Ray Morandi

Morandi Properties

Born and raised in Orland Park, Ray Morandi got into the real estate business at the early age of 19. Ray is the managing broker and owner of Morand Properties Inc., and the majority of his business is in the southwest suburbs of Chicago. His passion for the business came from his father, who was on the investment side of real estate. Ray has shaped his business around hard work, honesty, and integrity. Most clients can sense this when first meeting Ray.

Ray's business is largely based on referral's. People are always surprised to hear that Ray doesn't utilize any fancy CRMs or automated marketing. He learned early on that if you give the client an amazing experience through the process of buying or selling, they will always think of you the next time they want to buy or sell. He has a firm understanding that this purchase, in many cases, is the largest purchase his clients will make, and truly has their best interests in mind.

Ray has unsurpassed knowledge of his marketplace. Not only pricing, but also how to set a home up for success on the market. He is obsessed with coming up with fresh ideas on how to make his listings stand out beyond all of the others. His constant communication and follow-up sets him apart. Ray is consistently ranked in the top 10 of all agents in Will County, top 1 percent of all agents in Illinois, and top 100 agents by Chicago magazine multiple years in a row! Ray's devotion to the business, and his clients has put him on top of the industry.
