Gibson Sothebys International Realty, Bostons premier luxury
real estate firm, displayed tremendous growth and achievement in
2015. In addition to adding a number of high caliber agents and
opening a brand new office, the firm exceeded the incredible
billion dollar sales volume closed mark for the third year in a row
(source MLS).
This achievement is an amazing feat for a company our size
having to operate in a marketplace that was very light on
inventory, stated Larry Rideout, Gibson Sothebys International
Realtys CEO/Owner. He noted as they move forward in this ever
changing world, their continuous success is attributed to three key
factors – Momentum. Growth. Foundation.
MOMENTUM The quality of agents that have chosen
to join Gibson Sothebys International Realty over the past year
continue to make an impact in Boston, Cambridge and the surrounding
areas. We continuously strive to take our service to the next
level. I can say with confidence that the agents we have added over
the last twelve months will represent the integrity of our brand in
every facet, noted Paul McGann, Gibson Sothebys International
Realtys Owner/President.
Momentum in 2015 for Gibson Sothebys International Realty began
with the addition of one of Bostons top producing agents Michael
Carucci. Carucci consistently ranks in the top one percent in real
estate sales volume for the Greater Boston Area. The culture and
best in class management is what really stood out with Gibson
Sothebys International Realty. Ownership cares and it shows, said
Michael Carucci. It didn’t take long to see how the Sotheby’s brand
enhanced our existing established local brand. This combination
brought new business we would not have otherwise received.
GROWTH The opening of a brand new office
conveniently located on Massachusetts Avenue expanded the firms
exposure in Cambridge. As a result, Gibson Sothebys International
Realty recruited some of the areas finest talent.
It didnt take long for me to make the decision to move our team
over to help establish the Sothebys brand presence on this side of
the Charles River, noted Lauren Holleran. The Sothebys brand and
Cambridge are an incredibly natural fit for each other. In the few
months since we joined, weve already exchanged business with other
Sothebys International Realty offices in Dallas, San Francisco, New
Delhi, and Maine – it is amazing to be part of a network recognized
for the quality of the brand and the agents associated with
that.
Furthermore in Bostons Waterfront, Gibson Sothebys International
Realty moved into a new space at the former site of Elite Boston
Landmark Realty where they acquired Toni Gilardi and her team. Toni
consistently ranks as one of the top agents in the historic North
End/Waterfront where she has been a community fixture for decades,
thus strengthening their presence in Bostons Waterfront.
Thrilled to be a part of the Gibson Sothebys International
Realty family, Toni Gilardi commented. I decided that merging with
a larger firm was the right course of action after owning my own
business for 31 years. I knew the Sothebys brand was a perfect fit
and now am able to offer my clients services that I could not in
the past.
In response to rapid growth, Gibson Sothebys International
Realty is in the process of doubling the size of their Back Bay
office located at the corner of Newbury and Dartmouth Streets.
FOUNDATION Gibson Sothebys International Realty
is known for its culture which has consistently been that of a
family. All members of the Leadership team have been extremely
supportive of their staff being sure to stay one step ahead of the
competition, said Cathy Marotta, a veteran that has been with the
company for over 30 years. It is truly a pleasure to work for such
a well-established brand. When meeting with a potential buyer or
seller I do not have to say much; the brand sells itself.
Gibson Sothebys International Realty has grown significantly
since joining the Sothebys International Realty brand. With the
integration of new technology the firm will continue to see this
tremendous growth throughout 2016.
