I initially had my property listed as a "For Sale By Owner" when Ray reached out about potentially listing it with him. At the time, I was under contract, but that deal ended up falling through. I reconnected with Ray, and after he walked me through his listing strategy, I decided to give him the opportunity to take it from there.

Within a week of going live and accepting an offer, we were under contract & closed within 30 days. Ray kept me in the loop throughout the entire process, from inspections and the appraisal to the final walkthrough and Closing. In the end, we closed for $45,000 more than my original FSBO contract. Sometimes, it's best to leave it to the pros, and I'm really glad I did!

I had wonderful experiences twice with Ray during my sales. Both times the sales went easy and smooth with his advice and guidance. Highly recommend Ray if anyone is looking for a realtor agent who is very professional with a lot of knowledge and a good aim.

We’ve been in our new home for a few months now, and we couldn’t be happier! Our kids have adjusted well to their new schools, and the neighborhood is wonderful. Ray, thank you for your patience and dedication in helping us find our forever home. This was our third time working with Ray, and we’ve recommended him to friends and family over the years—he’s practically part of the family now! Especially in today’s competitive market, having an experienced agent like Ray made all the difference. Thanks again, Ray!
