McCartney Named Huntington Regional Branch Office Manager With Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage

Laura Rittenberg, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage on Long Island and Queens, N.Y. is pleased to announce that William “Bill” McCartney has been named branch office manager of the Huntington Regional office, assuming the position that is being vacated when Mary Rice retires.

“After many years with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, it is with mixed emotion that I am announcing Mary Rice’s retirement at the end of this year,” stated Rittenberg. “She has been a part of company leadership in the Huntington office as a branch manager for the past 29 years and I wish her nothing but the best as she embarks on this new journey of her personal life.”

Rice has been a fixture in the community and real estate profession on Long Island for a total of 36 years. In addition to a successful career in real estate sales and management, she has been a key member of the professional standards committee for the Long Island Board of Realtors for nearly 20 years. “Although I know he is more than qualified, Bill will have some really big shoes to fill as he steps into the Huntington branch office manager position,” added Rittenberg.

McCartney began his real estate career as an agent in 2002 and, in 2006, he affiliated with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. In 2008, he began his management career as an assistant branch office manager in the Huntington Regional office. Within the year, he assumed the branch office manager position in the Bellmore Regional office where he was able to help drive the success of the office. At the end of 2009, he was called upon to lead the Ronkonkoma Regional office as the branch manager.

“I am looking forward to cultivating a positive culture and assisting the agents in finding their purpose within the framework of real estate sales,” noted McCartney. “My philosophy is that real estate is a relationship business in which more is offered than the transaction itself – it’s about helping people through a challenging financial situation, getting them through an emotional situation and helping them realize their dreams of home ownership.”

As a leader in real estate management, McCartney has earned several awards including Long Island Business News’ Manager of the Year Award in 2014 and Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Manager of the Year Award for Long Island and Queens, N.Y. in 2014 and 2015. He is a member of the New York State Association of Realtors® and the National Association of Realtors® and resides in Levittown with his wife Lori.

The Huntington Regional office is located at 82 Main Street and can be reached at 631-673-6800.
