Ray handled 100% of every aspect in selling this property from a detailed comparative analysis, listing, negotiating contract details, excellent referrals removing company
 and contractors to complete or certify fix up items related to the property inspection, negotiated an excellent and fair  selling price, and insured that virtually everything was completed correctly and timely. Over a four-month time
 frame, he handled everything, kept us advised and responded to questions and updates the same day and usually within one hour. A truest very good experience considering all the stress of moving and selling a home we occupied for twenty nine years.

09/14/2017 – Jalisa Monroe – Client, Buyer

I was in a position where I needed to find a place to live as soon as possible. After finding a cute and affordable condo online, I reached out to Ray who made the magic happen in about 5 weeks! Aside from the whole experience happening rapidly fast, Ray is also extremely knowledgable. Not once  did I leave his office completely clueless on what was happening because he always made sure to keep me updated. Whenever I asked him to explain a term or process again, he did so without hesitation. He also has a very calm demeanor, which actually helped me out when I became nervous as the closing date approached. Overall, I am very happy with how everything turned out. I am thankful for the team I worked with, and 5/5 – I would most certainly recommend Ray to someone else. Thank you for everything, Ray! P.s. – The wines were delicious!

Lots of small and large problems came up during my move: couldn’t get an electrician or some other issue. Ray was there with his network of people and just kept things moving. Lots of stuff came up that I could just text Ray and he gave me advice and help and I was out and gone in about six weeks  from the time I was ready to post the for sale sign.

Ray is a great communicator. He follows through on requests quickly. Responds quickly through phone or email. He was helpful also when working with getting repairs done on time to meet settlement date. I live out of town so that was helpful.

Don Callow – Client, Buyer

Ray was our agent when we bought our condominium. He was sensitive to our scheduling needs, and very responsive when we wanted to look at multiple locations. He arranged all viewings initially for us to occur over one afternoon, and based on what we were looking for, suggested a couple more possibilities. His valuation of the property we ultimately purchased was spot-on, which allowed us to make a competitive offer. I would use Ray again in the future.

Ray helped my fiancé and I purchase our very first home. He was extremely knowledgable about the homes in the area and gave us first time home buyers great advice. He was very patient with us as we looked at many different homes and changed up what we wanted halfway through the process. We are very happy with our new purchase and are grateful for all of his help during this exciting yet stressful time. We highly recommend Ray to anybody who is looking to rent, buy or sell in the area.

He knows the Bowie area well and was extremely informative. We are going to use him to sell the house and refer him to other family members who are getting ready to sell.

Julie Nicely – Client, Buyer

Ray helped me and my husband purchase our first single family home; he was a pleasure to work with–very friendly, honest, and knowledgeable about the Bowiearea market and house construction. His frequency of communication was just right, frequent enough that we knew he was on top of everything, but not so much that we felt pressured in any way. He was very patient with us, as we turned down many houses, and was full of guidance as we made our way through the home-buying process for the first time. We whole-heartedly recommend Ray as a realtor in the Bowie area!

Ray Halleran was completely knowledgeable about all aspects of real estate, as well as the local area and the housing available. He expertly guided us through the entire process, from finding the home to settlement. Also of note, Ray brought us to a brand-new development that we’d never heard of, and it turned out that we found our dream home there! Simply put, without Ray, we wouldn’t have found the home we’re now enjoying, and thanks to Ray, the process couldn’t have been smoother. Ray has my vote as the #1 Realtor in the National Capitol Region!

Ray helped us buy our first home. He patiently walked us through all the in’s and out’s and answered our (sometimes panicked) questions. His integrity is unmatched and we trusted his recommendations and opinions. He also is incredibly knowledgeable about the local market and even connected us with a contractor with whom we’ve been very happy. He was always super responsive – we never felt as if we were just one of the many clients he was juggling. We highly recommend him!

He was always available if I needed to talk to him and he kept me updated on the status of the home visits/views. He is an honest person and very knowledgeable of the Bowie area.

