About Ray Dunlevy
Ray Dunlevy is the owner and principal broker of Dunlevy Realty located in beautiful, historic Jamestown. A Rhode Island Native, Ray returned to his home state after a 20-year career with the U.S. Marine corps. As an officer, Ray guided his troops through tough situations by balancing risk with bold, but well-executed action. This experience has been very helpful in building a new career as a specialist in "distressed" properties.
Ray actually began investing in real estate during his military career. He obtained advanced degrees to further his education of all aspects of the world of real estate. As he continued to learn about real estate and distressed properties, he began to teach others what he had learned.
"I quickly realized that I needed to concentrate in one area, distressed properties, if I was going to offer the best service for my clients. If clients want the best, most professional service, then they need someone who has focused all of their energies to learn every aspect of their special area of expertise. I believe that I have done exactly that," Ray said.
Ray is a senior instructor for the RI Association of Realtors and was voted the Educator of the Year Award. Ray also teaches various real estate courses at area colleges and universities. He has served on a number of boards and committees for the Washington County and the Newport County Board of Realtors. He has earned the GRI designation and is a Certified Buyers Representative.
All of the agents at Dunlevy Realty are experienced in the foreclosure and distressed marketplace, but they are also fully qualified to handle conventional real estate. "Geographically, we are well positioned to handle all of Rhode Island," Ray explained.
Ray is very much aware that some people stay away from bidding on distressed properties due to the many misconceptions developed about these types of properties. Ray admits that inexperienced buyers may find that trying to buy a distressed property can be complicated, difficult, frustrating, and intimidating. "If you don't know exactly what you are doing in the distressed market, find a professional who does!" Ray pointed out. That is why Ray now works exclusively with clients in the bargain, distressed and foreclosed area.
According to Ray, the RI market for foreclosed and distressed properties still favors buyers. He points out that historically low interest rates have combined with innovative mortgage programs to make home buying easier than ever. "If you ever thought of buying a home, even if you were not able to in the recent past, this is the very best time to try. Conditions have never been more favorable!" Ray emphasized.
