More About Me

Helping you live your best Florida life.

In 2021, Ray Collins helped 34 clients buy or sell $22 million dollars in real estate, ranking him in the top 2% of local Realtors. This qualified him for Coldwell Banker's prestigious International President's Elite award.  He finished in the Top 1000 Realtors nationwide among Coldwell Banker/Realogy agents (3rd Q, '21).  He is on track to produce even more in 2022. 

Why?

Ray spent his previous career in media & marketing.  He's been able to parlay those skills and tenaciousness into real estate.  His background as an award-winning TV newscaster enables him to produce a higher level of listing video than any other agent in the area.  Having covered this region for decades, he knows the area, has a lot of contacts and a lot of satisfied clients.  

Florida Realtor Magazine did a full-page article about his approach to real estate--and he was honored on-stage at the Florida Realtors Association's annual convention in Orlando in 2021.

Ray is also an elected official in Sarasota County...a media trainer/publicist...and tennis travel writer. He is originally from Buffalo, NY, where he leases an annual billboard each winter to recruit new clients to sunny Florida.
