“We are very excited to be welcoming Emerson Realtors to our Lamacchia Realty Family. This is just the group of REALTORS® and the incredible office location we needed to grow our presence and better serve everyone in South Worcester County. A few months ago, after Kevin and I had zoomed for a while and chatted he emailed me the history of his family in the real estate business dating back to the late 1800’s, I read it in awe and knew at that moment that this was the right fit for us. I feel honored that he, Brooke, John, his daughter Kate, and wife Trish all wanted to do this with us. Together we will carry on the Emerson and Maher family real estate legacy for decades to come.”

New article - emersonEmerson Realtors was founded in 1996 by Kevin Maher and John Stelmok, four generations after Cornelius Maher opened his first real estate office in Worcester in 1880. Kevin’s impressive career and impact on the local industry began when he received his real estate license in 1977 and embarked on his career. Prior to Emerson Realtors, he co-owned Century 21 Maher Real Estate in Auburn. Over the years he served on the Board of REALTORS® in many capacities, was consistently a top producer, and was the number one agent in Auburn for many years. He also co-owned Emerson Homes where he built and sold hundreds of homes in Central Mass.

I am excited to witness the growth in our agents as they embrace the remarkable resources Lamacchia Realty offers. Kevin’s pivotal role in orchestrating this merger will forever carry profound significance to me.”

Prior to his recent passing, Kevin was involved in the discussion and decision to move forward with becoming a part of Lamacchia Realty. Back in February Kevin and Anthony spoke and traded emails about the two companies, the industry, and Kevin’s many years of experience in the area.

“I’m thrilled to have Emerson Realtors joining Lamacchia Realty. This is a fantastic group of REALTORS® who will help us to grow in South Worcester County. Kevin Maher built an incredible company and I’m so pleased that he was on board with this prior to his passing. The history with this company is quite impressive and we are so honored that Kevin, Brooke, John, Kate, and Trish decided to merge with us. We are looking forward to the future and working with this fantastic group to keep the Maher legacy going.”
