Scalise is a recognized leader in real estate sales, nearing 30 years in the industry. Her high energy and passion for real estate have made her a favorite among long-standing clients and brokers throughout the Berkshires. After running her own brokerage firm for almost 10 years,
Scalise said she is honored to join William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty, where she will offer market exposure with a vast global reach and consistent advertising in venues such as The New York Times and Wall Street Journal.
Scalise has a long lineage (three generations) in design, construction and building. Her father is a developer and civil engineer with extensive knowledge of building construction and design. As a result, Scalise gained an appreciation for architectural detail, designing and restoring her own homes over the years. During her time managing her own, self-made brokerage firm, Scalise successfully sold residential homes, condominiums, waterfront properties and land in residential developments, exclusive gated communities and more.
“By joining our firm, Tonia now offers her clients a wealth of market exposure with an unparalleled global reach and resources,” said Kristine Newell, manager of William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty’s Lenox brokerage. “She is also providing our team with her top-notch real estate expertise, and an incredible amount of local knowledge. She consistently embraces the incredible lifestyle of the Berkshires, from the region’s lakes and mountains to its art and culture.”
As an Accredited Staging Professional (ASP), Tonia redecorates homes in a market where packaging and presentation are key, using her clients’ own decor to launch the listing on the firm’s award-winning and far-reaching real estate website.
“I make sure to provide clients with my utmost attention, embracing each transaction as if it’s the only one,” said Scalise. “Year after year, referrals continue to be my major source of business. I intuitively understand my clients’ needs, and search properties to achieve an ideal fit for their dream of the perfect home.”
