Feb. 26, 2020: Leah Caro, co-owner of Park Sterling Realty, a realty brokerage company serving Westchester and Putnam Counties, has announced the addition of the majority of the sales force of Peter J Riolo Real Estate, a Hastings-On-Hudson firm.

Peter J. Riolo Real Estate, a respected firm for more than 70 years, recently closed its doors. The co-owner and president, Peter J. Riolo, Jr., the office manager, Sharlene Forman, and the majority of their sales force will now be associated with Park Sterling Realty.

Park Sterling, with its main office in Bronxville Village, has had a positive and productive relationship with the Peter J. Riolo Real Estate office in Hastings for over 30 years. Both offices were founding members of the Westchester Real Estate, Inc. consortium.

Park Sterling Realty (formerly known as Bronxville Real Estate) has been an independent company since its inception in 1990. It has prided itself on high ethical standards, teamwork, professionalism, and exceptional client services.  Peter J. Riolo Real Estate has the same values, making the association a natural fit.

"Putting People First" isn't just a motto, says co-owner Leah Caro, "It's Park Sterling Realty's way of life – for agents and clients."

The new river-town based sales associates will continue to bring a high-touch client experience, along with a high-tech toolbox to market Hastings, Dobbs Ferry, Ardsley, Irvington, Tarrytown, Sleepy Hollow, Northwest Yonkers and beyond.

President and Principal Broker Leah Caro has been a friend and colleague of many of the new brokers including Kumiko Buller, Sharlene Forman, Alberto Hernandez, Marilyn Hirsch, Deborah McNerney, Laureen Paul, Lauchlan Paul, Susan Slattery, Ravi Wadera, and of course Peter Riolo Jr, himself.

She is delighted to include these successful real estate pros in her company and looks forward to continuing to bring the best service to the Hastings and River-town markets.

When asked about further expansion, Caro says she and partner, Jon Posner are examining another opportunity in Northern Westchester.

Jon Posner, a 45 year veteran of real estate, was the owner of Preferred Realty Inc, a 95 agent brokerage firm that was sold to Houlihan Lawrence in 2004.
