I was born and raised in the Los Angeles area but move to the South Bay in 1996 and have been selling real estate in this area for over 16 years now. I started with Cornish and Carey Real Esates in 96, and the company was purchased by Coldwell Banker in 1998. I stayed with CB until 2006 when i was given a fantastic opportunity own part of the Los Gatos branch of Sereno Group Real Esate. Since 2006 our company has grown to 6 offices and we just won the award of "best companies to work for in the bay area" fora 3rd straight year. Sereno Group continues to have the highest "per agent" volume in Santa Clara County and we always in the top 3 companies in market share.

Although my office is in Los Gatos, i have sold properties on 24 cities and 4 counties over the past 16 years and continually sell over $20 million in real estate every year.

Los Gatos, Saratoga, Campbell, San Jose and all of Santa Clara County are my areas of expertise.

As a fellow board member for a local non profit real estate housing organization, I have had the pleasure of watching Chris help our organization thrive. His real estate expertise has helped grow Senior Housing Solutions to a 14 home, 66 unit low income housing success story here in the south bay. His leadership expertise has helped bring this organization out of some tough financial times and has provided a solid foundation on which we can continue to grow. He has represented this non profit in 8 transactions over the past 6 years and all of these homes closed successfully and without problems

Chris and his extended family have been a long time client of our firm. I have always been impressed with Chris' professionalism and the way he conducts his business here in Santa Clara County. As one of the largest and most respected accounting firms in Santa Clara county, we strive to do business with people that share our core values and business practices. Chris absolutely fits that profile. I would highly recommend Chris to any of my clients who need real estate services in the bay area

I cant say enough good things about Chris. He has been a close friend and trusted real estate advisor for my business and personal real estate needs. He is connected to the community in so many ways, including non profit work, little league, consulting, and his childrens school activities. Chris knows the town of Los Gatos and surrounding communites better than any realtor i have ever worked with. You are in great hands with Chris

Chris has been helping our family with all real estate related issues for 16 years. He has gone above and beyond the normal requirements of a realtor in most of our real estate transactions, inculding an international land deal and multiple investment properties. he has also helped all three of my daughter and their 80 yr old grandmother purchase properties here in the south bay. I couldnt recommend Chris highly enough. He is a wonderful person and fantastic realtor

“It’s one thing to List a home for a Seller, or find a home for Buyer. Real Estate today is more complicated. Chris’s distinguishing strengths include excellent market knowledge, and his ability to manage any Purchase Contract, Title, Appraisal, Lender and Property Inspection challenges as they arise. An ability to discern “what matters”, and a sense of humor at the right moment doesn’t hurt….”

Doug and Christine Merritt Client, Buyer

Chris Ray is one of the most helpful and attentive Real Estate Agents I have ever met. He met with my husband and I months before we bought our home to understand every aspect of what we were looking for in a home and neighbourhood.
Chris was able to find us a dream home on a dream street and we are so thankful that he had the ability to act quickly and get us the home we are now so happy to live in.
Anyone who is just considering moving should speak with Chris. He has a friendly, no-pressure way of simply explaining the market, the options that fit your budget and is realistic on what to expect.
We will always use Chris Ray for our Real Estate needs.

Chris was a full time resource to handle the entire process, start to finish for the purchase of my first home. He is a very knowledgeable real estate consultant and I felt fortunate to have him assist me with the home buying process. He was patient with all of my questions and helped me make educated decisions throughout the process. I look forward to working with him again in the future

I have known Chris Ray for 5 years. We have coached multiple youth sports together and I have found Chris to be an honest man who has a passion for his family. Instilling in his boys, values of respect, fairness and sportsmanship. Chris has been a good friend and I would trust him in business matters. Chris will sell my home when I retire in the near future.Chis is a trusted man. The Los Gatos community is lucky to have him.

Chris,

I have found you to be friendly, a gifted negotiator and strongly aligned with my values of professional integrity. Your service on the purchase of no less than 8 of my past residential housing purchases has been truly above the crowd. Why else would I keep coming back to you for my residential real estate needs!

Keep up the good work
