Ron believes leadership is about creating opportunities for others to succeed.

Known for his energy, optimism, and collaborative leadership style, Ron believes the greatest rewards in business are found in the journey we share every day. Whether helping a client achieve a lifelong goal, mentoring an agent through a breakthrough, or working alongside colleagues to build something bigger than themselves, he finds genuine fulfillment in the relationships that develop along the way. For Ron, commercial real estate is more than buying and selling properties—it's about sharing life's journey, creating opportunities, celebrating successes, learning from challenges, and helping others build lives and businesses they can be proud of.
His philosophy is simple: success is measured not only by the transactions you close, but by the people you inspire, the relationships you build, and the abundance you create together.

āI Knew Mr. Yanks since year 2009. The first time I came to Hollywood, from Port St Lucie, as a realtor, I thought of placing my license with Keyes! Then I was right, Keyes Hollywood took me as if I were part of the family, Ron's hospitality, His comprehension, understanding, talent and knowledge, are powerful tools, but applying mostly is Plus+! Ron is brilliant and knowledgeable and more valuable is that, he is down the earth valuable as a human being. I quite doing real estate back year 2011 to 2016, but when I decided to come back, this year, I felt safe home... with Keyes- Hollywood, and I am catching up with technology, social interaction and behond.ā
āI have found a great leader in Ron, he has not only show me new business opportunities but introduced me to a new lifestyle. There is always room for improvement in the Real Estate business, and there is nobody else like Ron to point me in the right direction.ā
āIt is very apparent that Ron's mission is to assist his agents in becoming top producers. He facilitates classes constantly in order to push every agent to maximize their utility. Additionally, he makes himself available for private counsel, and I find these sessions to be extremely helpful and motivating. Good leaders find a way to help people help themselves, and in this respect, I believe Ron to be very successful and it is why I highly recommend him, and the Hollywood Office, as a great home for any agent.ā

āRon is very supportive, great of good advises, a lot of good energy and knowledge. I am very happy .ā
āRon is a very personable guy, He made me feel comfortable the first time we met, I was impressed with the manner in which he carries himself and for the intensity he brings to the office. Ron' door is always open in the event, an agent needs to talk to him for advice on a deal or anything, He has an amazing way of analyzing the situation and giving clear procedures for direction, his eye is always on the prize and that transcends to the staff and all the Realtors in the Hollywood Office. Ron makes sure there are advanced and experienced Broker' and Realtors to train new people, I found this to be immensely advantageous in getting started because there is so much to learn. The environment Ron sets for the office is amiable, friendly but competitive and most of the experienced people are willing to lend some advice and show the new agent the right direction, as well as the opportunity to merge with the experienced agents or brokers to get your first couple deals done and know how the process works. Ron is a super nice guy focused on his agents and their success, He will do most anything to help the new agent be successful. I have been with Keyes since May, 2015 and I know I made the right choice of Companies to work with and I couldn't have asked for a nicer guy to work with and his 22 years of experience in Real Estate is invaluable, The great thing is he shares his experiences and he's a pretty good story teller, as well.
