A Christmas present came early to Marshfield home seller Clare Steele, an employee of the Cardinal Cushing Centers in Hanover, thanks to a new partnership between her workplace and Jack Conway, Realtor.

“This was our first closing under the new affinity program,” said Dawn Stevens, director of Conway’s Relocation division. “Ms. Steele’s house was co-listed by Michael Rotman of our Marshfield office, and Pat Ryle of Hingham, and when it sold, we presented a cash back bonus to Clare and a check in the same amount to the Cushing School.”

JoAnn Simons, president/CEO of the Cardinal Cushing Centers, was pleased to see one of her employees take advantage of the Conway incentive program. “Jack Conway, Realtor has always been a good friend to us, and we were happy to enter into this affiliation with them,” said Simons. “It benefits our students, staff and school, as well as the Conway company. Everybody wins.”

Conway Regional VP Joe Markiewicz will manage the new Act1/Conway sales center.

“Act 1 is an outstanding real estate company made up of experienced agents who are involved members of their community,” said Conway CEO Carol Bulman. “We are happy they have chosen us as their partner, and we’re so pleased to welcome Carol O’Loughlin, who is such a well respected and successful Realtor.”

Taking the microphone, Mrs. Conway said, “Carol, your father was so proud of your achievements as CEO during these last few turbulent years in our industry. As you know, I’m not fond of public speaking, but I promised your dad that I would make this presentation to you publicly.”

As Conway handed her daughter a stock certificate transferring full ownership of the Jack Conway Real Estate Company, the crowd erupted with a standing ovation.

“I ask you all to join me in preserving the phenomenal work of art that Jack Conway created and nurtured for so many years,” said Bulman. “Our company has a solid foundation, carved by a master sculptor, and it’s our job now to build upon it, while ensuring that it remains steady and forever firm.”

The Conway Thanksgiving breakfast also included an address from John Yazwinksi, president and CEO of Father Bill’s & MainSpring, and the presentation of 40 Conway “Spirit Awards” to agents in offices from Boston to Cape Cod.
