William Raveis Expands Its Luxury Footprint With Strategic Acquisition And Merging With Town & Country Real Estate

William Raveis Real Estate, the Inman-awarded Top Brokerage in the U.S. in 2023, has announced a strategic partnership with Town & Country Real Estate, a luxury brokerage serving the East End since 2005.

The T&C offices will join forces with William Raveis’ growing network of over 140 offices and 4,500 agents from Maine to Florida. Likewise, the award-winning brokerage, William Raveis, gains a foothold within the greater Hampton, North Fork, and Montauk luxury marketplace. T&C’s founder and CEO, Judi Desiderio, and Managing Partner Janet Hummel will stay on as partners along with more than 150 T&C sales agents.

“We’re delighted to welcome Town & Country to our family company,” said William “Bill” Raveis, Jr., adding, “I’ve gotten to know Judi and Janet over these many months and found our business model, family culture, and entrepreneurial approach to helping the agents aligns beautifully.”

This year, William Raveis celebrates 50 years in business, with Bill Raveis at the helm, sons Chris and Ryan Raveis as co-presidents, and management support. They are on a trajectory for growth, making company acquisitions in top luxury markets along the East Coast.

Chris Raveis comments, “T&C’s stellar reputation for luxury service resonates with clients in the Hamptons and will elsewhere in our footprint.”

This expansion through the Raveis footprint gives our associates the single best opportunity to grow their businesses and service their clients in a unique way bolstered by superior technology and support. We’re excited to grow our business throughout the luxury Triangle—New York City, The Hamptons, Palm Beach, and Westchester County. Stronger together, the possibilities are endless with William Raveis.”

Bill Raveis is confident in their mission. “Our luxury marketing expertise and full-service offerings through William Raveis Mortgage and Insurance help navigate the complexities of buying, selling, and renting properties.
