The kids are grown. The house is quiet. Now what?

Maybe it’s a smaller place with less upkeep. Maybe it’s finally building that home office or garden you always wanted. Maybe it’s using your home’s equity to fund the next adventure.

Whatever “empty nest” looks like for you, let us help you enjoy your mortgage. Connect with our team to learn more!

Dear William Raveis Family,
We opened our first Florida office 10 years ago in my hometown of Naples. It started with my vision to expand the company outside the Northeast, with Matt & Molly Lane to help build our Southern footprint from scratch. Our theme is growth and hiring top agents like Tom Campbell, Richard Prebish, Frank Sajtar, Dante DiSabato, John Paul Prebish, Rex Miller, Lesley Garlock and these are only a few who joined early on. We’ve got the best agents in the business!

Five years ago, we expanded to the East Coast: Palm Beach, Jupiter Island, Boca Raton, and Delray Beach. In Palm Beach County Jack Elkins, Michelle Noga, Paula Wittman, Nick Younker, Steve Simpson, and many others are breaking records for top sales and listings. We’re also #1 in Jupiter Island & Mirasol CC. These are very impressive results in just a few short years.

On the West Coast, we continue to dominate the luxury marketplace:
- #1 across the Naples area for homes listed above $3M+
-Outperforming the Naples market by 109% for avg. sale price year to date
- #1 luxury broker in Port Royal with over 58% market share
-Award-winning Vacation Rental Company in Naples 2024 & 2025
-William Raveis Sarasota reports sales volume has nearly doubled over last year

Our successful partnership with Dan Prud’homme and team in South Carolina began in 2023, now we’re in Bluffton Hampton Hall/Westbury Park, Charleston, Clemson, Greenville, Hilton Head Island and Beaufort by Jan 2027. William Raveis is the only family-owned real estate company serving all these luxury markets.

Cheers to our world class team! Reg’l/Mgrs: Nancy Cardone, Carrie Lademan, Owen Tyler, Ryan Bleggi, Cristy Dow, CJ Henderson, Herb Mehlman. Mtg/Admin: Chelsea Garlock, Gerardo Aragon, Elliot Dunn, Gloria Gonzalez, Shannon Yoder, Emily Shortell, Ian Fernandez, Darcie Burnett, Lene Fernstrom, Kendra King, Carmelita Matus, Carrie Pierce, Todd Richards, Daniel Seybel, Kayla Rickett, Brie Thornton, Diane Rollo-Datz, Brian Tresidder, Ryan Weiss, Tatyana Ysaguirre & Neal Harten.

We outshine the competition by a wide margin, which puts us in a great spot as our busy season begins.

GO TEAM! With gratitude, Bi

Dear William Raveis Family,

At William Raveis, the engines of innovation are always running, so we engaged Heavenly, our London-based advertising partner, to help us develop an exciting new media campaign for 2026-2027. Below is an outline of what to expect, with more details in Tell-All Tuesday.

We kick off our campaign in September and October with:

-TV, Streaming, and Radio Spots—over 200 outlets across the Northeast will air Ryan and Chris’s commercials.

-Ryan’s video begins: We Represent Innovation, with a message about our Raveis365+ AI technology platform behind every agent at William Raveis.

-Chris’s video opens: We’re proud to set the highest standard. Only William Raveis has Elite Concierge Services, so when you’re ready to make your next move, choose William Raveis.

-Our Print Advertising Campaign takes its inspiration from the art world—over 100 magazines and newspapers ads to elevate our luxury brand with fine art, the medium of luxury, timeless quality, purpose and uniqueness.

-Direct Mail, Emails & Social Media—we’ve created simple messaging that speaks to our commitment to entrepreneurism, innovation, simplicity, integrity and family values. Under the umbrella of Who Represents You Matters, each powerful theme is revealed every month through April.

-Our NEW Art Campaign video on raveis.com and signage in 140+ offices coming soon!

Please plan your personal marketing strategy from September through April 2027 around our comprehensive Art Campaign, including Ryan and Chris’s videos, art-themed direct mail as well as digital and social media assets available in Maxa.

Go Team!

With gratitude,
Bill

Here’s something I tell every client before we write an offer: the price of the house is rarely what catches people off guard. It’s the taxes, the insurance, and whether there’s room in the budget if rates move before closing.
That’s where our in-house mortgage professionals come in — they sit down and model all of it out together, so you know exactly what you’re signing up for before you fall in love with a house.
If you’re hoping to close before the school year starts, let’s have that conversation first. The house is the easy part.

☀️ Summer Sales Meeting in Lexington! 🏡✨
Such a great afternoon with our William Raveis Lexington team! We took our sales meeting on location to Keri Caron’s beautiful listing at 209 Waltham Street in Lexington for a fun summer luncheon. 🥗☀️
There’s nothing better than bringing our agents together outside the office—sharing ideas, talking strategy, discussing what we’re seeing in the market, and celebrating all the exciting new listings coming our way!
Great energy, great conversations, and a great team. 💛
Collaboration. Connection. Market knowledge. That’s what makes our Lexington office so special.

Dear William Raveis Family,

One of the joys of leading a family business for 52 years is working alongside my two sons, Chris and Ryan – they’re the best in the business, and now my granddaughter Charlotte Raveis is learning the ropes!

Charlotte will be finishing her summer internship at William Raveis HQ before heading back to Boston College this fall. We’ve invited her to sit in on our Executive Team discussions, and Charlotte frequently joins Chris in the field. Last week, they visited Cape Cod and Nantucket, with over 100 agents, sales managers, and support teams turning out to network, have fun, and learn what’s new at William Raveis.

In two short weeks, we’ll be rolling out our beautiful new marketing campaign. Please watch Chris’s TV Commercial for October where he explains our value proposition with Elite Concierge Services and The Highest Standard because Who Represents You Matters…it’s terrific. Next week, I’ll present the entire 2026-27 Media Campaign, including a month-by-month schedule for TV, streaming, and radio commercials, print ads, direct mail, social media, along with a sneak peek at our exciting new website video…stay tuned!

Everyone is rowing in the same direction with Raveis365+ and Cloze. Along with my summer roadshow and Chris and Ryan’s local office visits, Christa Ross (SVP of Career Development) is following up with hands-on training opportunities. Together, our objective is 100% of our sales force using Cloze by Sept 30—no one left behind.

Go Team!

With gratitude,
Bill
