2023 LAR President: Jaysn Schaener

Jaysn Schaener is a well-rounded individual with a myriad of business and life experiences that aids in guiding him through his real estate career. From the beginning, his life seemed tailored to teach him the necessities of running a real estate brokerage.

The son of a construction contractor in Baltimore, Jaysn has participated in all phases of home construction and renovation. This hands-on knowledge is of direct benefit to all of his clients. He learned further team dynamics and dedication while serving in the Marine Corps. The Corps instilled a deep sense of loyalty and dependability that is evident in all his endeavours.  In the further rounding by experience, Jaysn was the co-owner of a towing and repossession company in Richmond, Virginia. He not only managed the day-to-day operation of the company, but was also a licensed recovery agent. Long days and nights were the norm in maintaining a profitable business and keeping positive client relations.

Starting his Real Estate career in 2013, Jaysn has operated as a solo agent, team member, sales manager, and now as the broker-owner of Raven Realty.  The majority of his focus is on investment properties, commercial, and property management. His brokerage was created with the mindset of creating “mailbox money” and steady passive income for his investors.
