I was born in Indianapolis and have lived in Central Indiana all my life. I graduated from Mooresville High School and currently reside in Plainfield. I live with my lovely wife and team lead here at Stewart Home Group – Christina Hamilton. We have a blended family with three girls ages and one son. Our youngest Katelyn is currently enjoying show choir and track. Our middle daughter Allison is a r
eal estate agent and also a member of our Stewart Home Group team, Homes with Hamilton. Our oldest daughter Kate works in a dentist office and owns her very own photography business which is soon to branch out into weddings and bigger events. Our son Darien is an air crewman in the United States Navy. We couldn’t be more proud of our kids, their accomplishments, and their contributions to our community and country. I began my journey as an Appraiser Trainee in October of 2004. In December of 2006 I became a Licensed Residential Appraiser. I opened my own company Advanced Appraisals, LLC in January of 2007. Over the past 19 years I have thoroughly enjoyed appraising real estate and meeting new people. My love for real estate and the real estate industry have grown over the years which prompted me to get my Real Estate License in November of 2022. As a dually licensed real estate professional I have my finger on the pulse of the current market and trends, I know what lenders are looking for during the loan process, and I know what appraisers are looking for during their appraisal process. I am happy to bring all my knowledge to the table and help my clients find their dream homes. Where you live becomes the center of your universe: your “home base” and a place where memories are made. Even an investment property can have a profound effect on your life’s story—when chosen correctly, it becomes long-term financial freedom and a vital part of your well-diversified portfolio. Whether a buyer, a seller, or an investor, I think of my clients as family. Lean on me—I am here to keep the process fluid, successful, and as low-stress as possible. Thanks to a combined 19 years as a real estate professional in Central Indiana, I am proud of my reputation for excellent negotiation skills, cutting-edge marketing, and invaluable connections, both locally and throughout the state of Indiana. Not quite ready to buy or sell, but curious about neighborhood options, local schools, my techniques, or current real estate “buzz”? Don’t be shy—reach out to me. Think of Ricky Hamilton as your Central Indiana Concierge. If I don’t know the answer, I will find it.
