INNOVATION ABOUNDS AT THE ANNUAL WOMEN OF FIRE AWARDS
“I
nnovation” is one of the corporate buzzwords that in many contexts doesn’t actually mean anything, but this issue of The Commercial Record is full of innovative solutions, experiences, technology and women.
Jim Morrison’s story is, in some ways, not a new one – an exploration of the ways technology can improve customer relations and agents’ time management isn’t exactly groundbreaking. But the best of technology is truly innovative and changes the worlds of the people who use it (or invent it). It also moves incredibly quickly; we could have a technology column in every issue of CR and never run out of topics to discuss. Meanwhile in Stamford, Indeed.com recently announced it will remain in the city and expand its workforce to 1,200 employees. And Steve Adams’ covers Stamford’s attempt to rebrand itself as “innovation place,” part of a grander plan by Gov. Dannel Malloy’s administration aimed at retaining jobs at major employers in the state. Malloy is going to have to get really innovative – and probably down and dirty – to succeed, but it is a worthy endeavor. This issue also contains the profiles of the seventh annual Women of FIRE award winners. The Women of FIRE – finance, insurance and real estate – awards were conceived as a celebration and recognition of female movers and shakers in traditionally male-dominated industries. They are our way of acknowledging the tremendous effort and determination exhibited by these women, who rose to the top of challenging
industries in difficult times. These very different women, reflecting all facets of the finance, insurance and real estate industries, have one vitally important common thread: they are making a difference. With their words and deeds, choices and actions, they are making a difference in the lives of their clients and constituents, in the industries they serve and in the lives and livelihoods of the women coming up behind them. Often without any overt intent, they are trailblazers, visionaries, groundbreakers and yes, innovators. That is why The Commercial Record honors them. They don’t do it for the glory and they don’t do it for the praise – they do it for others, whether that “other” is client, family, friend or the community at large. All of the Women of FIRE are chosen based on nominations from peers and colleagues, and sometimes friends and family. Many of the nominations are written by women the winners have
mentored. Many are written by the winners’ bosses. Increasingly in recent years, the nominations are written by previous Women of FIRE winners, who now number close to 100. Perhaps even stronger than these women themselves is the legacies they leave. Through mentoring and volunteering, they have touched the lives of hundreds of other women. Simply by going about their days, they have shown other young women what is possible. Some of those young women are the innovators of tomorrow – and will be in a future class of Women of FIRE. Congratulations to the 2017 Women of FIRE for all they have accomplished. n

TO RECRUIT FROM THE BIG BANKS, IT’S ALL ABOUT THE MESSAGE Community Banks Excel At Customer-Focused Technology
BY BRUCE PAUL | SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL RECORD
T
he potential to recruit new customers from big banks is strong, if community banks can convince them that they’ll find comparable technology offerings at their hometown banks. Two-thirds of Connecticut residents say they plan to increase the amount of
electronic banking they are doing, according to the results of the most recent
6 | THE COMMERCIAL RECORD | AUGUST 2017
Connecticut Bank Benchmarks survey. In general, big banks perform better than small banks in terms of technology: According to the second quarter results of the Bank Benchmarks survey, 19 percent of small bank customers thought the technology at their bank was out of date. In comparison, only 9 percent of the big bank customers felt theirs was out of date.
The Commercial Record is partnering with Westport-based market research firm Customer Experience Solutions to bring our banking and finance readers information from their own clients and prospects.
However, smaller banks should not cede the technology high ground to the big banks. In fact, many are taking on the big banks – and winning. Across Connecticut there are eight smaller banks that beat out every single big bank in their market in terms of technology rating by customers. So although some small banks are falling behind in terms of technology, other small banks are leading the way. Additionally, 37 percent of Connecticut customers are already using nonbank providers to manage some of the financial tasks that have traditionally been the purview of banks. This includes SOFI, Acorn, Laurel Road, Venmo, Digit, Vibe, Lending Club, Paypal and many others. Customer satisfaction with these providers is significantly lower than it is with community banks, creating an opportunity for a smaller bank to capture share with some leading technology partners. And more than 40 percent of big bank customers say they would prefer a small bank. One of the main barriers to them switching is the technology offerings. It is just a matter of time (and marketing) until customers learn that small banks can provide adequate technology and tools, or in some case even better ones than they are used to. Ten percent of big bank customers say they will leave their bank before the end of 2017 and 35 percent of customers overall will seek a new banking product before the end of the year. There is a significant opportunity for small banks to capture market share if they can convey that they provide the “technology surrounded by customer service” that so many customers are seeking. n

NEWS ROUNDUP 1000 LAFAYETTE IN BRIDGEPORT BECOMING A HUB FOR LAW FIRMS
MOBILE BANKING STARTUP SUBMITS APPLICATION TO BECOME NATIONALLY-CHARTERED BANK
Avison Young, a commercial real estate services firm, and the new owners of 1000 Lafayette Blvd., Shelbourne Global Solutions LLC, announced the signing of a new lease for another legal tenant, Connecticut Legal Services, at the Class A office building in Bridgeport that is now home to more than a half dozen law firms and other legal tenants. Avison Young’s Fairfield/Westchester office was named exclusive agent at the property last Summer. Sean Cahill, principal and managing director, and Vice President Lori Baker, were tasked with marketing the 11-story, 215,000-square-foot, Class A office building, located in Bridgeport’s central business district. Connecticut Legal Services, the largest legal aid agency in the state, is the latest law firm to join the growing list of tenants at the property. Connecticut Legal Services signed a long-term lease for 4,800 square feet on the ninth floor of 1000 Lafayette Blvd. DH White Real Estate Services represented the tenant in the deal. Other legal tenants include the Offices of the United States Attorneys, AHC Law, and Ryan, Ryan Deluca, which signed a new long-term lease for 12,351 square feet on the eighth floor of 1000 Lafayette in the spring. “The property’s proximity to federal and superior courts is extremely attractive to legal services’ tenants,” said Cahill in a statement. “Its full complement of amenities includes a full-service café, fitness center with locker rooms, training and conference facilities. These features, as well as [an] outstanding parking ratio with covered spaces for more than 500 vehicles, make 1000 Lafayette the perfect home for busy lawyers on the go.”
A mobile banking startup seeks to become the first national bank in American history designed for people who want to bank first and foremost on their smartphones. Varo Money Inc., a company helping customers solve financial problems, manage money and reach financial goals, last month announced that it has applied with federal regulators to become a nationally-chartered bank. The company submitted applications to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency for a national bank charter and to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation for federal deposit insurance to form Varo Bank, N.A. Varo believes the smartphone is the indispensable toolbox that can transform the way that people manage their finances. The company recently launched in the Apple App Store through a partnership with The Bancorp Bank. The Varo app allows customers to manage cash-flow, track spending and see all their accounts, while also handling everyday banking. Varo is building integrated, personalized financial solutions that combine budgeting, deposit and payments, savings and lending products to help customers smooth cash-flow and build savings. Varo’s digital model is designed to help eliminate the unfriendly fees that big banks often charge, such as overdraft fees, minimum balance fees and foreign transaction fees. In addition, Varo does not charge ATM fees at a network of over 55,000 Allpoint ATMs worldwide. With a national bank charter, Varo would be able to deliver on its promise nationwide, offering its customers access to a full range of products and solutions and the highest standards of consumer protection.

