Local Real Estate Broker Bob Sheeran Leaves Sotheby's

By Desiree Parker Saturday, January 14, 2012

Local real estate agent and business owner Bob Sheeran has given up his Sheeran Sotheby’s International Realty business and has moved to William E. Wood and Associates.

“It was a total business decision to stop ownership of Sheeran [Sotheby’s],” Sheeran said. He has been in the real estate business for about 35 years, and had run Sheeran Sotheby’s for the last six years and had led Sheeran and Associates for five years before that.

It wasn’t just a poor economy that contributed to the shift, Sheeran said. “I could not take another day, bearing that debt” related to the business, he said, frankly.

The office had mostly luxury listings, and they just didn’t sell, he explained. “I love the brand and have nothing but respect for Sotheby’s,” Sheeran added.

He moved to William E. Wood earlier this week along with eight of his Sotheby’s team, according to the William E. Wood website. “We are so happy that they have joined our team,” the website reads. “The Best in the Business just got even better!”

Sheeran said of William E. Wood managing broker Ted Evans, “I have always thought the world of him,” and as for the office in general, “I feel comfortable about [the move] and have always thought highly of William E. Wood.”
