Press release from William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty:

Dec. 7, 2020

William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty today announced that seasoned mother-daughter agent team Carolyn Clark and Elizabeth Blanchard have joined the company’s New Canaan, Conn., brokerage. The pair bring significant experience and expertise in New Canaan and the surrounding market area including Darien, Norwalk, Stamford and Wilton.

Carolyn Clark entered the real estate industry over 35 years ago and quickly made a name for herself as the first agent in the region to provide staging services to clients as part of preparing a home for sale. Drawing upon her prior career in fashion, Clark utilized staging to help her sellers achieve the best possible price in a buyer’s market. Clark rose into the ranks of the area’s top producers and for over 20 years was the owner/broker of her own firm, Carolyn Clark & Associates. Most recently both Clark and Blanchard were affiliated with Houlihan Lawrence.

Elizabeth Blanchard built a successful business as a stylist with the men’s wear brand J. Hilburn over the course of eight years, becoming well known in the community for her work in designing the personal wardrobes of high net worth individuals. She started working in real estate alongside her mother during this period, and now as she transitions full time into the industry her existing customer base is already proving a strong source of business for her real estate career.

Both Clark and Blanchard stated they were attracted to William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty for the exceptional training and other unmatched resources available to sales professionals.

“We are excited to join this best in class brand,” said Blanchard. “Sotheby’s International Realty® has a reputation for excellence and integrity, which is how I’ve always strived to build my own brand. For us this new affiliation is a perfect alignment in serving our own clientele.”

“I’m thrilled to welcome such an accomplished agent team,” said Carolyn Fugere, brokerage manager for William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty in New Canaan. “Between Carolyn’s in-depth market knowledge and Elizabeth’s entrepreneurial spirit and technological know-how, they have fantastic synergy together. Carolyn and Elizabeth also share a dedication to exemplary service and patient guidance through the real estate process, and they are well known for their negotiating skills.”

Carolyn Clark has been a consistent recipient of Connecticut Magazine’s coveted Five Star Realtor Award. Her pioneering efforts in home staging have led to appearances on CBS This Morning and in multiple major media outlets.

A recognized active member of the New Canaan community, Elizabeth Blanchard is the founder of the Women’s Networking Group of Fairfield County, which hosts speakers on a variety of topics monthly at the New Canaan Library. She is also involved in an internationally focused club of New Canaan where she can engage in her passion for travel and connecting with people of different cultures.

Both Clark and Blanchard live in New Canaan.
