Nick Ratliff

Associate Broker, Team Leader

I am the Principal Broker of Better Homes and Gardens Real Estate Cypress located in Lexington, KY. I have been a lifetime resident of Kentucky and love everything the Bluegrass Region has to offer. My  mission was to maintain a small boutique feel that emphasized technology without losing that personal service. I graduated from the University of Kentucky with both my Bachelors of Science in Electrical Engineering and my Masters in Business Administration. My time there definitely influenced my love of the Kentucky Wildcats! Although, I attribute my most valuable education to a six week study-abroad in Italy where I focused on business. I became a licensed real estate agent in 2004, and founded Nick Ratliff Realty Team in the summer of 2010. I am also certified in many relocation services including: Cartus Relocation Services, Sibcy Cline Relocation Services, and Sirva Relocation Services.

Why did you create Nick Ratliff Realty Team?
