Personal

I'm Hector Calderon, a Realtor, Author, and Guide whose life bridges the worlds of service, creativity, and spiritual exploration. I grew up surrounded by family, tradition, and stories that shaped my way of seeing the sacred in the everyday. My path has taken me from Los Angeles to London, earning degrees in Communication Studies and Spanish Literature from California State University, Fullerton, and a Masters in International Relations from the University of Essex in the United Kingdom, experiences that deepened my curiosity about purpose, identity, and belonging. Beyond real estate, I'm passionate about life, volleyball, fitness, biking, swimming, theater, music, photography, travelling and food. Through every chapter, whether guiding families toward their next home or inspiring reflection through my writing, I remain grounded in my North Star: to connect hearts, build community, and create spaces of peace and possibility.

Experience

At William Raveis Real Estate, I help clients navigate the home-buying and selling process with clarity and confidence, from thoughtful pricing and market analysis to skilled negotiation and personalized guidance. My approach blends data-driven strategy with an understanding of people?s deeper needs and dreams. I specialize in Westchester & Rockland counties and the greater New York City area, representing buyers, sellers, and investors who value trust, discretion, and a calm, informed experience. Every transaction is more than a deal, it?s a chapter in someone?s life. My role is to make that chapter one of ease, success, and joy.
