RAIMONDS “RAY” ERINS

After graduating from Ramapo College with a degree in Psychology, and after a short stint at an accounting firm, Ray decided sitting at a desk all day wasn’t for him.  Joining his mother, Kristina Erins, at Weichert Realtors, Ray started his real estate career in 2007.  Consistently finding new opportunities and growing the business, Ray was the 2018 Weichert Realtors Companywide Team Leader in Sold Listings.  Much of Ray’s success in real estate could be attributed to his dedication and sense of obligation to provide the absolute highest level of service to his clients, as well as his 24/7 mentality and work ethic.

Through successfully closing such a large number of real estate transactions, Ray has developed a strong network of contractors, attorneys, mortgage brokers, home inspectors…etc who are instrumental in the team’s success.

Ray, a 25-year Sparta resident, and his wife, Cassandra, have a four-year old son Lukas, and and one-year old daughter, Laila.  Ray has always felt a deep connection with his community and has always had the desire to help others.  Consistently volunteering for various organizations through the years, in 2015 Ray joined The Board of Directors of Samaritan Inn, a local homeless shelter that assists families transitioning to self-sufficiency.  In 2018 Ray became President of the Board.  Working along with the Director of Samaritan Inn, Ray was instrumental in Samaritan Inn being granted $100,000 from Impact 100 Grant Garden State towards opening their planned third shelter in Newton.  Ray looks forward to utilizing his real estate expertise in locating and developing Samaritan Inn’s new shelter!

Sherri Hughes

Sherri Started her real estate career after graduating from Moravian College, Summa Cum Laude. She soon put her business management degree to work. While attending real estate school, and as she started her real estate career, she joined the Weichert Sparta office in 2013.

Her love for real estate and particularly investment properties started as a small child as she watched her father manage his investment portfolio. By the age of 12 she had begged to attend her first closing, and was an expert “assistant” at rental showings.

Her real life experience helped her to excel in selling foreclosures, rehabs, and working with renovation loans. When she’s not at work, she can be found with her family and friends, traveling, or enjoying the outdoors.
