Bio
As a husband and wife team, Rick and Tammy Ramsay, owners of Ramsay Realtors, don’t take that lightly; they are very grateful to have earned that trust from the community, with two generations of their family having worked hard to gain it.
Ramsay Realtors was established back in 1974 by Rick’s parents, Eric and Joyce Ramsay, who were partners both personally and professionally. Originally in the life insurance sector, Eric Ramsay was introduced to the world of real estate by Nicholas Racanelli, Sr., another familiar name in the community. Well-liked for his integrity and business acumen, Eric experienced success quickly and developed his real estate business executing land deals. He played an instrumental role in residential developments, including The Admiralty, Southwood Estates, Captree Landings, Pathey Gardens, Emerald Woods, Windcrest, Providence Park and Baywoods.
Choosing to follow a different path, real estate was not on Rick Ramsay’s original agenda. A graduate of George Washington University, Rick initially had his sights on selling stocks on Wall Street, not houses off Main Street. However, the stock market crash of October 1987 had Rick changing his path towards real estate. He worked and learned under the guidance of his parents for nearly a decade. In 1997, Joyce suddenly passed, prompting him to step in as partner to his dad and assist with the everyday dealings of the business. Rick worked side by side with his dad until 2004, when Eric was passed from lung cancer. Rick took over the family business after his father’s
With hard work and dedication, and in a loving tribute to Eric and Joyce, Rick and Tammy grew the company from an office of 12 agents to one of 53 with over $270 million in sales in 2021. Ramsay Realtors is now one of the leading real estate offices specializing in luxury waterfront residential and commercial real estate listings, industrial properties, and rentals.
The south shore is a very special place; it is not just an area of expertise for Rick and Tammy, it is their home. It has been home to the Ramsay Family for over fifty years. The first-hand knowledge gained from living in an area for several decades is extremely valuable when offering guidance and assisting others in finding a home in the area. Real estate aside, the Ramsays are deeply rooted here, and their commitment to the community is evident from their philanthropy.
When not in the office, Rick spends most of his free time with his boys. When they were younger, Rick never missed a game, be it on the baseball field, lacrosse field or tennis courts. He coached little league for eight years and was always an encouraging voice on the tennis courts. Growing the family business was a full team effort, but always took a back seat to raising their three sons.
