CORE Group Marketing has named Mark Ripka as its new chief operating officer. Ripka will be working with CORE CEO Shaun Osher to expand the company, including opening a new office in Chelsea.
“We’re poised for tremendous growth,” Ripka said. “Shaun and I are partnering together on strategic hiring and construction of a new flagship office in Chelsea.”
Before his move to CORE, Ripka was vice president at DPS Sporting Club Development Company, where he was responsible for developing and implementing the firm’s brokerage outreach strategy. He previously worked at Sotheby’s International Realty.
“I managed two brokerages for Sotheby’s and helped the company
build a brand-new office,” Ripka said. “You need to build the right infrastructure and right systems from the beginning to enable effective growth and lead the agents.”
Ripka will be overseeing 50 agents at CORE as well as the office’s day-to-day operations.
