John Raymond: Strategic Leadership Meets Local Expertise

As the driving force behind Raymond Realty Group, John Raymond has established himself as one of New Hampshire's elite real estate professionals. In just five years, he's risen to the top 2% of all agents in the state, with team performance reaching the top 1%—a testament to his results-driven approach and exceptional client service.

John's accolades speak volumes: alongside partner Kerry, he was recognized as the #2 duo team for closed transactions within Coldwell Banker Realty across all of New England for 2025. He's RealTrends Verified, placing him among the top 1.5% of real estate professionals nationwide, and holds Zillow Top Agent status backed by dozens of glowing 5-star reviews praising his responsiveness, professionalism, and ability to deliver results.

Based in Meredith and leading offices in Center Harbor, Gilford, and Bedford, John brings an impressive array of credentials to every transaction. As a Guild Member of the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing—based on multiple $1 million+ transactions—he specializes in high-end properties while maintaining expertise across all market segments. His professional designations include Certified Real Estate Negotiator (CREN), Certified Expert Listing Agent (CELA), Certified Business Development Agent (CBDA), Certified Buyer's Agent (CBA), and New Home Certified Professional (NHCP).

Before real estate, John spent 20 years running a successful executive recruiting firm supporting the Big Four consultancy industry nationwide—experience that honed his strategic thinking and relationship-building skills. As a New Hampshire native and member of the Lakes Region Board of Realtors, John possesses deep appreciation for the state's diverse offerings, from mountain vistas to lakefront tranquility to coastal charm. This insight allows him to help clients not just find a property, but discover the right place to call home.

Kerry Raymond: Caring Expertise Rooted in Community

Kerry brings a unique blend of professional expertise and heartfelt dedication to her real estate practice in the Meredith area. With over 30 years of experience as an occupational therapist and former business owner, she approaches each client relationship with exceptional attention to detail and genuine care—qualities that transform potentially stressful transactions into seamless experiences.

Her background in healthcare and business ownership has cultivated an unparalleled ability to anticipate needs, solve problems proactively, and advocate fiercely for her clients. Kerry is known as a strong negotiator who combines strategic thinking with a compassionate touch, ensuring clients feel supported and confident at every step.

Deeply rooted in New Hampshire—having grown up here and raised her family amidst the state's picturesque landscapes—Kerry's connection to the region runs far beyond professional expertise. Her intimate knowledge of local communities, market nuances, and what makes each area special allows her to match clients with properties that truly fit their lifestyle and aspirations. Whether you're buying your first home or selling a cherished family property, Kerry's commitment to providing a smooth, successful experience is unwavering.

Kelcey Raymond: Legal Precision Meets Client-Centered Service

Kelcey brings a distinctive advantage to Raymond Realty Group: the analytical rigor of a former attorney combined with a genuinely personalized, client-focused approach. Her background practicing law in roles closely connected to property transactions—including work with a national title insurance company—gives her practical insight into transaction structure and title considerations that keeps deals moving smoothly from contract to closing.

What sets Kelcey apart is her patient, non-salesy style. She takes time to truly understand each client's unique goals and priorities, then tailors her strategy accordingly. Her detail-oriented nature ensures nothing falls through the cracks, while her calm, practical perspective helps clients navigate important decisions with clarity and confidence. This approach has earned her a reputation for making complex transactions feel manageable and straightforward.

Raised in New Hampshire, Kelcey has deep appreciation for the state's diverse communities—from close-knit neighborhoods to the balance of natural beauty and accessibility that draws people to establish roots here. She earned her B.A. from the University of Maryland and her J.D. from George Washington University Law School, credentials that complement her on-the-ground knowledge of what makes New Hampshire special.

Outside real estate, Kelcey enjoys quality time with family and friends, exploring the state's vibrant restaurant scene, and traveling—experiences that keep her connected to what truly matters when finding or selling a home.
