Patrick Furman promoted to Managing Broker at Herlong Sotheby’s International Realty

GREENVILLE, SC – Herlong Sotheby’s International Realty has named Patrick as its new Managing Broker for its McDaniel Greene office.

As Managing Broker, Furman will oversee the daily operations by ensuring compliance, mentoring agents and facilitating smooth transitions. He will work directly with Jack Herlong, the agency’s Chief Strategy Office and Broker in Charge for the McDaniel Greenville Office.

A New York native, Patrick joined Herlong Sotheby’s International Realty in 2017 and leads the Furman Group. Personally, he has been named to the agency’s President’s Circle, for high sales volumes numerous times, and the Furman Group has consistently led the company in group sales.

In addition, Patrick also served on the Greater Greenville Association of Realtors Ethics & Grievance Committee in 2020 and 2021, and is now serving a three-year term on the MLS Committee. 

“Because he is a top producer who served on the Agent Advisory Committee for over two years, Patrick Furman is well known and widely respected among his fellow agents. He is a natural fit for this additional leadership role, and the obvious choice,” said Joan Herlong, founder and CEO.
