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.
