William Pitt – Julia B. Fee Sotheby\u2019s International Realty<\/strong> has elevated two of the firm\u2019s leadership team veterans. Carolyn Fugere and Vincent Socci, will assume new senior roles serving under Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and co-owner Paul Breunich. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carolyn Fugere will serve as Co-President and Chief Sales Officer and Vincent Socci will serve as Co-President and Chief Operating Officer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Breunich cited the company\u2019s significant growth and commitment<\/a> to continued exceptional support for its sales associates\u00a0and clients\u00a0as the primary drivers behind the need for the new positions. The firm is planning on opening new brokerages in Northern Westchester and in Columbia County in the second quarter of 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most recently, the firm opened new offices in Niantic and Mystic, Conn., providing a stronger foothold in the Shoreline region of Connecticut. These openings were the latest in a long-term strategy of expanding the company\u2019s premium services in key markets with brick-and-mortar locations, including new offices in Hartford County, Conn., Irvington, N.Y., and the Berkshires, Mass. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Co-President and Chief Sales Officer, Carolyn Fugere will be responsible for driving sales and agent growth in the company\u2019s 27 offices while continuing to lead the company\u2019s training initiatives for agents and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fugere brings 20 years of expertise in managing, marketing and selling in suburban, urban and rural markets. During her tenure with William Pitt \u2013 Julia B. Fee Sotheby\u2019s International Realty, she has served exceptionally as Brokerage Manager for eight sales offices and managed 30% of all the company\u2019s agents, leading operations in markets including Litchfield County, Conn., the Berkshires, Mass., Larchmont, N.Y. and, most recently, New Canaan, Conn. She also oversaw the launch of a new brokerage operation in a brand-new territory in the Berkshires, Mass., and built the agent roster organically. Fugere is a two-time William Pitt \u2013 Julia B. Fee Sotheby’s International Realty Manager of the Year award winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Co-President and Chief Operating Officer, Vincent Socci will be fully responsible for the operational side of the company\u2019s business. Socci will manage the firm\u2019s day to day operations and oversee the marketing, technology, accounting and relocation departments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With 20 years of experience in residential real estate, Socci joined William Pitt \u2013 Julia B. Fee Sotheby\u2019s International Realty as Director of Marketing in 2009 and that same year was an instrumental part in managing the acquisition of six brokerages from Sotheby’s International Realty, Inc.,<\/a> transitioning more than 300 sales associates. He stepped into the Chief Operating Officer position in 2013 and has since played an integral role in the growth and development of the firm\u2019s presence in all territories. He has also led the company’s digital innovation efforts including the development of its award-winning website and other technology platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBy leveraging Carolyn and Vin\u2019s unique strengths and skill sets, our company will continue to adapt to the ever-changing marketplace and deliver our customers an extraordinary experience,\u201d said Breunich. \u201cI am excited to collaborate with our new Co-Presidents and am confident that today this firm is better positioned than ever for great success in the future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
