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 over $250M in sales. Now, as the Team Leader of The Aquidneck Team, I leverage my extensive, high-level experience, including residential/commercial sales, rentals, investment, expert witness, 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, committees, and through churches and schools, ensuring that the team?s service to clients extends to the community. My wife, Meredith, and I have lived in Portsmouth since 2000 and proudly run the Wynham Farm Sanctuary.

Testimonials

Arthur shepherded me through a complicated purchase of the home I really wanted. He has a seemingly endless reserve of patience and energy, and a fine relationship with other agents. He is really good at this business! In fact, agents from other firms seemed to look to Arthur for guidance on real estate procedure and for good judgement.

I also want to say that Arthur conducts his life and business in a well-balanced fashion. He does what's right, not just what it takes to make the deal. I felt that my interests were safe and secure while we achieved my goal without faltering.

It would be hard to find a better agent.

Sold a Single Family home in Middletown, RI.
Arthur was great. We had less than a year to sell a home to settle an estate and had received very depressing evaluations from other agents. Arthur was realistic, positive and helped us every step of the way. He knew the area extremely well, did plenty of research and knew exactly what the home would sell for. His advice during the "fix up" stage was extremely helpful and saved us quite a bit. I highly recommend Arthur.

"Had an amazing experience with Arthur. He was always incredibly responsive and
had a vast knowledge of the market and the process. He was a valuable asset as
we looked for a new property and was able to give us actionable info and details for
every property we looked at. I cannot recommend him enough!"

"If we could give 6 stars we would. Arthur is someone you want on on your team.
Although dual agent transactions are relatively rare, Arthur handled this one with
complete professionalism and attendant care to the buyer's needs. Answered calls
when he could, texted when he couldn't talk then, chased seller for every detail
imaginable and worked with lawyers and finance stakeholders with all due care.
Whichever side of the Newport real estate equation you're on, you want Arthur and
his team on your team."
