John Ricco
John Ricco is a native of Greenpoint/Williamsburg, Brooklyn. His family emigrated to America in 1892
from the Naples region of Italy. Growing up in a rough and tumble Brooklyn neighborhood, in the very
beating heart of New York City, truly helped create a unique blend of street smarts and business savvy
that has served John well over the years. As a young man he became a registered representative and
ended up getting a job at Bear Stearns. At Bear, he worked for a man that would eventually become one
of America’s premier money managers, an experience that helps to mold him to this day. During his
tenure there he would have a back stage pass and witness one of the greatest economic calamites in
world history, the 2008 sub-prime mortgage driven bubble collapse.
Upon witnessing the implosion of the economy and disillusioned with the investment banking world he
was ready to try to something new. It was then in 2008 that John opened the famous Grandma Rose’s
Pizza on Graham Avenue, just 4 blocks from his childhood home. Building from the ground up with no
prior experience, he was able to turn his brand into a real success. Winning awards for menu items,
being featured in the Food Network, local TV, YouTube, The NY Daily News, The NY Post, Bon Appetite
Magazine, as well as many other platforms. Grandma Rose’s was a neighborhood institution for 8 years,
doing numerous and wide-ranging community outreach projects and charitable initiatives and literally
weaving the business into the tapestry of his beloved neighborhood was an undisputed badge of honor
for John. After meeting and marrying his amazing wife and starting a family, it was time again to switch
gears professionally.
It was at that point that John started his very successful career in the commercial and residential real
estate world. A passion for the trade erupted in him as out of the gate. As a rookie agent in 2018, he was
able to navigate the shark infested waters of NYC’s world-renowned marketplace with a particular
grace, style and saltiness that made him a very effective listing agent. Looking back, his success was
charted while he was still a green horn on Wall Street. Being born and raised in one of the most
gentrified places on earth, John had a true front row seat for the process of transformation from the
development/re-development standpoint. He also witnessed many of his friends and family sell their
houses over the years to make way for the re-development. Having the esoteric knowledge base
acquired over the years really super charged his meteoric rise. Then, at the height of his rise in the
business, the world shuts down in 2019. Only licensed for a little over a year at this point, John
reinvented himself in the wake of the pandemic years, streamlining and growing his business through
the shutdowns. Today, John is a highly decorated member of the KW Core Group able to seamlessly sell
commercial and residential real estate.
The world of 2018-19-20 is far different from the world of today. As such, John with his keen ability to
read the teas leaves, last year partnered up with Segar Consulting and has developed a division that
deals solely with pre-foreclosures, foreclosures & bankruptcies. This initiative offers unique and custom-made creative solutions for lenders and borrowers to amicably solve their problems in a fair and equitable manner. With new filings exploding daily, this problem will surely get much more profound and being positioned to help recalibrate markets and maximize recovery and outcomes for both the banks and their customer’s is an exciting new frontier so stay tuned for the outcome.
