California Windermere exec to step down
Pat Shea
In a LinkedIn post last week, Pat Shea, president, CEO and broker of record of Windermere Signature Properties in Sacramento and Windermere Southern California, announced he is stepping down from the firm after 15 years at the helm.
“It’s time for me to say farewell to my friends at Lyon/Windermere,” Shea wrote. “My journey was inspirational, educational, collaborative and at times somewhat stressful but always amazing and rewarding.
“I remain eternally grateful for the hard work, loyalty, tremendous support and friendship from our agents, employees, clients and friends throughout Greater Sacramento. Nothing lasts forever though, and I have decided that now is the time to pursue other interests and new adventures,” Shea stated.
