Tim Bray – Broker / Owner
B.S. in Real Estate & Urban Economics – University of Connecticut

Owner of Seaport Commercial, Seaport Real Estate Group, Seaport Auctions & Seaport Advisory.
Co-Owner of Seaport Property Management.

After earning his degree in Real Estate & Urban Economics from the University of Connecticut, Tim Bray began his career with CoStar Group in Washington, D.C. At the time, CoStar was a rapidly emerging commercial real estate information company that would ultimately transform the industry nationwide through research, data, and technology. Tim’s years there helped shape the foundation of his professional philosophy — one centered around research, valuation, market intelligence, perseverance, innovation, and service.

It was during these formative years that Tim developed a belief that real estate should be approached as an advisory business first and a sales business second.

Over time, Tim became increasingly frustrated with many of the systemic issues within the residential real estate industry — particularly the transactional “ring the register” mentality that often places speed and volume ahead of thoughtful guidance, long-term strategy, and client education. Rather than conform to the traditional model, he chose to build something different.

While affiliated with Sotheby’s, Tim founded Seaport Real Estate Group with the vision of assembling experienced professionals from diverse backgrounds who shared a commitment to a higher standard of real estate practice. That vision ultimately evolved into Seaport Real Estate Services.

Today, Seaport Real Estate Services operates as a multi-faceted brokerage and advisory firm built around a client-centric philosophy rooted in research, valuation, strategy, and transparency. The company combines residential, commercial, advisory, auction, and property management divisions under one umbrella, allowing clients to benefit from broader market intelligence and creative problem-solving across multiple sectors of real estate.

Seaport’s approach emphasizes:

Research-driven decision making
Strong valuation principles
Strategic negotiation
Marketing and positioning
Long-term relationship building
Transparency and communication
Attention to detail and accountability
Through this philosophy, Seaport has built relationships with clients, investors, developers, business owners, and agents both locally and nationally.

Tim believes that quality representation comes from focus, preparation, honesty, and the willingness to tell clients what they need to hear — not simply what they want to hear. Seaport intentionally prioritizes quality over quantity, allowing the company to remain selective, hands-on, and deeply involved in helping clients navigate complex decisions with clarity and confidence.

If you are looking for a brokerage that approaches real estate differently — through research, strategy, advisory, management, and execution — we would welcome the opportunity to see if we are the right fit for you.
