Prudential Palms Announces Chris Harrington As COO

Prudential Palms Realty announced that Chris Harrington will join as Chief Operating Officer of the company. In this capacity, Harrington will oversee all branch offices stretching from Manatee to Charlotte counties. He leaves a position as COO of York Simpson Underwood of Raleigh, North Carolina, where he was responsible for seven residential sales offices and 280 agents.

“We are thrilled to have Chris Harrington join our executive team,” remarked Helen Sosso, founder and CEO of Prudential Palms Realty. “He was a driving force in our local market, well-liked and respected. Even in this uncertain market, we are growing our company by adding new programs and opportunities for our agents. Chris has great experience and has always been a wonderful leader in the real estate industry. His innovative spirit and expertise will be a great addition to our company.”

Harrington explained. “Recently, I was in town on an annual golf outing when my flight back to North Carolina was grounded, due to Tropical Storm Fay. A chance meeting with Helen Sosso turned into two days of discussions and an offer I couldn’t refuse. Helen has made her mark in this community as a leader and an innovator. She has built a company that strives to stay ahead of the curve with their technology, their training and other programs that support their sales associates. This is a very exciting opportunity for me and I am very excited to return to the Sarasota/Manatee area as COO of Prudential Palms Realty.”
