Business Beat: 13 Compass Watch Hill agents leave to join Residential Properties

Residential Properties announced that 13 agents from the Compass Watch Hill office have now joined Residential Properties Ltd., the local, independent leader.

Affiliating with the team of experts in Residential Properties’ South County office are: Dottie Nigrelli, Lauren Nigrelli, Thomas Nigrelli, Nancy Richmond, Carol Viccione, Sally Owen, Serene O’Connor, Elizabeth Douthit, Elizabeth Masterson, Susan DeMovick, Amy Randall, Henry Thayer, and Daphne Cannata.

A woman-owned, family-run, independent brokerage, Residential Properties is known for its collaborative culture, community focus, and client-first approach. Industry professionals are discovering that these are not merely words – they’re a formula for success in the modern real estate landscape. Drawn to Residential Properties by its nimble practices, full-time, in-house marketing, training and educational opportunities, and accessible, hands-on management, this established group of agents will further enhance Residential Properties’ regional market expertise in the village of Watch Hill and solidify its position as a real estate leader in South County and into nearby Eastern Connecticut. 

“Serving our clients has always been the number one priority,” Broker Associate Dottie Nigrelli said. “We were all part of Randall, Realtors before the acquisition by Compass about three and a half years ago, and though it’s natural for things to change in our business, we felt it was time to join an agency that shares our vision and values. Residential Properties has invigorated our passion for this industry. We look forward to picking up where we left off, working together, sharing knowledge, and prioritizing what’s best for our clients, but now with all of the additive support that RPL provides.”

Founded by President & CEO Sally Lapides, RPL has been a trailblazer in Rhode Island real estate. Every local market is unique with various nuances and specific needs. RPL has always attracted agents who understand this demand to provide a tailored experience for every client, as well as those who value collaboration and a commitment to giving back to the community.

“We’re thrilled to welcome these talented professionals to our team,” Lapides added. “Our mission has always been to do right by those we serve — that means our agents, our clients, and our community. Seeing experienced agents recognize that and choose to join RPL validates everything we stand for. With this established group of experts joining Residential Properties, we are focused on continuing to grow in Westerly, Charlestown, and beyond into neighboring Connecticut.”
