Ray Mott was extremely insightful and helpful.

I first asked Ray Mott to represent me in 1994. After that initial experience, I never once considered working with another broker. I was an out-of-towner then, seeking a place to rent for a few summer weeks. I described the kind of property I was looking for --- and Ray listened so carefully and chose so wisely, I ended up buying that same house three years later. For many years thereafter, I rented out the house during summers, and Ray found tenants for me. Everyone knows brokers don’t make much money on rentals, but Ray brought the same thoroughness and good judgment to that assignment as he does to multimillion-dollar deals. I can’t recall a single significant problem with any of the tenants Ray signed up. The secret to Ray’s success is twofold: He gives his clients the unvarnished truth, but always in a reasonable and considerate way --- and with a depth of expertise that makes even bad news (if any) easier to accept. Ray knows the South County market like no one else. If he suggests that you’re asking $75,000 too much for your house, you’d be well advised to listen. Don’t be misled by his gentlemanly manner: Ray Mott is tireless in pursuing his clients’ interests. And nearly every time, he gets the deal done in a way that leaves all parties satisfied. What more could you ask of a real-estate broker?

When it came time to sell my mother's house, I followed my attorney's advice and interviewed various real estate brokers-but it was Ray's compassion and honesty that gave me the confidence that he would truly take care with my mother's home. And he did! Attending to every detail and communicating to both sides, Ray made the process feel seamless. I have bought and sold other properties in both New York and Rhode Island and Ray's professionalism, expertise and commitment stand out. His understanding of the market and the dynamics between buyers and sellers allowed me to trust and let go. When it came time to sell my aunt's cottage, of course it was Ray again, who brought the deal together quickly with the same expertise, understanding and compassion. This is his profession and he is the best, but be prepared to find a genuine person as well.

Ray’s knowledge of the southern RI real estate market, as well as his integrity, is unmatched. After developing a long-term relationship built on trust and patience Ray helped us find the ideal property for our family on the beach. Overall great experience!!!

Thank you Ray at Mott & Chace Sotheby's for all your support, guidance and professionalism during the process of selling our beach home. Our parents bought the home from your mother years ago and it seems right that you be the one to sell it for us. Living in South Carolina and doing business with your office was so easy. Every step along the way was well explained; questions were answered and anything that was needed to prepare the home for sale was done by your office. We appreciated your gesture of providing the beautiful brochure to us as a keep sake. Your excellent reputation and client base made it possible to sell the house with in hours of listing. We thank you for everything.

Ray is an eminent professional and gentleman. Truly a privilege to have him represent us in the sale of our home.

We have had the good fortune to purchase two properties with the assistance of Ray Mott and the Mott & Chase team and consider them the best realty firm in the area. It was a pleasure to work with Ray, given his deep knowledge of the market, calm demeanor, and forthright approach to negotiations. Post-purchase, Ray & his associates in the Charlestown office were a huge help in getting our second property up and running for the summer rental market. We highly recommend Ray Mott to anyone seeking to buy or sell a home. You will not be disappointed! ~ Mary & Jim Mooradian

Ray was the consummate pro. He was highly responsive, gave great advice, and delivered a great result. He knows Quonnie like no other agent, having lived here all his life. That knowledge was invaluable to us. I highly recommend him to anyone considering a real estate transaction in the area.

Selling a home can be an exasperating experience. When the home is a 'dream home' that you hoped would be a 'forever' home because of its pristine beach location,the thought of selling it causes much emotional turmoil. But that's the reality of life when family ties called me to a distant State. Words can't express the tireless dedication , commitment ,and support Ray provided me when it came to be. Arranging for the completion of work required by the inspection process was a God-send, thanks to Ray's relationship with the numerous local contractors involved. Ray's efforts will be forever appreciated by myself and extended family. Gratefully submitted, Iris Fryzel

I began looking for a home in Quonochontaug in 2020. The market was booming and there was limited inventory. Despite that, Ray would call to check in with me every 2-3 months, say hi, share his perspective on market dynamics, was transparent with me around what he thought fair valuations were, and was genuinely interested in my family and getting to know me. As a result of that and, due to his relationships, when he contacted me and said "i may have a home that's a good fit for you, but it may not be", I trusted him. And best of all, he didn't oversell it to me. He told me what it was (and wasn't), was knowledgeable about all the ins and outs (e.g. electric heat, construction date, cosmetic changes required) and shared his perspectives on the opportunity. Furthermore, he listened to me. I was very "ridgid" with what I was willing to pay and was transparent in what I was and was not willing to concede, and he respected that, playing within the boundaries that I had set. Finally, he was responsive, and ALWAYS available to me when I had questions. Never once did a phone call go unanswered or not responded to within that same day. This differentiates Ray; in a world where everyone's busy, he found time to speak to us on all the minutia that was likely an annoyance to him, but mattered to us. I'd work with Ray on all my real estate needs in the future, and would HIGHLY recommend Ray to anyone looking for a trusted adviser to support their real estate needs. -Roy & Courtney Gibbs
