Andover-based William Raveis team led by Matt Witte and Deborah Lucci earns top national and local honors on the strength of 2,000+ homes sold and more than $1 billion in closed sales volume
ANDOVER, MA USA, October 1, 2026 -- The Lucci Witte Realtor Team at William Raveis Andover has been named the #1 Mega Team in Massachusetts by sales volume in the nationally recognized RealTrends rankings. The team was also voted the #1 Real Estate Team in both Andover and North Andover for 2026 by Bestofsurveys.com, Zillow Top Agent, Local Expert Agents on Realtor.com, and earned FastExpert "Best of the Best" 2026 honors — a rare sweep of national, regional, and hometown recognition.

Serving Andover, North Andover, North Reading, Lynnfield, Reading, Boxford, and the greater Merrimack Valley, The Lucci Witte Team has closed more than 2,000 home sales representing over $1 billion in volume, earning 1,000+ five-star client reviews along the way.
Behind the results is a leadership structure that is unusual in the industry. Team leaders Matt Witte and Deborah Lucci split responsibilities: Witte directs day-to-day operations and client service, while Lucci leads recruiting, training, and business development. Unlike most teams, they pass business to their agents rather than competing with them for leads. .
"Our model is simple: leadership works for the agents, and the agents work for the client," said Witte. "When our agents aren't competing with their own team leaders for business, every ounce of their energy goes into the people they serve. That's why our clients keep coming back, and keep sending us their friends and family."
The team pairs its agents with a full-time support staff, three in-office administrators, a director of operations overseeing marketing and technology, licensed transaction coordination, and inside sales support, so agents deal with clients, not paperwork. That infrastructure shows up in the moments that matter: when one family relocated to Colorado before their home sold, the team managed the entire sale from staging to closing in their absence. When a $1.7 million listing stalled on the market, the team diagnosed the problem, guided the owners through new hardwood flooring and professional staging, and re-listed the home, selling it for roughly $70,000 over asking.
"Anyone can sell a perfect house in a hot market," said Lucci. "The measure of a team is what happens when a home doesn't sell right away, and that's where our experience, resources, and honesty make the difference for our clients."
Witte's expertise is also recognized nationally: he is the TV host of the Emmy-nominated show American Dream and has appeared as a guest expert on Real Estate Rockstars, the #1 real estate podcast.

“Many people, when they first smell Chinese incense, describe it as smelling like Chinese medicine,” says Shanghai-based incense master Sun Na. “And it’s true, the classic Chinese incense we’re talking about is primarily medicinal in character.” She points to a spherical censer, a vessel designed to burn incense. “In winter, you could put it under the blankets to scent and warm the bedding,” she says. “If you had trouble sleeping, calming herbs could be added. This is what we call zhi wei bing –...

The queue outside Bar Leone isn’t just for its acclaimed cocktails. More than a few guests are making a pilgrimage for Leone’s signature smoked olives – cheekily called “the world’s best olives (maybe)” – and its mortadella sandwich, with layers of thinly sliced mortadella, creamy whipped ricotta and tangy pickled chillies sandwiched between crispy focaccia. Up the road at sister bar Montana, the pulled-pork sliders have their own following. Not long ago, bar food in Hong Kong usually meant a...
