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?
