William Raveis Expands to The Hamptons and North Fork Long Island
In a significant move for the real estate landscape, William Raveis, the award-winning brokerage recognized by Inman as the Top Brokerage in the U.S. for 2023, has announced a strategic partnership with Town & Country Real Estate (TC). Based in the prestigious Hamptons and North Fork regions of Long Island, TC is a well-established luxury brokerage that has been serving this exclusive market since 2005.
This collaboration not only enhances William Raveis' presence in the luxury real estate sector but also strengthens its existing network of over 140 offices and 4,500 agents stretching from Maine to Florida. The merger signifies an expansion that allows both parties to leverage their strengths in the highly sought-after market of upscale properties.
Judi Desiderio, CEO of Town & Country, and Janet Hummel, Managing Partner, will remain integral to the company, alongside their more than 150 sales agents. The partnership heralds a new chapter for both companies, as they work together towards reshaping and expanding their services in the luxury real estate domain.
Bill Raveis Jr., the founder and leader of the company, expressed enthusiasm about welcoming TC into the William Raveis family. He highlighted that his relationship with Desiderio and Hummel over recent months revealed strong alignment in business philosophies, particularly regarding family culture and collaborative approaches in supporting agents. This merger comes as William Raveis celebrates its 50th anniversary, marking half a century of success and growth in the competitive real estate landscape.
Chris Raveis, co-president of the brokerage, emphasized the importance of Town & Country's esteemed reputation for luxury service, suggesting it resonates well with clients in the Hamptons and beyond. He believes that this partnership will further enhance customers' experiences across their broad operational footprint, which includes high-demand areas such as New York City, Palm Beach, and Westchester County.
Desiderio also recognized the potential this merger holds for both TC and William Raveis. She stated, "Our trademark has always been adapting to the needs of buyers, sellers, and renters. This expansion provides our associates the best opportunities to enhance their businesses with superior technology and assistance, allowing us to meet the evolving needs of our clientele."
The partnership aims to harness the strengths of both firms to ensure seamless service delivery for clients and agents alike. From luxury marketing to offering comprehensive services through William Raveis' divisions, including Mortgage and Insurance, they are geared to navigate the complexities involved in buying, selling, or renting high-end properties.
Moreover, Bill Raveis is confident that the opportunities for growth are vast and exciting, especially with several strategic acquisitions in discussion that aim to broaden their reach into Florida, Southern regions, and other areas across the Northeast in the upcoming months.
This merger not only creates a significant player in the luxury real estate market but also amplifies the operational capabilities and resources available to both sets of agents, further ensuring that their clients receive the best possible assistance in an ever-competitive market.
