Ray is amazing! I cannot recommend him enough. Seven years ago, we were terrified first-time home buyers and Ray walked us through everything with his incredible knowledge and sense of humor. He helped us through the financing, a crazy Arlington market, and even recommended some fantastic service providers. This year, Ray sold our first home and helped us buy our second. Ray showed us several homes, worked tirelessly to secure challenging financing, and sold our home within 4 days of being on the market- above asking price. He negotiated and advocated for us and ultimately, made our dream home possible! Ray is perfect for you if you want to find or sell your home and have a great time doing it! You will laugh and feel at ease with Ray, but know you have the best realtor working hard to make your dreams a reality. His knowledge of the market, ability to negotiate, recommendations for service providers, and help with financing are all invaluable. I love our new home so much that I cannot imagine moving again, but if I do, Ray will absolutely be the guy I call.

Ray and his staff are incredible. My friends and family have relied on Ray for almost a decade to buy and sell their homes. Ray’s knowledge of the business, years of experience, and network helped us sell a townhouse recently for a good price. I know that I can trust Ray to explain the pros and cons of various decisions involved in house sales. Ray and Lisa kept us informed along the way and we sailed through closing with no surprises.

My husband and I have used Ray as our realtor since 1988 when we bought our first condo, then again a few years later when we upgraded to a townhouse for my room for our growing family and then again when we were finally financially able to buy a house. Ray is the best. He is a total professional, absolutely knows the market, is a joy to work with and works his backside off to get you a great deal. He is very intelligent too and combined with his years of experience you just can’t go wrong.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Ray on and off for the past 20 years. In that time I have always known him to be a professional of the highest order. There are many professional who can technically complete the task at hand. However I put Ray in that rare category of a 3-dimensional human being/professional. Competent? Yes! Pays attention to detail? Yes! Listens and anticipates your needs? You bet! Personable? Yes! A decent human being? Double Yes!! Every one of these qualities is abundantly evident when you work with Ray. But despite all these admirable qualities – the one that truly separates Ray out from the pack is his ability to turn something that is ordinarily stressful into something that is FUN. You heard correctly. As hard as it is to believe, I have always found my business transactions with Ray to not only be pleasurable, but downright FUN. This is where the 3-dimensional human being comes in…to turn a major event in your life…like purchasing or selling a house…into a positive memorable experience takes not only skill but a special human being. Those of you have worked with Ray already know this. I look forward to working with Ray again and I give him my highest recommendation.

I was a first time home buyer and wanted to buy a place in DC. My situation was pretty unusual because I was going through a special program that not many agents familiar with called HPAP and DC Bond. Ray and his team made the process of buying the house so easy for me that now I want to buy another property through them. The third place Ray showed me I bought. He gave me good recommendations about it and said it would be a great investment. I totally trusted him and now it’s been almost 3 years since I leave at my house and I love it! I want to buy another property now and looking forward to work with Ray again!