20 CT COMMUNITIES RECEIVE $11.5M IN FUNDING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADES
A recent American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy report finds that Hartford ranked 47 out of 51 major U.S. cities in energy efficiency. Boston remains the top U.S. city for energy efficiency, receiving 84.5 out of a possible 100 points, an improvement of 2.5 from its 2015 score. Following Boston, the top 10 U.S. cities for energy efficiency are New York City (No. 2), Seattle ( No. 3), Los Angeles and Portland (tied for No. 4), Austin (No. 6), Chicago (No. 7), Washington, DC (No. 8), Denver and San Francisco (tied for No. 9). The five cities most in need of improvement on energy efficiency are Hartford (No. 47), Memphis (No. 48), Detroit (No. 49), Oklahoma City (No. 50) and Birmingham (No. 51). “Across the nation, cities are taking steps to save energy, and they are creating more economically vibrant and resilient communities in the process,” David Ribeiro, ACEEE senior researcher, said in a statement. “More than half, 32, of the 51 cities improved their scores from 2015 to 2017, with several making substantial point increases. More cities are requiring building owners to benchmark and report buildings’ energy use, updating building energy codes, and setting community-wide goals to save energy and reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. We also see a new set of cities emerging as leaders for energy efficiency, knocking on the door of the top 10.”
The state recently awarded $11.5 million to 20 municipalities in Connecticut to provide upgrades and improvements to the state’s small town infrastructure. Awarded under the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Small Cities program, administered by the Connecticut Department of Housing with funding from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the grants are awarded to small towns that have a population below 50,000 residents and will advance projects that develop and preserve affordable housing, provide services to the most vulnerable residents in their communities, and also create and retain jobs. Additionally, the governor, other local officials and housing advocates participated in an event in Hartford hosted by the Connecticut Housing Coalition urging the Trump administration to reconsider drastic cuts that have been proposed for this and other housing programs in the federal budget, which have been utilized in Connecticut in recent years to make a major impact on preventing and ending homelessness, as well as increasing the stock of affordable housing across the state. “If the federal budget is enacted as proposed, it would have a drastic impact on this and other housing programs, impacting so many individuals who rely on this funding for safe and affordable housing,” Gov. Dannel P. Malloy said in a statement. “We must raise our voices to protect and expand access to decent, accessible and affordable homes – the future of our communities depend on it.”
BAYSTATE FINANCIAL AND NEW ENGLAND FINANCIAL GROUP ANNOUNCE MERGER Boston-based Baystate Financial last month announced it has merged with New England Financial Group of West Hartford, Connecticut. “Our entire business is built on our relationships with clients. At all times, our clients are our top priority. We are pleased that Baystate Financial shares this same guiding principle,” Jim Marlor, managing partner at New England Financial Group, said in a statement. “Combining forces with a firm like Baystate is an exciting step forward for our firm.” “We are excited to welcome the New England Financial Group team of 60 advisors and staff to Baystate Financial. Together, we will draw on our decades of experience in financial planning to enhance our combined client service offering,” David C. Porter, managing partner of Baystate Financial, said in a statement. “Focus has played an instrumental role in our expansion throughout New England and the New England Financial Group is the ideal partner to help us achieve our vision of becoming the preeminent wealth management firm in New England.” Through this merger, Baystate Financial is comprised of a team of over 350 advisors and 250 support associates, all whom contribute to building financial plans for a wide variety of individuals and businesses. Baystate Financial has 17 offices throughout New England.

STAMFORD CHARTS FUTURE AS ‘INNOVATION PLACE’ Combining Ingredients For Tech Growth
Serendipity Labs will expand into another 9,000 square feet a year after opening its Stamford co-working space at 700 Canal St.
BY STEVE ADAMS | COMMERCIAL RECORD STAFF
W
hile job search site Indeed’s roots in Stamford stretch back to its startup days in 2004, executives had reservations about Fairfield County as a place to grow a tech company in 2017.
“They were actually determining whether or not Connecticut would be an expan-
sion site for them,” said Catherine Smith, commissioner of the Department of Eco-

nomic and Community Development. “They have offices in Austin (Texas) and New York City and around the globe, and we had to compete just to get them to say, ‘Hey, we want Connecticut in the mix.’” Indeed Inc. will lease two additional floors at 177 Broad St., where it already employs 700 people. A 15-year, $7 million low-interest loan from DECD will pay for tenant buildout costs and new equipment,
offsetting part of Indeed’s $26.5 million investment. In exchange, Indeed agreed to increase its Stamford workforce to 1,200. The company also qualifies for up to $15 million in DECD Urban and Industrial Sites Reinvestment tax credits. Convincing additional tech companies to grow in Stamford could offset the effects of cutbacks at financial services firms UBS and RBS that left behind large vacant blocks of space. The vacancy rate in the city’s 8.5-million-square-foot office market lingered at 23.5 percent at midyear, according to Avison Young research. Indeed’s expansion is the latest in a series of targeted incentives by Gov. Dannel Malloy’s administration aimed at retaining jobs at major employers. The state’s First Five Plus program has awarded $412.5 million in loans, grants and tax credits since 2011 to companies ranging from ESPN to Bridgewater Assoc. The program could generate nearly 3,800 jobs from those agreements if the companies meet their employment targets, according to DECD data. Because First Five Plus has reserved its last four slots for potential larger expansions, Indeed’s incentive package was negotiated separately, Smith said.
Addressing Connecticut’s ‘City Problem’ General Electric’s decision to move its global headquarters from Fairfield to Boston last year and Aetna’s recent announcement that it will relocate its headquarters and 250 jobs from Hartford to Manhattan have set off soul-searching and finger-pointing in the Land of Steady Habits. Observers have assigned blame to Connecticut’s corporate tax structure, its high cost of living and the lure of states with more thriving urban centers. Top executives for GE and Aetna said their difficulties recruiting talented employees to live and work in Connecticut factored into the moves. A columnist for the local web site CT News Junkie suggested a “city problem” lies at the root of the state’s image problem.
“
Convincing additional tech companies to grow in Stamford could offset the effects of cutbacks at financial services firms UBS and RBS that left behind large vacant blocks of space. The vacancy rate in the city’s 8.5-million-square-foot office market lingered at 23.5 percent at midyear.”
“It might not be fair but we’re seen as boring – a land of suburban office parks, rotting cities and faded mill towns,” op-ed contributor Terry Cowgill wrote. A new “Innovation Places” program seeks to create the kind of environment that’s attractive to the tech industry and the workforce that’s key to their success. Typically, such companies favor dense, walkable urban areas with cultural attractions, nightlife and public transportation, organizers CTNext noted as it solicited proposals from communities last fall. Stamford – which fits that description better than most Nutmeg State cities and towns – was one of four winners in the first round of grants totaling $30 million announced in June. Other recipients were New Haven, a partnership between Hartford and East Hartford, and a Thames River partnership of New London and Groton. “Stamford is the most actively growing and economically vital city in the state,” said Chris Bruhl, CEO of the Business Council of Fairfield County. “The city is at the intersection of the Connecticut and metro New York economy. We have unique opportunities here.” Foremost among them: a growing network of business incubators, accelerators and co-working spaces. Serendipity Labs, which opened a 13,000-square-foot co-working space at 700 Canal St., has leased an additional 9,000 square feet after outgrowing its capacity, vice president
of marketing Paula Gomprecht said. The Stamford location has 160 members. RBS recently concluded the first session of its NatWest Markets Innovation Incubator, which provided young companies with mentoring and technical assistance. The next step for the business council, which is administering the “Innovation Places” grant: creating a fintech accelerator with assistance from local financial and insurance firms. At the same time, the business council is evaluating locations for a 9,000-squarefoot “co-learning” space to provide retraining and workforce development for mid-career professionals to pick up new tech skills. And it’s embracing the city’s existing feasibility study for luring autonomous vehicle testing companies to privately-owned roads within the 87-acre Harbor Point property in the South End. Gwendolyn James, executive director of CTNext, said the board of directors put a premium on the applicants’ qualifications in selecting the first four grant recipients. “They were definitely looking at how we can get points on the board quickly and trying to accelerate the organically grown (tech) communities such as New Haven and Stamford,” James said. “At the end of the day, they looked at the team and whether they felt they could invest in the people.” n Email: sadams@thewarrengroup.com

