A team player both in and out of the office, Max Vigliotti
exemplifies the qualities of an MVP. The Stamford, Connecticut,
native has made Boston home through lasting friendships and devout
loyalty to Beantowns local treasures. Read more about the South
Boston resident and expert in our agent spotlight feature here.
Though a lot has changed in Maxs life since his days as an
undergraduate at Stonehill College, perhaps even more has remained
the same. Max has cheered on former baseball teammates as they
ascend to the professional leagues, while remaining a close friend
and confidant. He has made the big move from Easton, Massachusetts,
into the city, and even brought some college buddies along with
him. Through every change, one thing has remained consistent: when
he finds something exceptional, he doesnt let it go.
This value acts as a guiding principle in all aspects of Maxs
life. A self-described creature of habit, he frequents the same
restaurants and surrounds himself with the same tight-knit group of
friends. The South Boston resident can often be found at Lincoln
Tavern on West Broadway after work, where staff know him for his
friendly demeanor and usual dining group.
My friend group doesnt really change, he admits. Friends are
like family. One friend in particular has played a crucial role in
Maxs life. Pat Tobin, a former college classmate, has been around
since the days of early morning practice and away games. Now, an
affiliate of FBC Home Loans in Boston, Pat works with Max on a
professional level, while still getting some time in on the
diamond. The two coach a little league team together in the South
End. Going on his seventh year of coaching, Max cites this
experience as perhaps one of his most defining as a Boston
resident.
Every kid who signs up gets to play for free, he explains of the
league, which is privately funded to provide kids from the South
End, Dorchester, and China Town among other neighborhoods a chance
to play the game that he loves so much. Through his many years of
coaching, Max has had the opportunity to watch kids grow up through
mud-sliding homeruns and candid conversations about life. For
someone who values consistency and comfort, being a source of
stability for those who may not have it is precious to Max. When
reflecting on this, one player in particular sticks out in his
mind.
He was 10 years old when he met Max on the first day of pratice.
Through nervous energy and overwhelming excitement for the season,
Max noticed something special in the young player; he was extremely
polite and well spoken for someone just on the brink of
double-digits, seeming just a few steps ahead of all the kids
around him. He would go out of his way to say thank you and ask
questions, aligning with Maxs own values of loyalty and respect.
Most incredible, however, were his baseball skills.
The two have kept in very close contact since that day seven
years ago. Now, Max is helping the standout player get into
college. Through close connections forged in his days at Stonehill,
Max has been able to put the youngster in contact with current
coaches and recruiters on the baseball team. He has been to a
showcase at the school, and is hoping to attend after graduating
high school. Though Max may humbly say it is he who has been most
greatly impacted by their relationship, its clear the two have a
special and incredibly positive bond.
Relationships like these are a defining feature of Maxs life,
and his is path tothe Sothebys brandwinds in a similar way. Max
recalls a charity event in 2009 when looking back on this journey.
It was here that he met BethDickersonthrough a mutual friend. A
prominent member of the Gibson Sothebys International Realty
community, she encouraged him to follow his passions at a time when
he was unsure what that really meant. Extremely drawn to real
estate, Max began studying to get his license. After finding out he
passed the exam on New Years day, Max picked up the phone to call
Beth. He cites this as a pivotal moment in his career and the two
have remained close ever since.Now, he continues to foster his
tight-knit relationships atSothebys International Realtywhile still
finding success on the baseball diamond.
