The Hudson Gateway Association of REALTORS® (HGAR) has welcomed Gail Fattizzi, executive director of Westchester Real Estate Inc. in Somers, N.Y., as its 2020 president. Fattizzi, along with the HGAR executive officers and directors, were officially installed in their new positions at Le Chateau in South Salem, N.Y., on Jan. 16. Almost 300 people throughout the Lower Hudson Valley attended.
“I’m so excited to welcome Gail Fattizzi as our new 2020 HGAR president and wish her much success,” says Richard Haggerty, HGAR CEO. “Gail has been involved in just about every committee of our association over the past 20 years and we’re delighted to be working with her in this new role in the coming year.”
Fattizzi initially entered the real estate industry by chance, taking a position as an office manager at a local Bedford, N.Y., brokerage in 1987. Later she joined another firm as director for the Westchester Affiliates, then became executive director for Westchester Real Estate, Inc., a consortium of independently owned brokerages in the Hudson Gateway market. In addition, she serves as regional manager for ERA Insite Realty Services, helping to manage the firm’s five offices
Always an advocate for local charities, Fattizzi will also serve as the program chair of the Hudson Gateway REALTOR® Foundation for 2020. The Foundation raises funds and provide volunteers for Hudson Valley non-profit organizations.