INDUSTRY INNOVATIONS IMPROVE CLIENT SERVICES Technology Makes Agents Faster, Better, More Profitable BY JIM MORRISON | COMMERCIAL RECORD STAFF
I
nnovation in the Constitution State’s 21st century real estate market isn’t just about technology; it’s about technology that improves service to clients. eXp Realty was born of the idea that in the modern era, through technology, a brokerage could give agents and clients all of what they want and need at a much lower cost and with more convenience, through technology. The company was launched
by Glen Sanford in 2009 and today has 3,000 agents in 200 U.S. MLS markets in 41 states, including Connecticut. “We hit 3,000 agents a few months ago,” CEO Jason Gesing said. “We have a transaction team of about 16 people. A typical set-
14 | THE COMMERCIAL RECORD | AUGUST 2017
ting would require close to 200 people to facilitate that many transactions. We recognize the same efficiencies in virtually every other area.” eXp Realty has also reduced overhead by limiting brick and mortar locations to those required by individual state licensing boards. The company is as paperless and virtual as it gets; those savings on overhead are funneled into technology that recruits, rewards and retains their agents. Prior companies attempting complete
virtualization were challenged by addressing a need for agents to feel connected to each other over long distances. eXp Realty has an online avatar-based system, where agents on opposite sides of the country can virtually “bump” into each other in the online hallway and strike up a conversation. “The challenge has been community,” Gesing said. “We dance at our Friday meetings. We have a company band who performs live at our annual events. I think real estate agents on the whole are people people. It restores the office atmosphere.” Generating and nurturing leads is something eXp does invest in. “It’s always been at the foundation of the model,” Gesing said. “Initially, we would do daily classes about how to generate leads, but most agents don’t put in the time to cultivate them. Two years ago we entered into a relationship with a lead generation company. It not only generates leads, it helps agents cultivate them with dashboard that tells the agent you’ve got six calls to make today.”
Keep The Focus On The Consumer Lead generation is especially important to new agents, who have fewer referral sources, said Jeff Chalmers of REsults Consulting. Chalmers is a mortgage loan originator who trains real estate agents how to get more business. Chalmers keeps his pipeline full and trains agents to do the same by turning every client into a raving fan who will not only come back to him every time they need a mortgage, they’ll send their friends as well. “My whole business is referral-based,” he said. “I’ve never bought a lead. The amount of money people throw away on buying leads is ridiculous. The typical mortgage agent is knocking down doors selling themselves, whereas I’ve built my business on integrity and helping my clients and my business partners. It’s old school karma: it always comes back.” Chalmers said most real estate agents would find more success if they stopped focusing on getting the listing or getting the commission and focus on creating and nurturing relationships with clients and referrers. “Don’t focus on making money, focus on helping people out,” he said. “The business has become like a one-night stand. Agents have to spend time to get to know
“
Millennials are searching for homes at the gym and the grocery store, and if you’re not adopting this technology you’re going to lose business. They’re not always going to come to you; you have to make it about them and reach them wherever they are.” — Jeff Chalmers, REsults Consulting
the potential client. Millennials don’t care about how many awards you won or how long you’ve been in the business. They care about relationships.” The key, he said, is to find and use technology that makes you more efficient, more transparent, and gives your clients better service. “It ain’t rocket science,” he said. “People make it more complicated than it needs to be. Our job is to take the complex transaction and make it simple. You don’t want to add to their frustration, you want to simplify it and if you’ve done your job right, they come back to you.” Very few agents understand the value of branding, Chalmers said. Agents who understand branding and can leverage it have a big leg up on those who can’t. “Branding isn’t a website or a logo, it’s who you are and what you represent,” he said. “It’s what people think of when they hear your name. Too many agents use email addresses from Yahoo or AOL. I work with an agent named Lisa Biggar. Her website is her name, her email address is through that site and her tag line is ‘Biggar is Better.” That’s how you make sure people remember your name.” And agents should absolutely be using technology to reach Millennials through the thing they pay the most attention to: their smartphones. “I’ve trained agents who use software to ping people on their smartphone as they driving past an open house,” Chalmers said. “Millennials are searching for homes at the gym and the grocery store and if you’re not adopting this technology you’re going to lose business. They’re not always going to come to you; you have to make it about them and reach them wherever they are.”
Technology Helps Agents, But Can’t Replace Them A 2013 Oxford University study on employment found that real estate agents had a 97 percent chance of being replaced by technology. The key to agents’ long-term success – and longevity – is to harness technology to provide better service, said Gesing. Twenty years ago, consumers needed agents to find out which houses were for sale. Now that information is literally at their fingertips and agents need to constantly look for ways they can add more value to their clients. “Consumers are on the path to greater independence, but it’s an emotional process in nine out of ten transactions,” Gesing said. “There’s some navigation involved, so there will always be a role for a human being. The question is: How do we add value? We’re trying to create as advantageous position as possible for our agents to provide the very best experience we can. We try to stay ahead of it and equip our agents to succeed.” Chalmers agreed agents will probably always have a role, but he stressed that role of technology in real estate transactions will continue to grow and successful agents will be the ones who use and understand it to their client’s benefit. “There always has to be that touch,” he said. “Technology can’t cover that, but it might make transactions less expensive. Commissions might go down. The industry will be disrupted. Look at what happened to travel agents. Look at what you can do online today without talking to a person.” n Email: jmorrison@thewarrengroup.com

