About
Deep Roots, Proven Expertise

A true native with an unparalleled understanding of the local market, I am a fourth-generation Newporter and the great-grandson of Patrick James Fagan, the builder responsible for most of the homes lining Carroll Avenue in Newport’s historic 5th Ward. This deep lineage grounds my passion for the communities of Aquidneck Island and Southeastern Massachusetts. My professional journey began in the arts, moving to NYC in 1986 to pursue acting, a path that later evolved into a highly successful career in real estate upon my return home in 1994. In 2005, I launched my own brokerage. This led to a significant achievement: building and leading the William Raveis franchise for RI and SE MA. During this time, I recruited and coached hundreds of agents, growing the firm from a single-person operation to a powerhouse generating $300M in sales across five offices with 150 agents. Now, as the Team Leader of The Aquidneck Team, I leverage my extensive, high-level experience, including residential and commercial sales, rentals, investment, expert witness work, zoning, and finance, to guide clients. The team’s focus is on providing the best professional advice for long-term benefits. We all believe strongly in civic duty, often serving on local boards and committees and through churches and schools, ensuring that the team’s service to clients extends to the community.

Responsive and attentive to detail. Arthur guided a family with numerous members through the sale of the family home. He was professional and respectful to all circumstances. It was a smooth transaction due in large part to his advice.

I have purchased two properties with Arthur and in both cases I felt completely secure in the process and results. Arthur seemed to have special insights into real estate and I felt that we were always ready for overcoming any obstacles with ease. From listing to closing and beyond, Arthur knew exactly what to do. The respect and standing he has with real estate people, attorneys, contractors and the entire community served us well. I couldn't have chosen a better agent.

Since then, I have recommended Arthur to friends who listed and sold their house with Arthur. We're still friends! They emphasize that the sale went quickly and smoothly and they felt that they received the best price for their home. They also felt confident that the entire process was orderly, honest, and effective in achieving their goal. They call Arthur a friend now and will recommend him to others.

Best wishes in you real estate project,

From our first meeting,Arthur,was knowledgeable, proactive with our requests, timely with his process, in control of the process ( given I was an overseas purchaser and had not purchased property in the USA before).
An excellent choice of agent.
I now consider Arthur a friend.

Arthur is a man of professional integrity and personal sensitivity who never hesitates to do the right thing -- even when it isn't necessarily the easiest thing.
His data-driven approach combined with his grace and decency makes him a winning combination for anyone weighing the serious matter of buying and/or selling real estate.
I recommend him unequivocally.
