Hey, I'm Ray, let me help you understand the local market and answer any questions.
There are no such things as silly questions when it comes to buying or selling your home.

I was born in Richmond, B.C and till this day, is still considered my home. Ever since graduating from Vancouver College, my professional history has revolved around working with people. After working in guest relations in Cineplex entertainment, my first experience in sales was in 2001 where I became a communications specialist with Rogers Wireless. My experience with Rogers Wireless educated me on communications technology, and its revolving impact in the world of business. For 6 years, I acted as a consultant, a sales representative and a client relations representative for the company. It was one day, a mortgage specialist that I was helping told me that I was "doing the wrong thing.' It was only a matter of time that a manager of a Real Estate brokerage gave me a call, which lead me to my career choice today.
In 2006, I started my Real Estate career specializing in residential properties in the Greater Vancouver area. I take pride in educating my clients and taking the time to explain the home buying process to its entirety and how to sell a home with efficiency and ease. Over the years, I have researched marketing techniques that helped my personal marketing campaigns to be more effective, which in turn has helped many of my clients get into new homes.
In 2014, I joined Sutton Group - Seafair Realty. As a Canadian established company, the Sutton Group brand has grown coast to coast to be the most recognizable name in Canadian Real Estate. Sutton Group Seafair is a company that not only provides excellence in Real Estate, but is a major contributor to the Richmond community, its charities, and its annual celebrations.
My Philosophy
Real Estate in Canada has existed since 1888, more than a hundred years ago. With the industry rapidly changing along with technology, it has allowed the Real Estate industry to be more efficient than ever imagined. We are able to market homes without newspapers, and are able to write contracts without paper.
The need for Real Estate agents starts and ends with service. As refined as technology is today, it can never replace the aspect of service and representation that has traditionally been the trademark of Real Estate since 1888.
As a dedicated professional, my main goal is to provide a service-oriented Real Estate experience to my clients. I believe that the service involved in traditional Real Estate should be practiced by being physically present to each and every appointment that requires my expertise. Traditional Real Estate service builds relationships, and ensures peace of mind.

Ray was great! It took 4 months to find our new condo and Ray stuck with us every step of the way. When we started, he did an amazing job of explaining the whole process so that we would know what to expect. Every weekend he was viewing condos with us and helping us submit offers. It's a tough market and Ray made sure all of our valuations were fair. Always answering our random questions throughout the whole process. When we finally got our offer accepted he threw in a new dish washer too! Great guy, great at his job. Will be sticking with Ray for all of our future purchases!

We are fortunate when we met Ray Estrella thru scrolling on social media. As first time homebuyers and new parents, we have little knowledge regarding how realty works. Ray walked us through the steb-by-step process at our convenience. He was able to find us a home that we wanted to call it our own home. He was accessible and willing to give us variety of options. We thanked Ray for his constant professionalism, friendly and responsive approached. He knows how to listen to his clients to ensure his giving the best of his efforts. We found a new friendship with Ray and would really recommend him for all your real estate needs. What a wonderful experience! - Sayo Family

“Buying and selling with children and pets can be an extremely stressful ordeal, but not so if you have the right realtor. Ray was always on top of of all aspects of our transition and we even had fun along the way! He really listens to what matters most and works hard to make your dreams a reality. We bought in a very busy and active market and because of Ray’s advice and insights, we paid less than our budget, allowing us to do some renovations right away. I know that without Ray at our side, we wouldn’t have the home our family will grow in for many years to come.”

To start with, Ray is one of the nicest and most informative realtor I’ve ever met. He always treated all of us with respect. We had a very easy sell with him at the helm. We would have no problem passing on his name to family and friends. We actually feel as if he is a friend, not just a realtor. Ray is just a great person! If you pick him to sell or buy a home, you’ve probably made the best decision you could. Ray, anytime you need an endorsement, call me!

Ray was more than instrumental in making our transition from moving from our place of 14 years in Richmond, BC to Lethbridge AB during a very difficult and critical time in the midst of a major pandemic. He patiently guided us in making good decisions which eventually led us to achieve the best possible result of our property sale. Thanks Ray for helping get us to a situation we long aspired and dreamed of.

Like for most, owning a home has always been our dream. As a family of 6, the fact of purchasing a home was both terrifying and intimidating. I guess for these reasons the dream remain a dream. But 5 years ago, with Ray's helped our dream of owning a home came true, we purchased our very first home. Ray is a rare breed of real estate agent, he truly looks after the people and believes in family comes first! 5 years later, he continues to remember us on our birthdays, Mothers & Fathers days, Christmases and other holidays! We are very blessed to know Ray. Pascual Family

Ray’s knowledge and expertise in real estate is outstanding, and he truly does make you feel at ease during the entire process. My husband and I sat down with Ray for our first meeting feeling lost and nervous, not sure that we even wanted to sell our first home. We were terrified that we would sell a home we loved so much and be “stuck” with a home we just settled for. Now we sit in a new home we adore, in a community that we have quickly fell in love with. This is all thanks to Ray’s dedication to finding us the right buyers for our old home, and the perfect new home to begin our new chapter in.
