ROBERT RUTLEY OF THE BLACKSTONE TEAM AT MOTT & CHACE SOTHEBY’S INTERNATIONAL REALTY INCLUDED ON EXCLUSIVE LIST OF LGBTQ+ AND ALLIED REAL ESTATE SALES PROFESSIONALS

The LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance today unveiled its second-annual LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance Top Producers list which honors 236 individual member agents and teams, an increase of 20% over the last year’s inaugural list. RealTrends created the report in concert with The Alliance as the real estate industry’s only recognition of top producing LGBTQ+ and ally agents.

Robert Rutley, of The Blackstone Team, with Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International in Providence, RI, was named to the list having produced 170 transaction sides and $82.3 in sales volume in 2021. The team ranked sixth in transaction sides in sales volume.

“The LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance continues to grow in size and stature, and we are led by incredible members like Robert,” said Ryan Weyandt, CEO of the LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance. “There is no denying how important our members are to LGBTQ+ buyers and sellers especially at a time when rhetoric and actions against the LGBTQ+ community are on the rise, and governing officials across the country are introducing hundreds of state and local bills and laws to restrict our freedoms. So, it’s only natural for LGBTQ+ folks want to turn to people like The Blackstone Team who understand their needs, challenges, and goals during the homebuying and selling process.”

The LGBTQ+ Real Estate Alliance launched in October 2020 and has grown to more than 2,600 members and dozens of chapters across the North America. It was recently named the Innovator of the Year in the MLS, Association, or Industry Organization category by Inman News.
