in 1985 creating one of the region’s first commercial real estate companies focused on the needs of tenants.
Rick has been assisting office space users for more than 37 years. After spending 10 years working with an owner of 2,000,000 square feet of commercial space where he represented the owner's position, Rick saw a trend emerging among the more sophisticated tenants. They were bringing in their own leasing specialists to regain advantage lost to landlords and their agents, who do real estate transactions every day. Seizing the opportunity, Rick opened one of this region's first brokerage companies focused on the needs of the tenant; he now runs the largest tenant advocacy firm in the region. Rick has successfully concluded hundreds of transactions over these last 18 years. In fact, Rick has represented tenants in transactions valued at over $100,500,000 in the last 18 months alone!
Perhaps more important, in addition to his business dealings, Rick served on many committees and as Chairman of the Board of Directors for such organizations as Feeding Westchester, the March of Dimes Birth Defects Foundation and The American Heart Association and helped them raise many millions of dollars. Rick also serves on the Board of Directors for Westchester County Association.
