LENOX, Mass. — William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty agent Tonia Scalise Ranked 2021's No. 1 Selling Agent in Central Berkshire County.
 
Tonia Scalise of the firm's Great Barrington and Lenox brokerages ranked as the top producing agent in 2021 by closed-dollar volume among all real estate agents in Central Berkshire County. 
 
She also achieved No. 1 status by volume in Pittsfield, No. 8 in all of Berkshire County, and No. 1 by both unit sales and volume for 2021 in the company's two Berkshire brokerages. In the company's Lenox office, Scalise has maintained that position each year since it first opened in 2017.
 
As she approaches her 35th year in 2022 selling residential real estate in the Berkshires, company officials say Scalise continues to set herself apart in the field with the unique areas of expertise and services she brings to clients. 
 
A Berkshires native, she has a deep knowledge of home construction and restoration, and she specializes in creative sales solutions and carefully calculated pricing strategies. She also supports her sellers with home staging comprising artwork from her own private Berkshires-oriented collection, a service she calls "Staging by Scalise."
 
"Tonia's vision for each property's full potential, her never-ending energy and her passion for the Berkshires with all its offerings truly make her one of our most outstanding agents," said Tim Donnelly, brokerage manager for William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty's Berkshires brokerages. "Her commitment to the entire real estate process and dedication to successful closings are second to none. I congratulate her on another incredible year and look forward to her continued success in 2022."
 
Prior to joining William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty in 2017, Scalise ran her own brokerage firm for almost a decade. An annual multi-million-dollar producer in Berkshire County, she is an Accredited Buyer Representative, a Certified Residential Specialist and an Accredited Staging Professional.

Berkshire Aggie Launches Market Match Drive

By Breanna SteeleiBerkshires Staff
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Berkshire Agriculture Ventures has started its 2025 Market Match campaign to aid federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program users.
 
"It's a program that's sole existence is to support SNAP matching programs in our area farmers markets," communications and development manager Audrey Hackett said.
 
This financial assistance plays a role in bolstering food equity and ensuring that all community members have access to fresh, local, and nutrient-dense food.
 
Through the economic development and food access program, funding is provided to farmers markets to enhance the effectiveness of SNAP benefits throughout the Berkshire-Taconic region. The grants enable a $1-for-$1 SNAP match program, doubling the purchasing power of SNAP at participating farmers markets.
 
"When people who are SNAP users go to farmers markets they have a certain amount that they can spend on fresh local food. The national program called Market Match doubles that amount which is wonderful," Hackett said. "So if you go to the market with $30, now you, through your SNAP benefits, have $60 to spend and you can probably access more expensive products like dairy, meat, and cheese."
 
BAV launched the Market Match fund in 2022 to support and grow SNAP benefits and raise money year round. The donation drive started in April and this year's goal is $30,000.
 
This year is more important than ever because of federal cuts made to local programs and farmers.
