Ray Keller

Ray Keller believes that hard work and creative adaptability produce success in real estate, just as they do in life. He offers these important qualities to his clients, which in turn translate into incredible service, efficiency, and most importantly, results.

Driven by passion, Ray has an innate desire to please others and to do his best at any task. His fascination with Manhattan real estate, intuitive understanding of the market, and stellar negotiating skills have led him to excel in this business. But what really sets him apart is the genuine investment he makes in his clients. "My happiness depends on their happiness and well-being," he says. "Because I invest so much emotionally in my clients' needs, the quality of my work is naturally raised to another level. As a real estate professional, my job is not all about money; it is first and foremost about people."

An honors graduate of Harvard University, Ray fell in love with New York City during his first visit here just after 9/11. He wasted no time establishing his residence on the Upper West Side after college and launching his real estate career. Ray now lives in one of the city's most vibrant and sought-after neighborhoods, the West Village, with his toy aussie, Tucker. He hails from just outside of Cleveland, Ohio and was raised between Chicago, Illinois and Fort Wayne, Indiana. During college, Ray spent time abroad in Paris, France, where he studied Social Theory, French Literature, and Dance at several French Universities.

His diverse life and work experiences ultimately prepared Ray for the demands of the NYC market. Previously a freelance strategy consultant and research analyst at Harvard Business School's Arthur Rock Center for Entrepreneurship, he has developed invaluable analytical skills. Ray also has a strong creative side; he is a trained dancer who brought some of New York's biggest dance talents to work with Harvard students. Under his direction, the Harvard Ballet Company performed original work by some of the greatest American choreographers of all time, including George Balanchine, Fred Astaire, Twyla Tharp, Bob Fosse, and Martha Graham. Because of his undying passion for dance, Ray continues to perform with the professional dance company, TrancenDanceGroup. He also loves to ski and play volleyball.
