GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty announced today that Stephen Schoenfeld, Licensed Real Estate Salesperson, has joined the company's Great Barrington brokerage. 

 

With experience in both financial services and real estate and more than 30 years as a Berkshires resident, Schoenfeld acts as a resource for his clients.

 

"We are thrilled to welcome Stephen to the company. His distinguished background, real estate expertise, and deep local knowledge of the Berkshires region makes a valuable addition to our Great Barrington brokerage," said William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty Berkshires brokerage manager Tim Donnelly.

 

Before transitioning to real estate ten years ago, Schoenfeld spent 42 years in the financial services industry, where he held senior roles at Lehman Brothers, Schwab and State Street Global Markets, in addition to running his own discount brokerage firm. Upon retirement, Schoenfeld—who first purchased a home in the Berkshires in 1987—became a full-time Berkshires resident and launched a second career as a real estate salesperson.

 

For the past six years, he has focused on residential sales, representing clients buying and selling homes at all price points, ranging from $100,000 to $4.6 million. One of Schoenfeld's trademarks is his ability to help clients envision how they can update and renovate a home to make it more suitable to their taste and lifestyle.

 

Having fallen in love with the Berkshires region, Schoenfeld is passionate about his community.

 

He served for five years on the Egremont Finance Committee and was previously Secretary/Treasurer for the Board of Realtors for Berkshire County, where he currently sits on the Investment Committee. He is also a community member of the French Park Fund, which provides recreation space and equipment for neighborhood children, and is involved with Construct, an agency that supports less fortunate families in South County.

 

Schoenfeld currently lives in South Egremont with his wife, Penny, and their Bernese Mountain dog, Shiloh. Together they have five children and 11 grandchildren. His passion for golf occupies his free time and he can frequently be found at Wyantenuck and Stockbridge Golf Clubs.