IN PERSON A Commercial Record online exclusive, the In Person features in-depth interviews with top talent in finance and real estate, from CEOs to nonprofit leaders, entrepreneurs to industry veterans. Excerpts from these interviews appear in the print version of The Commercial Record; to see the complete stories, please visit www.commercialrecord.com.
BK BATES, REALTOR The name on her real estate sales license says “Marie,” but only complete strangers call her that. What is the market like now? Since the financial readjustment and because of the low interest rates, it’s opened up in the under $2 million segment. In the past three months or so, some houses in the $5 million to $8 million or $10 million have had reductions. People are being more careful; there’s nothing frothy. The market is based on supply and demand, which is healthy. Greenwich is an old town. We have the lowest taxes in Fairfield. We’re a big commuting town. It’s a beautiful place. We have a lot going for us. What is the secret for longevity in such a competitive real estate market? It’s very competitive. There’s no question. I just like to do a really good job for my clients. It’s something I take very seriously and work around the clock for them. You can’t dabble in this. I’m lucky that I have a lot of referrals and repeat business. You could have nothing going on at 9 a.m. and then in the afternoon you go out on two appointments.
GEORGE FELLNER, PRINCIPAL, FELLNER ASSOC. ARCHITECTS Designing buildings that are efficient and enjoyable for the people who work and live in them has been George Fellner’s notion of a rewarding career since his early teens. What do you consider Fellner Assoc.’s niche within the industry? We’re a small firm: there’s four of us, including my wife, who does my accounting, and we’ve stayed small, but that way I can be personally involved with every project we do. We do new projects as well as adaptive reuse, historical renovations and expansions. We do municipal projects such as fire stations, town halls, banquet and conference centers and a lot of health care projects. You’ve written and lectured extensively on green building technologies. How are those influencing custom home design? I’ve given hundreds of programs on all aspects of sustainable design including geothermal, photovoltaics, Earth-sheltered homes and renewables. In my work I try to use sustainable strategies wherever I can incorporate them. We end up using the high-efficiency Mitsubishi air-to-air heat pumps because they’ve become so much more efficient. In many cases they replace the need for geothermal because we don’t need to put a well in the ground.
BILL HAYNES, PRESIDENT AND CEO, BACKBAY COMMUNICATIONS Bill Haynes started helping financial institutions with their communication efforts before there were any firms exclusively dedicated to that industry. What do you like about doing communications for financial institutions? One is that it’s complicated. There’s regulatory issues you have to be thinking about. It’s really dynamic because the industry is changing all the time. We see that with our fintech clients, who are constantly trying to disrupt the industry and find new and more efficient ways to carry out financial services. What is the biggest image problem financial institutions are facing today? The global financial crisis of 2008. Fortunately, we are putting it further and further behind us, but I think it was a real drag on the economy overall and on financial services companies. I think the issue of trust was highlighted through that problem. Rebuilding that trust and being able to connect with individuals and with other institutions on the business-to-business side and developing trusted relationships and rebuilding trust lost in that timeframe is really important. I think there is a lot of skepticism about financial institutions and whether they are looking out for individuals’ best interest.

AMY ARCANO VICE PRESIDENT AND NATIONAL COMMERCIAL SERVICES MANAGER, CONNECTICUT ATTORNEYS TITLE INSURANCE CO.
BY CHRISTINA P. O’NEILL | SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL RECORD “There’s Amy, and then there’s everyone else,” reads one of Amy Arcano’s nominations for this year’s Women of FIRE Awards. Another nomination likens her to the protagonist AMY ARCANO in the TV series “MacGyver,” the top agent who rights all wrongs of the world, mostly through ingenuity. Arcano’s nominators credit her for Connecticut Attorneys Title Insurance Co.’s significant rise in commercial business. CATIC is an underwriting member of the American Land Title Association, the New England Land Title Association and the North American Bar-Related Title Insurers. Michael Savenelli, vice president of CATIC and director of industry relations, said in his nomination that Arcano’s knowledge and experience is unparalleled. “Nobody ever knows if it’s a bad or good day” when
interacting with her. She has a talent for customer service, in addition to her talents as a manager, he said, in dealing with attorney customers who are “very demanding,” due to deadline pressure, escrow accounts and the inevitable complexities of the title insurance profession. “Her expertise and ability to problem solve has made her the most sought-after title underwriter in the region,” he wrote in his nomination. Anthony Lombardi, CATIC vice president and title counsel, another nominator, cited Arcano as one of few female executives in the industry running a title insurance office who has also been tasked with opening a branch. He cited her “huge following within the local commercial real estate universe.” “I started at the bottom,” Arcano told The Commercial Record. In her junior year of high school, she worked summer breaks and vacations, filing, organizing bulk files, issuing insured closing letters, researching back title policies and answering the phones. In col-
lege, she worked at LandAmerica Financial Group Inc. until graduation – then moved there full time. Since joining CATIC she has worked all industry positions, from receptionist to her current title. An example of high-profile files is 777 Main St., Hartford, Victory Gardens in Newington, which closed at Arcano’s former employer, Stewart Title, where Arcano served as assistant vice president, underwriter and branch manager. The 1967 building is on the National Register of Historic Places and is being adapted for mixed-use, mixed-income multifamily and retail uses, to serve veterans who are homeless or at risk of becoming so. “Your organization is only as strong as your weakest link,” Arcano said, noting that the title industry “is more people-driven” than most others. Adaptably, flexibility, availability, accountability and responsibility are the key factors needed to be effective and profitable. “You must be able to think on your feet and expect the unexpected,” she said. n
Congratulations to Amy Arcano, National Commercial Services Manager, Vice President and Underwriter, for being chosen as a recipient of The Commercial Record’s
“Women of FIRE” award! At CATIC, we are dedicated to providing high-quality professional services to our policy-issuing attorneys, insured lenders and home-buyers, and other members of the real estate community.

