Mike McGrory, Shane Bronson, Anthony Lamacchia, Dave Karoly, John Millen
Thursday, August 1st – Today at the company’s annual meeting and celebration at Thompson Island in Boston, Anthony Lamacchia announced additions into the Lamacchia Companies’ Leadership Team and several other adjustments to handle the company’s explosive growth. In the last year, the company has added 125 Realtors and 10 staff members, tripled its Relocation business, opened its sixth office in Leominster, launched its Offer now Program and Lamacchia Realty has doubled its homes sold this summer compared to last.
Lamacchia has always had a larger than normal management team given the amount of the agents in the company because Anthony is determined to maintain the support and structure and continue to provide the wide variety of products, services, and tools it offers to its Agents and staff. Now that the company has grown exponentially and plans to continue this growth, adjustments were necessary.
