Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty Named to Real Trends Top 500 Nationwide Brokerages by Volume

Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to have been named for the first time to Real Trends Top 500 Nationwide Brokerages by Volume, with a 2022 sales volume of $770,369,195.

“To earn this designation as we approach our tenth anniversary is a true honor,” says Judy Chace. “We’re still a young company, relatively speaking, and we have far fewer agents than many brokerages on this list. I think this achievement speaks to the power of uniting local expertise with a global powerhouse like Sotheby’s International Realty.”

“This supports my belief that doing things differently really works,” adds Ray Mott. “We strive daily to elevate the experience of buying and selling real estate for our clients and our agents alike, and I feel this proves that the market needed our unique approach.”

Agents of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty take a sophisticated and artful approach to marketing to unite extraordinary homes with extraordinary lives. Backed by the power of an exclusive luxury brand, the firm continues to raise the bar.

Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty Lists the Historic Sandy Point Stables in Portsmouth, Rhode Island

Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty is proud to announce the listing of 30 Sandy Point Farm Road in Portsmouth, RI for $5,830,000. The property is offered by Judy Chace and Kylie McCollough of Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty.