DIANE ARNOLD VICE PRESIDENT/SENIOR COMMERCIAL LOAN OFFICER/SENIOR LOAN MANAGER, ESSEX SAVINGS BANK
BY ANNA SIMS | SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL RECORD A career banker, Essex Saving Bank’s Diane Arnold is not exactly someone you’d expect to find climbing ladders on construction sites. But Arnold, vice DIANE ARNOLD president, senior commercial loan officer and senior loan administration manager, counts many contractors among her clients, described the work zones as “incredibly enjoyable.” “I love to go out on construction sites,” she said, “and I do that through all phases, from the time the foundation is poured to completion.” Perhaps this should come as no surprise, as Arnold has spent her career hanging out in unexpected places: According to some surveys, the commercial lending field is more than 77 percent male.
“There’s no doubt that it is certainly a male-dominated part of the banking world,” Arnold said. But “I’ve never really considered myself a minority in what I do. I consider myself a peer to my male counterparts.” Gregory Shook, president and CEO of Essex Savings Bank, has been a cheerleader of Arnold’s career from the beginning. Shook led a 15-month management-training program at Branford Savings Bank in the late 1980s, with Arnold as one of its participants. “I had convinced the bank’s president to let me hire two people” who completed the program, Shook said. Arnold was one of those hires. “She’s one person that I knew had what it takes [to succeed] in this business,” Shook said. “She’s just an impressive lady. … She’s phenomenal at building longterm relationships.” Don Beckwith, senior vice president and chief lending officer at Essex Savings Bank,
agreed that forming and maintaining client relationships is one of Arnold’s many strengths. “She’s got a very, very large and loyal following of customers,” Beckwith said. “If her customers are out in the field and someone casually mentions that he’s looking for a loan, her customers will interrupt and say, ‘You’ve got to see Diane.’” Arnold shows the same loyalty to her clients, as one of her favorite parts of her job is helping “fledgling businesses” get the financing they need, she said. “I had one business come in and I had to turn them down. I said, ‘Look, you’re not quite there, but here’s what you need to become bankable,” Arnold recalled. The client took her advice, and when he returned a year later, she helped him launch his business. Today, it’s a nationally known company. “I think that’s probably the most rewarding thing about my job: being part of someone else’s success,” she said. n
CAROLYN AUGUR SALES VICE PRESIDENT, WILLIAM RAVEIS REAL ESTATE
BY LAURA SCHREIER | SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL RECORD Homebuyers need details – and not just property details. They need to understand the community they’re about to join, the ins and outs of the neighborhoods, the CAROLYN AUGUR schools, the organizations or nearby services. A good Realtor has to be an expert on all of these things. Carolyn Augur takes that part of her job seriously. As sales vice president of William Raveis Milford and leader of the Carolyn Augur & Co. Team, she’s a property expert, a tireless worker and an ambassador to newcomers. “What’s really cool about our job is that if you think about it, Realtors are the first face people see when they’re moving into a community,” she said. Augur’s primary market is Milford, an area with 17 miles of shoreline and 14 differ-
ent pocket areas, each of which has its own attributes. “You have to know the benefits of them, you have to know the outlying communities – people really rely on you for real information.” Part of what makes Augur such an expert on her turf is her tireless involvement in local organizations. She serves on the board of directors for the Boys & Girls Club of Milford and the Milford Arts Council, and was a volunteer coordinator with the Milford 375th Anniversary Committee. Those efforts make a tangible mark on the area. Through Augur’s involvement, the city of Milford won a $15,000 grant from the National Association of Realtors to develop an abandoned road alongside Milford harbor, according to Bernadette Blaze, director of marketing for the New Haven Middlesex Association of Realtors. The revived road will connect the harbor with downtown via a walkway complete with history kiosks, gathering areas and a memorial wall.
“Carolyn devotes a lot of her time and nonstop energy to giving back to the community,” Blaze said. Augur also takes an active role in professional organizations: She’s 2017 president of the New Haven Middlesex Association of Realtors, and she’s on the board of directors of both the Connecticut and National Association of Realtors. She also serves as chairperson of the Realtor Political Action Committee at the state level, a role that has taken her to Hartford to lobby against a transfer tax on buyers as well as Rep. Rosa DeLauro’s Washington, D.C. office to talk about flood insurance. These are all vital issues for the industry as well as homeowners, she says. The bottom line for Realtors: It’s important to be involved, both professionally and within your communities. “We change people’s lives – we really do. And it’s a big responsibility.” n

