Houlihan Lawrence announced this week it has acquired Shore & Country Properties, a residential brokerage in Greenwich. Shore & Country’s 20 agents brokered about $165 million in home sales in 2014. The Shore & Country office in Riverside will become Houlihan Lawrence’s second office in Greenwich. The Shore & Country acquisition comes on the heels of the recent announcement that the former Kelly Associates offices in Darien and Rowayton, have joined the Houlihan Lawrence network.
“As we continue our growth in the Connecticut market, we are proud to welcome the team from Shore & Country Properties into our expanding family,” Houlihan Lawrence President and CEO Stephen Meyers said in a prepared statement Monday. “In addition to combining two cultures that share a commitment to outstanding client service, we have now gained a physical presence on the eastern side of town. The addition of the Riverside office will allow Houlihan Lawrence to strengthen our roots in the community, allowing us to better assist our clients with a new level of expertise.”
In less than 18 months since first entering Connecticut, Houlihan Lawrence has opened four Fairfield County offices. In 2014, the Houlihan Lawrence Greenwich office was ranked the No. 2 office in Greenwich. The company expects to exceed $1 billion in Connecticut home sales in 2015, its second full year operating in the state. Shore & Country Properties focuses on the entire Greenwich community with an emphasis on the Riverside, Old Greenwich and Cos Cob markets.
