Real estate veteran Angela Paoli has been named @properties’ new vice president of education, according to an @properties press release.

As a member of the residential brokerage firm’s education team, Paoli will help to create and lead programs related to business development, marketing and sales, as well as its trademarked suite of technology applications.

“Our agent educational programs have long been one of the keys to @properties’ growth and success,” @properties co-founder and co-CEO Thad Wong said in the press release. “Angela is a huge addition to the team.”

Paoli comes to @properties with 20 years of experience, having begun her real estate career at her family’s firm Century 21 McMullen, which was acquired by Coldwell Banker Realty in 2017. She most recently served as Coldwell’s district vice president of the Northwest Chicagoland region.

The educational programs provided by @properties have been especially critical during the pandemic, according to Wong, with the company rolling out several programs in 2020 to guide and motivate @properties agents through the challenges brought on by COVID-19. The newest educational offering, The Perfect Series, addresses such topics as prospecting, successful listing presentations and negotiating contracts, among others.
