CORE, the largest integrated commercial real estate firm in Northern New England, is pleased to announce the expansion of its brokerage team with the addition of five new brokers. This fall it welcomes Brady Saunders, Clay Hardy, Seamus Henry, Bennett Joseph, and Roan Hopkins to its sales and leasing team.
“We’re building a dominant organization,” said Josh Soley, President of CORE. “We’ve been expanding across divisions in 2025 with new hires in our operations and management team in January and again in the summer, and now a focus on strengthening our brokerage organization.”
“We have some of the most intelligent brokers in the industry,” he continued. “And we’re focused on developing a new generation of brokers, by bringing in new talent and investing in their growth.”
Two of CORE’s newest hires originally joined the organization as interns. Seamus Henry first interned at CORE in the summer of 2023 and is now a licensed Associate Broker. “The atmosphere that CORE offers as an employer really brings you the motivation you need to work well,” said Seamus. “It’s a tough industry where it can be hard to succeed, but CORE has provided me with the tools and the people to help me develop from intern to associate broker.”
Roan Hopkins is another new talent in the making. He is in the final stages of completing his real estate license while balancing a full academic load at Bates College. “The culture at CORE is genuinely collaborative,” said Roan. “Senior brokers share time, playbooks, and feedback, which accelerates learning. Also, the firm is execution-oriented: hands-on exposure to valuations, LOIs, and live pitches has made my development both fast and practical.”
