Lamacchia Realty acquires Rosewood Realty in Massachusetts

Lamacchia Realty has acquired Somerset, Mass.-based Rosewood Realty and its affiliated Rosewood Real Estate School, expanding the brokerage’s footprint and training platform in Bristol County and across Massachusetts, the company announced Monday.

The deal brings Rosewood’s brokerage operation and its real estate licensing school under the Lamacchia Companies umbrella, while Rosewood broker-owner Eric Alberto and 16 agents will join Lamacchia’s Fall River office, according to the announcement.

Rosewood Realty, founded in 2013, has built a presence in Bristol County around community ties, education and a client-first model. Alberto started his real estate career in 2004, became a broker in 2007, and previously worked with Century 21 Anchor and at his own firm, Eric Alberto Realty, before launching Rosewood.

This acquisition deepens Lamacchia Realty’s coverage of Massachusetts’ south coast, adding Rosewood’s Somerset-based team to Lamacchia’s existing Bristol County offices in Easton, Fall River and New Bedford, as well as its East Providence, Rhode Island, location.

In 2025, Lamacchia Realty recorded 5,944 transaction sides, totalling $3.27 billion in sales volume earning it the No. 68 and No. 79 ranks in the nation for sides and volume, respectively, in the 2026 RealTrends Verified Rankings.

“I’m excited to have Rosewood Realty join Lamacchia Realty. Eric has built a great company, and we are thrilled to welcome him and his [real estate professionals],” Jackie Louh, Lamacchia Realty’s chief operating officer, said in the announcement. “We now have a real estate school, with Eric at the forefront of that — we now have an even bigger opportunity to invest in agents at every stage of their careers.”

Alberto said the move will give his agents more tools and support while aligning with his focus on education.

“I couldn’t be more excited to join forces with Anthony and his team at Lamacchia Realty,” Alberto said. “The tools, systems and technology they provide are second to none and will put our agents in a position to grow, succeed and most importantly, better serve their clients. Their dedication to educating agents aligns perfectly with our mission through Rosewood Real Estate School.”

In addition to the brokerage, the acquisition also includes Rosewood Real Estate School, founded in 2019. The school, which offers pre-licensing and continuing education courses, will now operate within Crush It In Real Estate, the training brand owned by Lamacchia Companies.

Alberto will retain an ownership stake in the school and remain its head teacher. Lamacchia Companies plans to expand the school’s reach by adding virtual classes and on-demand video coursework modeled on the Crush It In Real Estate training program that Lamacchia launched more than a decade ago.

By the end of summer 2026, the licensing courses led by Alberto are expected to be available across Massachusetts, according to the announcement.

Lamacchia Companies owner Anthony Lamacchia said having an in-house real estate school is a strategic step for agent recruitment and development.

“There is no doubt that we are all stronger working together than apart,” Lamacchia said. “We will not only grow it in this region but also across Massachusetts and likely beyond.”

Part of a broader acquisition strategy

The Rosewood deal marks Lamacchia Realty’s 14th acquisition in New England in about two and a half years as the company pursues scale across the Northeast and in select Sun Belt markets. Earlier this month, the firm announced its acquisition of Weichert Realtors – Briotti Group, expanding its Connecticut presence with new offices in Waterbury and Wolcott. 

The company said it is also working on acquisitions in South Florida, signaling the growth of its Florida operation. 

The company said it will be “business as usual” for existing Rosewood clients after the acquisition. All current listings and pending sales are expected to continue without interruption, and Lamacchia plans to roll out its lead-generation tools, services, technology and training to the former Rosewood agents in the coming weeks.
