Aventura, FL. – The Keyes Company has announced the
acquisition of the Aventura-based real estate firm Rickenback Realty, Inc. This
marks the fifth brokerage acquired by Keyes and its Family of Companies in the
last five months and the second in Aventura following the August 2017
acquisition of Shorewood Real Estate.
Led by President and Managing Broker Eric Rickenback and Co-Founder Harriet
Rickenback and operating for more than three decades, Rickenback Realty
successfully lists for sale and rental homes and condominiums throughout South
Florida. The firm has 25 agents and generated more than $25 million in
transaction volume in 2017.
Rickenback is merging with the Keyes Aventura office
located at 2822 NE 187 St. Keyes has separately announced the appointment of Marco Zarfati as new District Manager
of the Aventura office. Zarfati has been with Keyes for 18 years.

A longtime supporter of animal rescue initiatives, Eric
and Harriet Rickenback started nonprofit organization Shih Tzu Rescue in 1995.
The organization operates a three-acre kennel in Davie and has rescued,
rehabbed and adopted more than 3,000 abused and abandoned dogs of various
breeds.
Earlier this month, Keyes announced the acquisition of
Boynton Beach-based real estate firm The Realty Pros, which has 43 agents who
specialize in Palm Beach County residential properties.
Through these acquisitions, the agents involved are able
to take advantage of the resources, technology, marketing, leadership and
independent nature of Keyes as they promote their properties and enjoy
increased sales and listing opportunities.
Independently-owned and operated since its founding in
1926, Keyes is extremely active in all segments of residential real estate. In
2017, Keyes generated more than $6 billion in real estate services across its
Family of Companies.
The Keyes Family of Companies is the largest
independently-owned real estate firm in Florida and a Top 25-ranked firm in the
entire United States.