I had a special circumstance, as I was selling my deceased mother’s home from out of state AND had some legal issues to resolve before putting the home on the market. Ray was very helpful in getting work on the home done for me; recommending contractors, being available to let them in the home, etc. His pricing of the home was spot on; the appraisal came in at almost EXACTLY the list price.

Meghan Sheperd – Client, Buyer

I felt as though Ray took an honest, no pressure approach. We were assigned this agent when we requested an online showing of a home. We previously used another agent, which we liked, to buy our first home. When we met Ray during the showing, we knew immediately that we wanted to stick with him. He was knowledgeable on home quality, having worked with a builder previously, and didn’t oversell. We were very comfortable with this agent and would use him again.

Ray is an awesome real estate agent and I highly recommend him to any future homebuyers. My wife and I were first time homebuyers. Ray had the patience to answer all of our questions and even answer some in advance before we even thought of them. He showed us over 10 homes in the Bowie area and has a very flexible schedule. Great customer service and knowledge of the Bowie/Crofton area. I’m going to recommend him personally to any family and friends in the future who look to buy or sell their own home in the area.

Michael Fuller – Client, Buyer

Ray has been truly great in working with for my first house purchase. Honestly, it was a struggle trying to get a Realtor who would both offer true ‘potential homes’ as well as give quick feedback via phone or email. While going on walk-throughs, Ray was very honest about how it compared to other homes he has seen but also listened closely to what I was looking for in a home and focused on my requests. Homebuying is by no means a quick or easy process, but Ray was on top of it the whole way, he made sure I was prepared for each step of way, from the househunt all the way through settlement- but what I appreciate most is his dedication, often sending updates and emails into the late evenings, (I know a lot of other Realtors who simply push items into the next day).  If your looking for a house to buy or sell I would definitely suggest talking with Ray first, not only is he very knowledgeable about real estate and the community, he’s a great person to work with.

Definitely works hard for you! Ray was my agent while buying a home. We spent a long while looking but Ray was always up to view another house. When we found the right home, Ray did a tremendous job helping us get it. He always responded to calls/emails right away and helped me through the decision making AND loan process no matter what questions I threw at him. I would definitely recommend him to any person looking to buy or sell a property, and plan on recommending him to as many friends as I can!

This was my first time buying a home on my own and Ray was very helpful throughout the whole process. He took time to explain just about everything to me, he had no problem showing me many homes in the area that I was interested in and even explained things about the houses that I wasn’t familiar with to help me make informed decisions and decide which home was right for me. Ray communicated with me very well and as often as I needed, responding to emails and phone calls promptly and professionally. Ray helped me through the entire process till the very last day of closing and I’m very thankful to work with someone who showed a genuine concern about the decisions I would be making for my first house. I would highly recommend him to anyone and I already have! With Ray, there was no rush, no frustration, just patience and understanding because I was very picky and on a small budget and he still managed to help me find and purchase a home with everything I was looking for on my budget. He’s a great agent to have.

Nancy Franklin – New Home Buyer

Ray was the salesperson that sold us our home, and we just loved the experience. He was so much more people-oriented than the first salesperson we had, and were it not for him, we would not have bought. Since then, I’ve grown to know Ray a lot better, as he lives in our community and has been a fellow board member on our HOA. If you’re looking for someone that will look out for your best interests and make the other party feel good about giving you what you’re negotiating for, he’s really a great choice. We’ve dealt with some pretty contentious issues through the years, and he’s always impressed me with his calm demeanor and fair, ethical, and compassionate look at getting to a solution that makes both parties happy. He has always taken the high road and still makes the best out of any situation. He definitely knows the business, and has proven his willingness to go the extra mile for us – on several occasions.

I purchased a custom home from Ray and became fast friends with him and his family. He believed in the home product that he was recommending. He showed not only a willingness to make my deal happen at a fair price, but also a commitment to the area I was buying in.

My original deal that Ray helped me sign also became an even better deal as the market turned for the worse as a result of his counsel through the process. Ray is clearly a trusted partner and adviser in the buying process and should be consulted with by even the most educated buyer.