SUSAN FRIEDLANDER CALZONE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, FOUNDATION SOURCE
BY MIKE FLAIM | COMMERCIAL RECORD STAFF One of the most important driving factors behind Susan Friedlander Calzone’s life – personally and professionally – is the ethical pursuit of purpose. She’s been fortuSUSAN FRIEDLANDER nate to have a league CALZONE of influential leaders in her life to help her work toward making an impact, but she also strives to connect with great leaders. “I was fortunate to have amazing teachers throughout my entire life. They encouraged me to love learning, challenge conventional thinking and be creative,” Calzone said. “School and work should be fun and inspiring. Making life enjoyable and meaningful is an important part of my responsibility.” This purpose-driven tenor bolstered her through her education (she was a part
of only the third class of women at Dartmouth) and gathered steam as she attained leadership roles at AT&T, Bloomberg LLP, Michael Bloomberg’s mayoral campaigns and her current position as CEO of Foundation Source. It’s what allowed her to help grow Bloomberg LLP from a $10 million startup to a more than $5 billion global brand, and launch an 8,000-woman committee to energize voters for Michael Bloomberg’s reelection bid. The most important thing “men and women can do to raise the next generation of leaders is to give them both a strong education as well as other opportunities to develop life skills, to collaborate and to lead,” she said when asked what powerful women can do to make the future brighter for young women tomorrow. “Helping children find their passion throughout their lives is key,” she continued. “The most important skills that I learned throughout my life that helped me
achieve positions of leadership were to listen, research issues, gather differing opinions, test them out and then bring team members together to chart a course, pivot as necessary and move ahead.” Some of Calzone’s other notable achievements consist of working with Bloomberg Philanthropies from 2006 to 2010, which focuses on the environment, arts, public health, government innovation and education. In addition to establishing the infrastructure for operations, administration and human resources, she worked on one of Bloomberg’s first major multiyear programs to reduce tobacco use in low- and middle-income countries, where awareness of the dangers of tobacco use was not previously well-known. She coordinated with nonprofits and individuals to develop evidence-based policies to curb tobacco use and support this global public health initiative. n
SHARON CASTELLI CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, CHRYSALIS CENTER INC.
BY BRAM BERKOWITZ | COMMERCIAL RECORD STAFF What would drive a fourth-grade teacher to become the CEO of a real estate holding company that currently has over $20 million in assets? Most people would SHARON CASTELLI say money, but for Women of FIRE winner Sharon Castelli, it was and still is the desire to help transform the lives of people in need. Castelli started as a teacher in Providence, got her masters in counseling to pursue a career in social services and then joined a noprofit in Connecticut. The Chrysalis Center, where Castelli has served as CEO since 1999, offers a wide array of community support services to help individuals and families living in poverty cope with mental illness, substance abuse, HIV/AIDS, release from incarceration and homelessness.
Under Castelli’s leadership, the Chrysalis Center’s Real Estate Corp. was formed in 2003. “Regardless of who we served, everyone had the need for safe and affordable housing,” Castelli told The Commercial Record. “It’s a game changer when people have safe housing.” In its nearly 15 years in existence, the company has blossomed, completing five developments within the real estate corporation and another five projects by partnering with developers. Six more projects are currently pending and the organization aims to create or set aside units for the developmentally disabled population, a group of people proving costly for Connecticut and that Castelli said is being ignored. When she started in the development business, Castelli said there was a steep learning curve, but growing up in a family business provided the experience that she could quick-
22 | THE COMMERCIAL RECORD | AUGUST 2017
ly develop into skills in the real estate arena. Being a nonprofit, said Castelli, has also come with a learning curve of its own. That is why, she said, it is crucial to really listen to the officials of the community you are building in, while also making sure they understand what needs to happen to ensure a project gets built. “You have to talk their talk and walk their walk,” she said, adding that getting through the zoning process to obtain the necessary permits is no easy task. “Every mayor and selectman has a vision for their community. It’s important to listen and incorporate that into the project so there is a partnership.” Castelli has grown to love the development process, and what makes the hard work worth it is the impact she gets to make everyday on people’s lives. “I am honored to do this kind of work,” she said. “It feeds your fire to do more of these projects because you know they are successful and needed.” n
LISA MULVEY-COZZI BROKER – DIRECTOR OF REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT, REGIONS COMMERCIAL
BY CHRISTINA P. O’NEILL | SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL RECORD One of Lisa MulveyCozzi’s nominators writes that it’s nearly impossible to buy or sell multifamily investment properties in Hartford County without knowing her name. LISA MULVEY-COZZI Regions Commercial LLC is a full-service CRE brokerage and advisory services company providing commercial and investment real estate services throughout Connecticut. Mulvey-Cozzi oversees a multimillion-dollar sales team whose reach extends to the multifamily investment sales market in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New York. Information on the Regions Commercial website chronicles her auspicious start. In 1999, three years after graduating cum laude from American University with a bachelor’s degree in human resource management with a concentration in entrepreneurship,
she developed and implemented a business plan that launched a startup business north of Boston; two years later, she sold the business, doubling her initial investment. Her expertise has resulted in Regions’ successful closure of more than $50 million in annual sales transactions. Last year she earned the annual CoStar Power Broker award for Hartford County, acknowledging her successful transactions of more than 500 units in Hartford County alone in 2016, many of which were rapidly under contract shortly after listing. Mulvey-Cozzi continues that winning streak this year. Mulvey-Cozzi said she takes a detailed approach to analyzing properties, and prioritizes rapid response to clients within 12 hours. A four- or five-person team keeps the wheels turning by covering all commercial aspects. “She is so often the glue that holds deals together, the facilitator who makes them happen, the executive producer who is able to bring all parties together to a suc-
cessful conclusion [to] a transaction,” another nominator wrote. The result: better outcomes for not only the transaction participants but for the people who live in the properties with which she’s involved. Another nomination cites her as a “fantastic mentor,” adding, “she will never miss an email from you, but she will never miss a moment of the life she is building with her husband and two kids, either.” Mulvey-Cozzi partially credits her success to a supportive husband, who also works full-time. And another saving grace: yoga. She’s faithfully practiced it for 14 years. “I swear by it,” she said. “I try to be balanced and make sure I’m there for the kids.” She also credits her parents for providing help with after-hours property showings. Mulvey-Cozzi also volunteers, both locally and internationally. She is a board member of the Bridges to Hope volunteer agency, spearheading fundraising efforts to help build a clean-water well in Soroti Town, Uganda.. n

VIRGINIA GIUFFRE SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, WEALTH MANAGEMENT ADVISOR, MERRILL LYNCH
BY LAURA SCHREIER | SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL RECORD Virginia Giuffre is well aware that women are a rarity in finance. During her 21-year career as a financial adviser operating within Merrill Lynch, she’s actively sought to reVIRGINIA GIUFFRE cruit women financial advisers to expand her practice. The problem? They’re very hard to find. “The industry is underserved – probably only 12 to 13 percent of the industry is women,” she said. Women need to support each other and encourage girls to break into male-dominated professions, said Giuffre, founder of the Giuffre James Fisher Group. Gaining stronger representation in those areas is no simple matter, but women helping women is a necessary step. This is a special passion for Giuffre. Among other leadership roles, she has
chaired the Connecticut chapter of the International Women’s Forum (IWF), and served as board member, member of the executive committee and fund development chair for the Girl Scouts of Connecticut. Building confidence and entrepreneurial skill starts early, she said – that’s why the Girl Scouts is such an important organization. Because the girls in scouting develop superb leadership skills, they become our future executives, senators and hopefully, president, she said. Mary Barneby, CEO of Girl Scouts of Connecticut, first met Giuffre a decade ago when she joined the board of the IWF. She was impressed by what she saw. “Virginia ably led a group of high-performing women leaders from throughout the state,” Barneby said. Her dedication to her financial adviser clients was apparent, too. “While she serves a diverse client base, Virginia has always been a real champion for the financial empowerment of
women,” Barneby said. Despite some progress over the past couple decades, many women still relegate their personal financial management to the men in their lives. And this is where the lack of women financial advisers can be a problem – male advisors often talk down to their women clients, Giuffre said. Her office focuses instead on educating women, helping them understand the investment markets and form a financial plan for themselves. For her part, Giuffre embarked on her profession because she simply loved finance. She worked at Citibank for 22 years, running a major division, spending most of her time traveling overseas. She emphasizes the importance of taking charge of one’s own financial future, and says it’s been a rewarding career for her. “I love to be able to figure out how to help people – primarily women – succeed in today’s world and ensure they have enough money to live their lives,” she said. n

