About Raymond

Why I don’t just sell houses

I’m not a broker who shows up at closing and disappears. I’m a Setauket native who cut his teeth buying, financing, and managing properties in Stony Brook, Port Jefferson, and Shoreham—then spent more than a dozen years in New York City EMS before switching to real estate full-time. That background taught me how to read a market, move fast when it matters, and keep a cool head when the pressure’s on. Today, I use that same instinct to help buyers, sellers, and investors in East Setauket and beyond make decisions that actually fit their lives—not just their spreadsheets.

My process

From strategy to closing

In my role at Douglas Elliman, I advise clients through every stage of the process—from pricing strategy and negotiations to property analysis and transaction management. My background in EMS taught me to remain composed under pressure, communicate effectively, and make informed decisions quickly, skills that guide my work today. Whether working with buyers, sellers, or investors, I focus on delivering results that align with your goals while maintaining transparency and reliability throughout the journey.

How we move together

East Setauket homes don’t sell themselves. Here’s how I get it done.

3The work that matters

Pricing sharp, staging right, and getting your place in front of buyers who’ll pay. I handle the details so you don’t have to.

4The finish line

I walk you through every signature, inspection, and surprise so you close clean and move on—whether you’re buying on Old Town Road or selling in the Heights.
