Rafael Ortiz

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.
