Peter Ruffini, a state and national leader in the real estate industry, has been named regional manager of Jack Conway Realtor’s Marshfield sales office.

Ruffini, a former president of the Plymouth and South Shore Association of Realtors (PASS), is the 2011 secretary/treasurer for the Massachusetts Association of Realtors (MAR). He is also a past director of the National Association of Realtors and the 2009 Realtor of the Year for PASS, according to a statement.

"Peter’s credentials speak for themselves, and we are thrilled to have him lead our Marshfield office," said Conway CEO Carol Bulman. "He officially starts his post on Jan. 1 and he has great plans for the new year."

Ruffini said he plans to tap into the skills and knowledge of his existing sales force, formerly led by Manager Grace Alvey, who recently opted to re-enter the sales staff, and building up his team through active recruitment efforts.
"Everyone in the office is smart and motivated and I am looking forward to working with them to gain a larger market share in our area," said Ruffini, a Plymouth native. "I hope to staff up and help Jack Conway-Marshfield have an excellent 2011."

Ruffini is a longtime Realtor, broker and co-owner of a South Shore realty firm. "I decided to make a career change because I wanted to work for a larger organization with more resources to offer its agents and customers," he said. "But I wanted to join a company that was similar in values to my own with a personal, supportive atmosphere and a keen sense of honesty and integrity. Jack Conway Co. was a perfect match."
