Rafael Ortiz brings a rare combination to real estate: deep

care for his clients and the work ethic of a seasoned

entrepreneur. As a top-producing agent with Compass,

Rafael is known for helping buyers and sellers navigate

the market with confidence, clarity, and heart—earning a

place among the top 10% of agents nationwide in 2024.

Rafael’s approach is both personal and professional.

Outgoing and kind, yet grounded and humble, he connects

with clients from all walks of life. Whether he’s

negotiating on their behalf or walking them through their

first showing, Rafael brings a calm presence, detailed

preparation, and unwavering follow-through. He sees

every transaction as a reflection of his reputation—and

treats his clients’ goals like his own.

Raised in a hardworking family of entrepreneurs, Rafael

learned the value of commitment early. From age 15, he

worked his way up from part-time jobs to assistant

manager, eventually helping run his family’s commercial

cleaning business—overseeing payroll, operations, and

client communications. That background taught him what

great service looks like, how to build trust, and how to

solve problems quickly and thoroughly.

Today, Rafael is an integral member of the Kilbride &

Cagnina Group at Compass—a top 10 team in New Jersey

that closed 342 transactions and $173 million in volume in

2024. Backed by their proven systems and scale—and

driven by his own values and vision—he delivers high-

level expertise with hands-on, client-first care every step

of the way.
