PALM BEACH, FL – William Raveis Real Estate, Mortgage and Insurance (WRRE) has expanded its high-end footprint by opening a new office in North Palm Beach, FL, the fourth in the Palm Beach area. This new office further secures a competitive edge in South Florida by broadening the award-winning, family-owned business’ high-end network of ultra-luxury markets from areas in the Northeast like Nantucket, Wellesley, Greenwich, Westchester and Manhattan down to Palm Beach and Naples.
“Across the Northeast and down to South Florida, the luxury buyers are active and making competitive offers, proving their confidence in investing in real estate despite a global pandemic,” said William Raveis, CEO and founder of WRRE. “With more and more people working remotely, we have seen the priorities shift: People want to live in idyllic locations and create their own retreats with every amenity. "We are fortunate to be a luxury brand and experts in this niche, and we plan to continue to expand in high-end markets.”
Located at 1201 U.S. Highway One, the new North Palm Beach branch is well-positioned in a location central to waterfront properties and country club communities on U.S. Highway One, which runs from Maine to Miami. Directly across the street from the new office are condominiums and marina communities directly on the Intracoastal Waterway, with Singer Island to the East, and at least six golf and country club communities within 10 miles of the office.
Led by Principal David Fite, Regional Vice President of Strategic Growth Coco Amar and Sales Manager Nancy Cardone, the talented team of agents was recently joined by several new top-producing recruits: Denise Torres, Stephanie Muzzillo, Tara Fontana Goldstein and Jackie Hanna (formerly with Compass); Angie and Christina Calderaio (formerly with Better Homes and Gardens); and Susan Holt, Claire Wright, Heather Noyes and Susan Kippenberger (formerly Illustrated Properties Real Estate). The total production to date of new recruits is $135 million.
In addition to the new North Palm Beach branch, WRRE has an office on the island of Palm Beach, on the desirable Worth Avenue, as well as Delray Beach and Palm Beach Gardens. The offices represent a diverse real estate portfolio ranging from oceanfront estates to exclusive country club properties to iconic waterfront condos -- all across multiple price points.
“Since Governor Desantis lifted the 14-day quarantine for all travelers in September, we have seen many more visitors to Palm Beach County, and the real estate activity has increased tremendously across all price points,” said Raveis.
With 137 offices in nine states and more than 4,200 agents, WRRE dominates the competitive luxury real estate market with local expertise and a global reach. WRRE was recognized with the Top Global Luxury Brokerage award by Luxury Portfolio International, a global network of 130,000 sales associates across 565 real estate firms in 65 countries. Together with Leading Real Estate’s luxury marketing arm and Luxury Portfolio International, WRRE’s listings are broadcast to the best brokers and the most affluent buyers around the world.
When William Raveis founded the family-owned company 45 years ago, he was the first real estate entrepreneur to identify the agents as their primary customers, understanding that nurturing talent and empowering their agents with the best resources and services to take their business to the next level is imperative for success.
