Firm names Beth Cote as Brokerage Manager for its Old Lyme and Niantic brokerages and Heather Gagnon as Brokerage Manager for its Mystic brokerage
New London County, Conn. (February 16, 2024) — William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty announced today that Beth Cote, formerly a top-performing real estate agent with the firm’s Old Lyme brokerage, is now Brokerage Manager for the firm’s Old Lyme and Niantic offices. In addition, Heather Gagnon, who previously managed these two locations as well as the firm’s Mystic brokerage, will now have a dedicated role as Brokerage Manager for Mystic. This strategic realignment comes during a period of strong growth for the company in the Connecticut Shoreline region.
Cote brings nearly 30 years of residential real estate sales experience with in-depth knowledge of the Connecticut Shoreline market, and she has consistently ranked among the top producing associates at William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty. She began her career as Rookie of the Year and continued to earn prestigious distinctions with small boutique firms as well as at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage before joining William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty in 2021, where she received the Platinum Sales Award for production in 2021 and 2022.
Cote additionally possesses a marketing and Management Information Systems background and is incredibly well-versed in the technology side of real estate, with expertise in social media and digital platform advertising. In her new role, Cote is excited to bring her passion for real estate to benefit and support the firm.
“My goals are to help the company grow its position in the Old Lyme and Niantic markets and to collaborate closely with our agents to help them develop and excel in their businesses,” she said.
Heather Gagnon, who has been instrumental in substantially growing and supporting all three offices, will now shift her management focus to overseeing the Mystic brokerage. She will also help to support growth in the Noank, Groton Long Point and Stonington markets, and in northern areas such as Woodstock and Pomfret as well as Rhode Island.
“I’m looking forward to directing my energy to the Mystic office, which I opened in 2021, and further developing my incredible team of agents as we all work together to expand our presence in Connecticut and beyond,” Gagnon said.
“We are excited to welcome Beth as she embraces her new role, as well as to celebrate Heather’s achievements in propelling substantial growth within the territory,” said Paul Breunich, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty. “I am eager and optimistic about the promising opportunities ahead as we approach this market with even greater strength and capacity.”