KATHLEEN GODWIN MANAGER, ANTHEM
BY DEBBIE SWANSON | SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL RECORD Bringing a genuine sense of caring to the demographic she serves, Kathy Godwin, New England team manager at Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, oversees a group of 17 in the Medicare division. Through client interactions, community outreach and presentations, her group keeps the public informed of the services and products available to seniors and those living with disabilities, and helps eligible clients to make the best choices. “Some people may see older folks as just sitting in a chair, but they are so much more than that. If you’ll listen, they have the time to talk, and share their stories,” she said. It’s those stories that she relishes. “There is no better teacher than experience, and these people have the wisdom of experience. I’ve talked with people who are close to 100 years old. They’re true historians.” Colleague Traci O’Brien said this quality is one of the things that inspired her to
nominate Godwin for a Women of FIRE award. “She’s able to connect with all ages, but has the patience of a saint when it comes to working with seniors,” O’Brien said. “She can hold a conversation with anyone, making them feel comfortable, that they’re in good hands with her.” Godwin began her career in the insurance industry. After graduating from Pace University with a degree in business administration, she worked as an actuary in the financial planning division of Connecticut General, soon to become Cigna. After a brief pause to raise her family, she re-entered the industry at Kaiser Permanente in Medicare sales, and later moved over to Anthem BlueCross BlueShield. Now with BCBS for the past 11 years, she recently was promoted to group manager. “Kathy was committed to leading the New England team even before she was our manager,” O’Brien said. “She is a
natural born leader, never makes excuses and is there for us, no matter what.” Outside of work, Godwin enjoys downtime at home, appreciating simple pleasures, such as spending time with family and her three now-grown children. Having raised a family and, more recently, cared for her ailing father, she’s no stranger to the work/life balance faced by many young women. She encourages women not to hesitate to set expectations and establish routines, and not to stress too much about small things. “It’s really just a short time – with my dad, just a year or two, and we were able to keep him at home longer. Actually a short period of time overall, and I try to be grateful for it,” she said. As for finding balance, she laughed and shared something that got her through, especially when her children were younger: “Get up before everyone else in the house!” n

It’s a trait that served her well about 15 years ago, when a career she’d worked hard to build YOLANDA TINE LOWE came to an end. Lowe moved to the U.S. from Italy at age 14; at 16, she began work doing data-entry as a keypunch operator at Aetna. She moved up into assistant roles for executives and eventually went to night school, getting her degree as an interior designer. Lowe spent years helping design commercial spaces and manage projects, including construction of Aetna’s Middletown development and changes to Hartford’s CityPlace. But a post-9/11 retraction in the industry left her laid off and looking for a new path. Her solution? Become a Realtor – a great one.
Now with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, Lowe has been recognized for sales achievements and serves as vice president of the board of directors for the New Haven Middlesex Association of Realtors, according to Bernadette Blaze, the association’s director of marketing. She’s also consistently learning and improving in her personal and professional life, Blaze said, adding that Lowe’s commercial design experience comes in handy. “Her real estate clients benefit from the many talents she honed in that position, such as her keen eye, attention to detail and skills in balancing the many aspects of a transaction,” Blaze said. Lowe’s background comes to the fore in her community contributions, too. She’s a board member for the Essex Housing Authority and Essex Elderly and Affordable Housing, where she recently oversaw the design for the common areas of Essex
Place, an affordable senior housing development. Lowe acknowledges that it was a complex task with a tight budget, but her knowledge and experience helped make the effort a success. As chairperson of the Realtor Association’s Community Relations Committee, she rallied members to donate to food drives for the Shoreline Soup Kitchens and Pantries. She oversees fundraising galas for the Child and Family Agency of Southeastern Connecticut, and she also participates in the Terri Brouder Breast Cancer Foundation’s annual marathon – an activity that has special meaning, as Lowe herself is a breast cancer survivor. Lowe firmly believes in connections with people allow you to overcome setbacks and make powerful contributions to your community. “This is where I live, this is where I work, and I want to contribute as much as I can,” she said. n

RENEE PALLENBERG SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, RETAIL BANKING & MARKETING OFFICER, GUILFORD SAVINGS BANK
BY ANNA SIMS | SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL RECORD During her nearly 30 years at Guilford Savings Bank, Renee Pallenberg, currently senior vice president, retail banking and marketing officer, has done it all. Since RENEE PALLENBERG starting as a teller, Pallenberg has been involved with everything from IT to customer service, branch administration to marketing management. But despite what her impressively comprehensive work resume may suggest, Pallenberg would never assume she knows all she needs to know. “You can always keep learning,” Pallenberg said. Pallenberg graduated first in her class from the Connecticut School of Finance and Management, receiving the John C. Shortell Award, and she’s currently
enrolled in the ABA’s Stonier Graduate School of Banking, a three-year program. “She’s probably one of the most impressive people at our bank, in my opinion, and I say that as someone who’s worked here for 10 years. … She’s not coasting. She’s an important person at the bank and she’s achieved a lot, but yet she’s still trying to learn more,” said Lisa LeMonte, assistant vice president, marketing and community development officer at Guilford Savings Bank. “It’s an impressive time commitment from someone who has very little [time] to spare.” Pallenberg found her time particularly stretched when she was charged with overseeing the bank’s relocation and renovation of its Madison branch and, more recently, the renovation of the bank’s main branch in Guilford. The bank was determined to remain
open during the entirely of its Guilford office renovation. “We kept moving teams of people from different areas of the building and then to different buildings for three or four months at a time, so it was a constant scheduling nightmare,” Pallenberg noted with a laugh. Pallenberg brings her same desire for improvement at the bank to her community. She is a five-year board member of the Madison Foundation, a nonprofit that raises money and provide grants to organizations looking to better the local community. A Madison resident, Pallenberg will serve as board president in 2018. “The whole concept … of being able to see the specific needs of the town in which you live and being a part of helping to make changes, that’s what attracted me to the Madison Foundation,” Pallenberg said. n

JENNIFER RODRIGUEZ VICE PRESIDENT/COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE PORTFOLIO ADMINISTRATOR, LIBERTY BANK
BY STEVE ADAMS | COMMERCIAL RECORD STAFF Working full-time both during her undergraduate days and while she pursued her MBA, Jennifer Rodriguez learned the value of a dollar and the importance of responJENNIFER RODRIGUEZ sible spending. She passes along many of the lessons to students at Middletown High School Credit For Life Fair, a program which teaches hundreds of seniors about spending choices, money management and earning power. “It’s an eye-opener for a lot of them. They end up being much more appreciative of their parents and how much they have to do to support them,” she said. “It’s just trying to get them to be more conscious of how they spend their money.” If the role as mentor is important to Rodriguez, it’s partly because of the guidance she’s received that helped propel her own career
advancement. She credits the advice from Dean Morgan, the CEO when she worked at Connecticut River Community Bank, for encouraging her to return to school for her master’s degree. She joined Liberty Bank as a senior underwriter when the two institutions merged in 2010 and was eventually promoted to vice president. Her role smoothing the transition and integrating her former employer’s loan portfolio into Liberty Bank’s earned her the 2012 Unsung Hero Award. Overseeing portfolio management functions for Liberty Bank’s $1.7 billion commercial real estate portfolio, Rodriguez is responsible for property inspections and visits to correspondent brokers across a large swath of the Northeastern corridor. Even though her job duties are more specialized at a larger institution, she said she welcomes the chance to wear different hats working with other departments and sharing advice with newer hires. “Especially right now, there is so much op-
portunity for women, as well as younger people,” she said. “It may not sound like an exciting career, but when you get into it you’re surprised. You don’t realize how much you can learn about different types of businesses and their everyday banking requirements.” Rodriguez embraces Liberty Bank’s commitment to philanthropy and community involvement, volunteering frequently at the Middletown St. Vincent de Paul’s Soup Kitchen, and pitched in last summer landscaping the Middlesex Habitat for Humanity’s project in Portland. “Jennifer is a valued employee with an internal fire to perform at the highest possible level and to always go the extra mile,” said Christopher Arnold, senior vice president at Liberty Bank, in his nomination of Rodriguez. “At Liberty Bank she holds the torch high by providing excellent customer service, taking pride in the work she does and treating all with respect and dignity.” n

