Tuesday, October 8, 2024 – Lamacchia Realty officially welcomes Home Sweet Home Real Estate to the company. Serving the Berkshires from their Pittsfield office, Laiken Rapisarda, owner of Home Sweet Home Real Estate, has been voted Best REALTOR® in Berkshire County by Best of the Berkshires five years in a row.  Known for streamlining the buying and selling process and alleviating the stress that comes with it, Laiken, along with 8 other expert local agents, have successfully served buyers and sellers in the area for years. 

This is the second acquisition for Lamacchia Realty in the Berkshires in 90 days; this past July they acquired Berkshire Dream Home in Dalton. Laiken’s office and agents will be joining the Dalton office over the next few months.  Lamacchia will be maintaining the Home Sweet Home Pittsfield location during this transition as they join Andy Perenick and Sarah Perenick in Dalton to continue to help buyers and sellers alike to their success. 

“I’m so excited to bring another wonderful company in the Berkshires into the Lamacchia Realty family. The acquisition of Berkshire Dream Home has worked out extremely well and this acquisition of Home Sweet Home with Laiken and her terrific agents is only going to make us stronger in the region. We extend a heartfelt welcome to everyone joining us.”

Home Sweet Home Real Estate was started in the Spring of 2020 with the expertise and help from Laiken’s partner Jenna Giardina. Laiken had a passion to create something new and to make the process for her clients and her colleagues a more enjoyable and rewarding experience. Her goals have always been to create a positive and lasting experience to help everyone love where they live. 

Laiken chose to join forces with Lamacchia Realty because her goal has always been to inspire, elevate, grow and become the best version of herself. When the opportunity came to be a part of this company, the more Laiken learned, the more she loved.

“To be able to offer all the incredible agents of Home Sweet Home, and all of their clients an elevated and professional way to do everything we are currently doing, but at the next level, I was thrilled to say yes. The training, knowledge, resources, systems, and marketing reach are only going to take our business that I am so proud of, to a new level of success and will create better results and happier clients, which is what it's all about.”
