I am a William Raveis real estate professional based in Westport, serving luxury buyers, sellers, builders, developers, investors, downsizers, and relocating families throughout Coastal Connecticut and Fairfield County. My primary markets include Norwalk, Westport, Wilton, New Canaan, Weston, and Fairfield.

I specialize in luxury homes, waterfront properties, new construction, investment opportunities, renovation potential, relocation, and senior or baby boomer downsizing. I help clients look beyond a property’s current condition to understand its design possibilities, construction quality, marketability, and long-term value.

Before entering real estate, I spent more than 40 years with Klaffs, one of the nation’s most respected luxury kitchen, bath, lighting, and home design companies. I advanced from warehouse operations to sales and management, ultimately serving as CEO and Chairman. That experience gave me extensive knowledge of home design, construction, materials, renovation planning, merchandising, and the expectations of discerning homeowners.

Today, I combine 7+ years of real estate experience with executive leadership, strategic negotiation skills, and longstanding relationships with builders, architects, designers, and industry professionals. Whether you are buying a waterfront home, preparing a luxury property for sale, evaluating a renovation, developing new construction, relocating, investing, or downsizing, I provide informed guidance from the first conversation through closing.

Success Stories

My agent Joe Passero was incredible. Best RE agent I've ever worked with. Without his help, I wouldn't have been able to unlock the full value of my home. His efforts were above and beyond expectations. Can't recommend him enough. Any client would be lucky to have him represent them.
