As the year comes to a close, William Raveis, a well-known name in real estate, has taken a significant step forward by acquiring Jordan Real Estate (JRE) located in Nantucket, Massachusetts.
While specific financial details of the deal remain confidential, this acquisition is poised to strengthen Raveis’s market presence.
Expansion in the Northeast and Beyond
With established operations flourishing in the Northeast as well as Florida and South Carolina, William Raveis is keen on expansion, having already made notable acquisitions this year.
Earlier in 2024, they enhanced their portfolio by welcoming Carson Realty in South Carolina and previously, the Molisse Realty Group in late 2023.
JRE, formerly known as Lucille Jordan Associates, has been a cornerstone of the Nantucket community for over 30 years, operating as a boutique brokerage.
Co-owners Gloria Grimshaw and David Callahan took over in 2007 and have continued to uphold the esteemed legacy of founder Lucille Jordan.
Their team is deeply engaged in local boards and nonprofit organizations, underscoring JRE’s commitment to giving back to the community.
Under the umbrella of William Raveis, JRE will now benefit from enhanced resources while remaining locally rooted.
Community Engagement and Support

He noted that their involvement directly aligns with Raveis’s mission of providing exceptional service to clients seeking to buy, sell, or lease properties on Nantucket and beyond.
Grimshaw and Callahan expressed their excitement about joining forces with William Raveis.
They highlighted the benefits of integrating into a broader support network that spans various markets.
This partnership allows them to better serve both agents and clients, particularly in luxury markets such as Naples, Palm Beach, and Hilton Head.
Robust Support and Resources for Agents
The advantages they mentioned stem from Raveis’s connection with Leading Real Estate Companies of the World, an esteemed international network that boasts 140,000 agents and 550 brokerages globally.
Wendy Beaulieu, who serves as senior vice president and regional manager at William Raveis, emphasized the commitment of the company to act as an operating partner.
She stated that the firm is focused on helping agents thrive by providing robust support and resources.
Beaulieu also pointed out the company’s dedication to fostering talent through training, coaching, and innovative technology solutions that enhance marketing and sales.