CRYSTAL SIDES DIRECTOR OF COMPLIANCE & INTERNAL AUDIT, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, DIME BANK
BY ANNA SIMS | SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL RECORD When Dime Bank decided to upgrade more than 50 of its technology systems – a project the 150-year-old financial institution has since described as the most transformative and exCRYSTAL SIDES pensive project in its history – bank leaders knew just who should help lead the way: Crystal Sides. Although Sides’ primary role at the bank is serving as director of compliance and internal audit, senior vice president (a role she continued to fill over the course of the 18-month project), her background managing tech-related projects at several banks made her a natural pick for co-leader of Dime Bank’s technology upgrade. First, Sides helped develop the bank’s upgrade plan by evaluating its various processors, looking at them “from a financial standpoint, a customer’s standpoint [and] an
operating standpoint to ensure that we made the best move for, first, our customers, and secondly, the bank,” she said. Then, it was time to implement the plan, a yearlong venture during which Sides was responsible for working directly with the entire bank staff, as well as “at least a dozen” project teams that focused on upgrading systems ranging from internet banking to deposits to loan origination to compliance. Sides also met regularly with the bank’s core processor and its various systems providers. “Crystal seemed to be on every single committee in addition to co-leader of the project,” said Cheryl Calderado, senior vice president, human resources at Dime Bank. “Her ability to be on top of the big picture yet understanding the details of each little sub-committee she was working with was incredible.” Calderado continued: “I actually sent her a note at one stage … [that said] ‘You are the most awesome project manager I have ever worked with’ – and I’ve been in banking for
40 years, and I’ve worked with some outstanding project managers.” Needless to say, the upgrades involved an incredible amount of work, but for Sides, it was a chance to do exactly the kind of work she most enjoys. “I love watching a plan develop from concept to reality, and I love being part of a success with the team,” she said. Calderado said Sides brings these same leadership skills to all of her work at the bank, no matter the size or scope of the project. “She’s a natural leader,” Calderado said. “I’ve seen her with her staff [and] she empowers them, she motivates them. She’s just such a positive person.” Sides, who says she “grew up in banking,” attributes much of her success to her mentors. “I hope that I can be a mentor to others in the same way that others have been a mentor to me, and give others the same opportunities that have been given to me,” she said. n

ALEXIS TRZCINSKI SALES EXECUTIVE, BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY HOME SERVICES NEW ENGLAND PROPERTIES
BY DEBBIE SWANSON | SPECIAL TO THE COMMERCIAL RECORD Getting things done has always been a way of life for Alexis Trzcinski, who began dabbling in the business word at an early age. “As young as thirteen, I baked cakes, had a neighborhood ALEXIS TRZCINSKI pet care business, sold Avon, and even ran a pretty vast babysitting empire, if I do say so myself! I learned quickly, if you want something, go out and get it.” She originally set her career sights on nursing, and after graduating from high school early, began nursing school. But at age 19, things took a radical turn when she was asked to became a full-time foster parent to her premature, newborn niece. School was put on hold and Trzcinski was on the lookout for a career flexible enough to accommodate her caregiver role. Tapping into her knack for technology and interest in local business, she soon launched a
social media marketing business, managing accounts for businesses and individuals. It flourished, and soon she added a business partner and seven employees. With that running smoothly, she began seeking a new challenge. Through a friend of her business partner, she met Realtor Jim Didato, who encouraged her leap into real estate. True to form, she wasted no time in obtaining her license, and is now enjoying success at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services in Glastonbury. Only two years into her real estate career, she’s already made her mark: her team is in the top 2 percent in the entire country, she was nominated for Best of Hartford Magazine’s Realtor of the year, she has 100 percent list-to-sell ratio and five-star ratings from every past client. Trzcinski enjoys bringing her talents in social media to real estate, both by mentoring professionals new to using the platforms, and by encouraging clients to use the technology.
“Social media is a big part of any industry,” she said. “It gives Realtors the ability to connect on a level that was never possible before.” Trzcinski returned to school to complete her undergraduate degree and is currently working on an accelerated Ph.D. program with Southern New Hampshire University. She’s been active with fundraising for the Sunshine Kids foundation, a Hartford organization that provides activities and support to children battling cancer. Spare time is at a premium, but she has no complaints: “It may sound crazy, but I enjoy working, and the feeling of accomplishment.” She credits her parents for fostering her spirit of independence and encouraging her to find a way for herself. “I once read a quote that really stuck with me: ‘Be only concerned with being the best you can be at that moment, for the moment moves with you continuously.’” n
PATTI WHITE PRESIDENT, MILITARY DIRECT MORTGAGE
BY JIM MORRISON | COMMERCIAL RECORD STAFF
PATTI WHITE
Patti White joined Norcom in 2008, after 20 years in the legal industry. She now serves as president of Military Direct Mortgage, a division of Norcom Mortgage. She is a licensed
MLO in 23 states. Norcom’s President and CEO Phil DeFronzo said White exceeds the standards for this award. “Patti’s unique talents and qualifications make her one of the best women in the finance world,” DeFronzo said. “She guides veterans through the entire home loan process and is a resource, supporter and friend to all veterans that come through the doors of MDM. She made it her mission to make veterans aware of their benefits and advises them of the best loan option for their needs. Her dedication to military members
“
Educating consumers and Realtors about VA loans is really important.”
and her company is outstanding.” White, whose husband is a veteran, said she was never made aware about the benefits of a VA loan when the couple bought their first home in 1989 or during the several times they refinanced, though they would have benefitted from it. After she got into the mortgage business and they refinanced into a VA loan, her passion for the product and the possibilities was ignited. “Every single day we have veterans and their families trying to get into their first home and we’re helping them do that,” White said. “Or we help them pay off other bills and save hundreds of dollars a month. The military is this country’s largest employer with over 2.6 million employees.”
Because so many veterans don’t feel appreciated when they get home, White feels a responsibility to do what she can to help them. “I feel like so many veterans don’t know they have these loans available to them,” White said. “Educating consumers and Realtors about them is really important. I feel like so many of them have felt unappreciated or struggled when they come back. We want to help however we can.” When she’s out of the office, White enjoys spending time with her husband and two children and their three dogs. She also currently serves as president of Norcom Cares, the charitable foundation of Norcom Mortgage. n
