Why Work With Ray Rausa?
Here's what our satisfied customers are saying about us:
What a Guy! We cannot say enough great things about Ray! We bought our first house 3 years ago in Bradenton, he was the sellers agent. We thought so highly of him then we had to try to find him when we decided to upgrade and buy another home, as well as sell our current home. We are real estate investors in NY, well versed in the buying and selling process there. Florida is an entirely different, very fast paced process. You must have an A+ realtor, and Ray is your man! He is not only what we consider an expert in his profession, he is just a great man. I called him morning, noon and night and he was fast to respond, kind, and took care of any questions, or concerns we had. He walks you through every single step, and is present for everything himself. Ray is personable, positive energy, detail oriented, efficient, and he has quality contacts for any type of contractor you may need, which you will need especially if this is your first home in Florida. From the sellers perspective, he has also been amazing; detail oriented, professional and again helps you through with his knowledge and experience. We had three homes on our street that were for sale, and we were the higher priced property (better looking too), and our house sold first. There are many factors that can sell your home quicker, you need good advice on what you can do to get your home ready for sale, the marketing package, and your realtors willingness to work deals. Set yourself up for success by starting out with the right realtor, it matters. We feel we teamed up with the right person! The power is in the relationships and this is what you will get with Ray Rausa at Michael Saunders. Thank you Ray, we appreciate all you have done for us throughout this process! Samm & Matt

Working with Ray was an incredible experience for Danielle and I. From the very beginning, he brought a level of long-term thinking, attention to detail, and industry knowledge that made us feel completely supported and confident throughout the home-buying process. Ray pointed out things we never would have thought to consider—from big items like roof life and inspection red flags to smaller but critical details like contract types, negotiation strategies, and neighborhood dynamics. What really stood out was Ray’s patience and kindness. He took the time to sit down with us and walk through every detail, making sure we fully understood our options before moving forward. Cost was a big deal for us and he gave me a full understanding of the entire cost breakdown for every potential property. His timeliness and flexibility made the entire process feel smooth and convenient, even when our schedules got hectic. Thanks to Ray’s guidance, Danielle and I found the perfect home at the perfect price in the perfect neighborhood, and we truly couldn’t be happier. We’re so grateful for everything he did for us and couldn’t recommend him more highly.

In 50 years as property owners/managers in. NYC we have never dealt with a realtor who is as honest, dedicated and ethical as Ray Rausa. We are return clients of his and cannot recommend him highly enough.

I truly cannot thank Ray enough for everything he did to support me during such a difficult time. His kindness, guidance, and generosity meant more to me than I can ever express. With his help, I made it through one of the most challenging chapters in my life, and I will never forget it. His service was not only professional—it was compassionate and personal. I’ll always remember it, and I won’t hesitate to recommend Ray to anyone who needs someone they can truly trust. With love and heartfelt thanks,Gerri

Ray is an exceptional realtor who combines extensive knowledge with a genuine and accommodating personality. He played a crucial role in helping my fiancé and me find our dream home. Our search spanned five months, covering areas from Myakka City to Lakewood Ranch and Sarasota. Throughout the process, Ray was patient and supportive, quickly getting us in to make an offer when the right opportunity arose. He expertly negotiated a great price and ensured we received fair credits for any necessary repairs on the property. If you’re in need of a dedicated and skilled realtor, I highly recommend Ray!

We had a wonderful experience with Ray! He and Noelle listened to what we were looking for, kept our budget in mind, and found us a beautiful home.We are coming from New Jersey, and what could have been a very difficult experience for us was made much more enjoyable by Ray’s efforts to keep us updated with texts and videos. From the moment we met, we felt so comfortable that we were in the very best hands to make our dreams of a Florida home into a reality.We had such a wonderful experience with Ray that we actually had our sister and brother-in-law use him to find their new home, which he did in record time! We have bought & sold quite a few pieces of property and, honestly, have never had a better realtor than Ray.

Working with Ray to find a Florida property in the Greater Sarasota area was a phenomenal experience. He was extremely knowledgeable about the myriad areas and patiently educated me about the nuances and features of each. He patiently listened to the details of my requirements and helped me tour numerous properties. I never felt pressured or rushed and felt confident with Ray guiding me.. I eventually bought in the Lakewood Ranch area and cannot thank Ray enough for the guidance and exposure he gave me to the area. Ray is the best of the best in his business and i wholeheartedly recommend him for all your real estate needs. Thank you Ray. John and Cristina Ciatto
