With over 20 years of experience in real estate sales and before that, a background as a mortgage banker, I bring a deep understanding of high-end property markets. My real estate career began in the competitive Northern Virginia market before my wife, Carla, and I made a heartfelt decision to relocate to Florida’s breathtaking Emerald Coast—a region we fell in love with after years of visiting its beautiful beaches and vibrant communities.
Settling in The Portofino on Pensacola Beach, I embraced a new chapter serving discerning clients who seek the unique coastal lifestyle that defines this area. I also hold licensure as a Mortgage Loan Originator in Florida and Alabama, enabling me to offer buyers complete and more detailed strategic guidance throughout their home financing journey. ↓
After only a few months in our new dream location, life presented profound challenges. Carla was diagnosed with leukemia, and her courageous battle was fought until November, 2023. This deeply reshaped my perspective as I decided to stay in this area, and strengthened my commitment to this remarkable community. Today, I channel my energy into building a client-focused, personalized real estate practice that draws from my experience in dynamic markets and an authentic connection to this coast.
One thing that sets me apart is my dedication to truly understanding the buyer’s mindset—helping clients navigate the many distinctive communities along the Emerald Coast with insight, transparency, and care. This is a “destination market”, one in which many are moving in and very few are moving out. This is destined to continue for decades.
For sellers, I limit my active listings to no more than 3 at any given time, and never 2 on the same block.
PUT the listing in the MLS;
PLACE a sign on the lawn;
PRAY that another agent brings you a buyer.
I specialize exclusively in upper-end coastal properties because this is where my passion and expertise meet. If your needs fall outside this arena, I’m happy to refer you to a trusted colleague.
Real estate transactions can be complex and stressful, but I believe the process should also be rewarding and enjoyable. I look forward to helping you achieve your coastal lifestyle goals with integrity, diligence, and a touch of friendly fun.

Ray’s well-planned approach to promoting and selling our home resulted in multiple offers on Day 2 at prices beyond our expectations.
