RAF Realty Services
Will Rogers:
"If advertisers spent the same amount of money on improving their products as they do on advertising them they wouldn't have to advertise them"
After a successful career as a reoccurring top producer with major national commercial real estate firms, Ray Fontaine started RAF Realty Services focusing on mountain view custom home lots and land in North Scottsdale, Carefree and Cave Creek, Arizona. To facilitate this specialty Ray launched AzCustomHomeLots.com and his primary interests are with high-end land in North Scottsdale , Carefree and Cave Creek.
Ray and his wife Karen reside on Black Mountain - Reaching 3,500' in elevation this is the most prominent landscape feature in North Metro Phoenix with an abundant variety of wildlife and lushly majestic high Sonoran Desert vegetation and views.
This specialization on bulk land and custom home lots is perfectly in line with Ray's talents to make wonderful things happen on Arizona land. He has brokered and financed mid-rise office and industrial properties with single asset values ranging from $1 million to over $100 million. He was involved in the creation and deal structuring for a number of high quality large scale master planned business parks located along the Interstate Freeway in the vicinity of Sky Harbor International Airport. Ray quickly established himself on Black Mountain by exclusively listing & selling the largest land deal in 3 years stretching across the northeast face of the mountain. In early 2010 he received the designation as Local Listing Broker (LLB) for the FDIC and will be exclusively bringing larger high quality land parcels to market in Northern Maricopa County.
