Ray , Licensed Real Estate Broker & Co-Founder, [email protected]

Ray Addison, a Harlem native, brings two decades of experience in real estate development, syndication, asset management, and nonprofit housing strategy. He has overseen the development and management of more than 1,300 units of affordable and supportive housing, including residences for seniors and individuals transitioning out of homelessness.

Guided by faith and purpose, Ray’s leadership has shaped housing policy and operations across New York City. He has held key roles at Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of New York (Preserving Housing Division) and served as Chief Operating Officer of the Village of Nyack Housing Authority, managing contract compliance and operations for public and mixed-finance portfolios—particularly in under-resourced, low-income communities facing acute housing insecurity. A staunch advocate for the underserved, Ray devotes his time, talent, and treasures to causes closest to his heart—advancing housing justice, racial equity, and community development. He envisions housing as sacred ground for healing and upward mobility, connecting low-income families to wraparound services that restore dignity.

Working With Us

Come be a part of a truly amazing, open, collaborative, and innovative culture.

Based in Brooklyn, NY, Pushing Forward Realty’s focus on innovation has dismantled standard 50/50 agent-broker splits with a fair-play incentive model – 90 percent of sales revenue earned goes directly to their agent. The firm has generated more than $25 million dollars in sales revenue since its 2019 launch, despite operating during a global pandemic. Driven by a model that serves its agents through equitable commissions and a culture of respect and trust, Pushing Forward Realty is making its mark as a new kind of brokerage firm. Following an initial $300 fee, its innovative incentive model includes no monthly fees and a team-based culture.

Office Location

Pushing Forward Realty’s office is located on the border of Bushwick – an emerging cultural center of Brooklyn – and Bedford Stuyvesant which is known for its historic and beautiful brownstones.
