January 23, 2015 // Franchising.com // Madison, N.J. - Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC announced the merger of Lang McLaughry Real Estate, which has 15 offices throughout Vermont and New Hampshire, and Four Seasons Sotheby's International Realty, which has three offices in New Hampshire. The combined company will be operating as Four Seasons Sotheby's International Realty.

Simultaneous with this transaction, the combined company has acquired Vermont Country Properties Sotheby's International Realty, which has five offices across Vermont. A total of 22 offices across Vermont and New Hampshire now will operate as Four Seasons Sotheby's International Realty.

"Lang McLaughry was established in 1959, bringing an established reputation built over 56 years for service and excellence in the community, and Four Seasons and Vermont Country Properties are both highly respected companies with a similar focus on service excellence." said Philip White, president and chief executive officer, Sotheby's International Realty Affiliates LLC. "We are proud to welcome them to the Sotheby's International Realty global network."

Staige Davis will serve as chief executive officer of Four Seasons Sotheby's International Realty with Buff McLaughry serving as chief operating officer. Stephanie Wheeler and Pam Perkins are co-owners of the newly combined entity.

"Our goal for nearly six decades has been to provide superior, innovative real estate services to buyers and sellers," said Davis, formerly chief executive officer of Lang McLaughry. "We are proud to join the Sotheby's International Realty worldwide network, which we feel has the best marketing resources available in real estate and a reputation for extraordinary service and consistency. Bringing our companies together enables us to continue to pursue our visions of excellence and innovation in how we service our local communities, while being part of a strong global real estate network. Four Seasons Sotheby's International Realty opened its first office more than 100 years ago, affiliating with the Sotheby's International Realty brand in 2009. We are so pleased to unite with that rich and deep history."

The Sotheby's International Realty network currently has over 16,400 sales associates located in approximately 730 offices in 56 countries and territories worldwide.
