The Background

TODAY

The Falk Ruvin Gallagher Team

In 2015, off the success of the aforementioned condo developments, Richard bought the Katie Falk Team. Katie and her team were serving 50+ families a year, primarily in the north shore and downtown. At the time, real estate teams were in their infancy and none were run like businesses. Richard brought this acumen to the team, creating proprietary systems and procedures to tightly dial in the customer experience. He built a team of 20+ specialists, all experts at their specific tasks. Today, with Molly Gallagher as a partner and his son Josh by his side, he and the team serve 200+ clients a year, with annual sales of nearly $200M. Richard and his team sell more luxury homes ($1M+) than any other local team. Last year, their clients homes sold, on average, in less than two weeks and for more than their asking price. That is why a remarkable 95% of Richard’s business is either repeat or referrals from former clients. No other local real estate agent possesses this unique mix of residential architectural design and construction. It’s this 35 years of experience that consistently puts his clients in a position to prevail.

2004 - PRESENT

Development

In 2005, Richard leveraged his design and construction background and began developing a variety of commercial and residential properties. Most notably, he and his partners developed The Blatz condominiums, a 169 unit mixed use development comprising a square block in the heart of the City of Milwaukee. Following that, he and his partners repositioned and marketed Landmark on the Lake and Kilbourn Tower Condominiums. All totaled, Richard and his team have sold in excess of 600 condominium units ranging in price from $100k to over $3M. Because of this unmatched experience, Richard has been tapped to help vision and market the only newly built condominium high rise in Milwaukee, with occupancy for the 230 units slated for 2028.

1999 - 2003

Architectural Design

In 1999, in partnership with Wade Weissmann, Richard launched Weissmann Ruvin Architects (now known simply as Wade Weissmann Architecture). Wade and Richard spent the summer of 1999 traveling the English and French countryside picking up techniques and details that would set them apart. Those looking to renovate or build the finest homes took notice and soon the team was designing homes from the east coast to California. While he sold the company to Wade 20+ years ago, Richard maintains a keen eye for architectural detail and an ability to help clients discern what makes a home truly special.
