Pugatch Realty brokers Barry and Susan Pugatch have joined the Laffey International Realty executive team, which includes Emmet Laffey, Gregory Berkowitz and John Schoonmaker, as managing partners.

“This great news for homebuyers and sellers in the Five Towns,” said Barry, who has been in the real estate business since 1969. “Pugatch Realty remains the same great team that has served the market since 1991, and is backed by and the powerful Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brand. Our agents now have access to the industry’s best tools and resources, which will help them provide even better service with greater efficiency.”
