(March 28, 2014) —William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty today announced that Armed Forces veteran Prez Palmer has joined the company and will be based in the firm’s Stratford brokerage. Palmer, who entered the real estate industry in October 2013, brings both leadership and finance experience to his new role as a real estate sales professional.
