East Greenwich, RI Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Commonwealth Real Estate has merged with Rhode Island real estate agency, Berkshire HathawayHomeServices Gammons Realty, which has served the entire state of R.I., southeastern Mass. and part of Connecticut, since its founding in 2001.

 The announcement was made by Commonwealth founding partner, George Patsio, and Gammons Realty founder, Allen Gammons, Jr.  Under the terms of the partnership, the Gammons Realty team of 35 real estate professionals will remain with the new and merged entity. Gammons will also maintain an active role with the same dedicated staff. 

The business will continue to operate from its current headquarters at 461 Main St., and will now be known as BerkshireHathaway HomeServices Commonwealth Real Estate.

While serving as broker/owner of his firm, Gammons said he saw the potential to do more of what he does best: creating opportunities for agents and growing the business by focusing more on sales. “Our affiliation with Commonwealth and the extensive support, resources and training they provide will enable me to spend more time in the field using my talents to help create inventory for our agencies and brokers,” he said. “I look forward to working with the Commonwealth team and continuing to grow our business.”

Patsio said, “Our company has experienced incredible growth with the support of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brand.  Gammons Realty has an excellent team of professionals in place with a proven track record of providing superior service.  We are excited to bring additional resources to their sales associates, staff and clients and enhance the already exceptional level of service they provide to their marketplace. We are looking forward to expanding our footprint into Rhode Island and thrilled to welcome Allen and the Gammons team to the Commonwealth family.”
