Sotheby’s International Realty is pleased to announce the
addition of real estate brokerage Pat Shultz Real Estate to its
growing team.
As part of Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty’s
growth strategy to attract industry-leading talent, the brokerage
will onboard Pat Shultz Real Estate’s principal brokers
Michael Minore, Joan Lenane and Joe DeMartino and five additional
sales associates to its existing office location at 168
Commercial Street, Provincetown, which the firm opened by way
of acquisition in 2020.
“In 2023, buyers and sellers faced various
challenges, but despite negative economic indicators, our
experienced professionals adapted to market conditions that were
changing at a relentless pace and helped their clients find
success,” says
Colleen Barry, Chief Executive Officer of Gibson
Sotheby’s International Realty. “Pat Shultz Real
Estate’s associates are some of the most productive on the
Outer Cape. This represents the combination of two locally owned
and operated companies at the top of the market, and together we
can build on our established reputations and deliver exceptional
client experiences.”
“Provincetown has long attracted people from all
over the world, and now more than ever, discerning buyers and
sellers here are demanding best-in-class sales and marketing tools
and the highest levels of expertise,” adds
Nicole Rideout Hartwick, Chief Strategy Officer at Gibson
Sotheby’s International Realty. “We look forward to
creating new business opportunities for our agents and elevating
what Pat Shultz Real Estate’s team is equipped to offer their
customers.”
Founded more than 40 years ago, Pat Shultz Real Estate is a
market leader in Provincetown and on the Outer Cape. The
brokerage’s long-standing success originated with Pat Shultz, a
prominent figure in real estate development in Provincetown. Shultz
retired in 1997.
“We are proud to affiliate with Sotheby’s
International Realty, the most trusted and recognized real
estate brand in the world,” says Joe DeMartino, Broker/Owner
at Pat Shultz Real Estate. “The Gibson Sotheby’s
International Realty brand recognition and reach on Cape Cod and
across domestic and international markets is unlike any other.
Larry Rideout and
Paul McGann have managed to build a brand with a local
footprint as strong as its global presence, and a culture that
makes you feel like family. That is extremely rare, and together we
can better serve our clients.”
Gibson Sotheby’s International Realty reported
it achieved $3 billion in sales volume in 2023, making it the #1
