When we asked REALTOR® Chan Lyell of Gustave White Sotheby’s International Realty in Newport, Rhode Island what he loves about where he lives and works, this is what he had to say…

What do I enjoy most about Rhode Island?

Our area is special. We are “The Ocean State,” a place that continues to surprise and amaze me - attracting folks from around the world. The boating and beaches, the farms and open spaces, the small-town feel that is also inexorably tied to the larger world around us. It is exciting and changing, and at the same time, it is also a place I love to call home.

Why is real estate exciting to me?

Working at Gustave White Sotheby’s International Realty is a special privilege because, in addition to our long-standing leadership in Rhode Island and the South Coast areas, we continue to innovate, to re-create ourselves in a quickly changing world. The agents and brokers of Gustave White gather often to listen to each other, and to learn about our markets so that we are best prepared to listen and support our buyers and sellers. Real estate is a disorganized market that is constantly changing, and it is our ability to see the changes, and to communicate them that is our greatest asset. We are thrilled to continue to listen and communicate, working seamlessly as a unified family and team.
