Carolyn Fugere began her career in real estate as a sales associate in Litchfield County, Connecticut, where she quickly became a rising star in the local market. Her firm's leadership team recognized her potential and soon offered her the opportunity to lead her brokerage as sales manager.

Fast forward to today: With nearly 20 years in the real estate industry under her belt, Carolyn brings experience and expertise in managing, marketing and selling in suburban, urban and rural markets. From brokering bungalows to beachfront estates, and castles to co-ops, she now is Vice President of Strategic Growth and managing Broker of the New Canaan CT operation for one of the largest Sotheby’s International Realty affiliates in the world with over $5.5 billion in annual sales volume.

In addition to her extensive field experience, Carolyn has an impressive track record of building and leading some of the strongest real estate sales teams throughout Connecticut, New York and Massachusetts. She is a recent two time William Pitt-Julia B. Fee Sotheby's International Realty Manager of the Year award recipient, an honor she received for her performance as a top recruiter with the firm. Her skill set on this front extends to acquisitions, large team affiliations and opening brokerages in new markets.

"One of my greatest passions and perhaps gifts is discovering and developing outstanding real estate talent, both in sales and management," says Carolyn.

Carolyn is known among her industry peers as an inspirational leader and powerful motivator. Her advocacy for continuous learning at every level of the organization, as well as her tireless pursuit of greatness within herself and others, has elevated the firm, the careers of many people within it and the non-profit organizations she has served.
