About George Cain
George believes that the Purchase or Sale of a home is most often the biggest business decision we make as individuals. His philosophy is to bring a significant "business approach" to that process. He is a highly experienced "Business Person" who loves working in real estate. Having worked in Finance, Advertising, and Marketing at Colgate-Palmolive and in Sales Management, Corporate Management, and Venture Investing at Capital Cities/ABC, his business experience and related skills are both broad based and highly focused. This experience has resulted in Board of Directors appointments and Board Advisory roles at both public and private companies. In real estate, in addition to serving on a variety of MLS Committees, George has been honored to serve on the Boards of the Greenwich Association of Realtors and on the Connecticut Association of Realtors.
George lived in Greenwich, CT for 30+ years, where he and his wife raised five children. However, he has had a second home for 10+ years in Monterey, Massachusetts where he now reside. George has also been a real estate investor (Commercial and Residential property in Massachusetts and 6 different properties in Greenwich, CT), a Real Estate Manager, and for the last 10 years a Real Estate Licensee in both Connecticut and in Massachusetts. He is a proven Marketing, Advertising, and Sales expert with an excellent foundation in Finance. These kinds of experiences have translated very well for George's clients in the Purchase and Sale of real estate. In 2015 he was recognized as the Greenwich Realtor of the Year.
George looks forward to working with and for you.
