A luxury experience at every price point.

Top 1.5% of agents nationwide, RealTrends Verified.

Raymond is a 2026 RealTrends Verified Ranked Agent, placing him in the top 1.5% of agents nationally on verified production data. RealTrends, the industry's audited ranking source, reviews actual closed transactions, not self-reported numbers. The ranking is a third-party signal, not a marketing claim.

A managing broker reviewing hundreds of contracts a year.

Washington issues two real estate licenses (RCW 18.85.011): broker and managing broker. Managing broker is the upper tier, requiring three or more years of active brokerage experience, ninety additional hours of advanced coursework, and a separate state examination (RCW 18.85.111). Roughly one in five Washington broker-level licensees hold it (7,952 of 41,754, per Washington DOL).

Raymond holds that license, and uses it. As managing broker for both The Agency Bainbridge Island and The Agency Port Townsend, he personally reviews every contract for more than thirty brokers across both offices, participating in or evaluating hundreds of transactions annually. When something goes sideways at week six, that contract fluency is the difference between a saved deal and a lost one.

Coached by Buffini & Company, trained in the field's most rigorous client-care systems.

Raymond is a Certified Full-Service Professional through Buffini & Company, the largest real estate coaching organization in the world. Buffini coaching clients consistently rank in the top 10% of producers across 35+ countries, and the systems behind every Raymond engagement are the same ones the highest-performing brokers on the continent run.

He has completed 100 Days to Greatness, Pathway to Mastery, Essentials, Pathway to Mastery, Advanced, and Peak Producers, and runs Buffini's 10-Step Purchasing Pathway with every buyer and the Strategic Path to Sold with every seller. Nothing is improvised. Every step has a checklist, a written deliverable, and a follow-up touch.

A full office team behind every engagement, backed by The Agency.

Raymond does not work alone. His office is built on a culture of collaboration, and every client benefits from a coordinated team: a full-time transaction coordinator, an office manager, and a marketing specialist, with additional support from an in-house master interior designer. That structure means listings are launched on schedule, paperwork moves without delay, marketing is produced to luxury standards, and pre-market staging guidance is available to every seller.

Behind that team stands the office's managing partner and designated broker, one of the most respected real estate brokers in Washington State, who provides oversight, mentorship, and a second set of eyes on the most complex transactions.

Behind both stands the global platform. The Agency operates 170+ offices across 15 countries, is the brokerage featured on Netflix's Buying Beverly Hills, publishes the print Agency Magazine, and releases the annual Red Paper market intelligence report. Raymond's clients tap that platform without paying a luxury premium.

Cultural fluency you can actually feel at the table.

A University of Notre Dame graduate with a degree in International Relations, Raymond spent two decades teaching across South Korea, China, and Thailand, and co-founded an international education corporation as its CFO. His spouse is from a different culture, and he speaks intermediate Korean, with deep working experience in Korean and Chinese business contexts.

For clients relocating from Asia or whose families include international ties, that fluency is not theoretical. It changes how he listens, how he negotiates, and how the conversation is held.

A practice built primarily on referrals, rated 5.0 stars.

More than 90% of Raymond's business comes from past clients and personal introductions, with 50+ verified five-star reviews across Google, Zillow, and Facebook. Referrals are not a tactic. They are the result of doing the work well enough that clients want their friends and family in the same hands.
