The William Raveis story has been a remarkable one and the company just opened its hundredth office, the first in Manhattan. Having lived and worked in the major counties of Connecticut and the major cities of the northeast (New Haven- 25 years, Litchfield - 20 years, Hartford - 10 years and 5 +/- each in Boston and New York) I feel uniquely qualified to express an understanding of these areas and create or convert solid value in the real estate assets located in each.

Experience
I began working in the real estate field right out of college operating in a family real estate company, General Land Co. and in conjunction with an affiliated home building company, Mattatuck Homes in the greater Waterbury area.
I moved into commercial development towards the end of that stint, pulling together two major projects, 7 acres in downtown Waterbury and 10 acres at the intersection of I-84 and I-291 in Southington and Cheshire between 1996 and 2004.
Areas Covered
The nearby towns of which I have gain the most recent "on the ground" experience include Westbrook, Clinton, Guilford, Saybrook and the mouth area of the Connecticut river.
However, over the course of my career, I have worked in new home construction and sales in a broad swath of Central and Western Connecticut, specifically, Litchfield, New Haven, and Hartford Counties.
Niche Marketing
I am a National Association of Realtors certified Seniors Real Estate Specialist or SRES. As such I have been and continue to be trained in all aspects of Real Estate pertaining to the "senior" generation, of which I am a new entrant. Some of the important issues I focus on are:
