At the time, Dermot said he would move into the role of board advisor and international brand ambassador, with responsibilities across “international growth, fostering sponsorship and partnership strategies, and scheduling speaking engagements with industry leaders.”
Buffini & Company describes itself as North America’s largest real estate coaching and training company, with more than 4 million professionals served across 47 countries.
