Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty has announced a significant leadership transition. Judy Chace, the firm’s co-founder and a longtime force in the state’s real estate landscape, has acquired full ownership of the company from her founding partner, Ray Mott.
The move marks a new chapter for the firm, which was established in 2013 and quickly grew into a regional powerhouse with eight offices across Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.
“This is a moment of both celebration and continuity,” said Chace. “I am deeply grateful to Ray for his partnership and contributions over the years. Together, we built a brand that stands for exceptional client service, market knowledge, and a commitment to excellence. I look forward to continuing that legacy with the outstanding team we have in place.”
Mott, who has played a central role in the company’s rise, expressed pride in the firm’s accomplishments and confidence in its future. “Co-founding Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty and growing it into a respected name in Rhode Island real estate has been a significant chapter in my career,” he said. “As the company enters this next phase, I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished and wish the team continued success moving forward.”
Under Chace’s leadership, the firm will maintain its affiliation with the Sotheby’s International Realty® network, giving clients access to a global marketing platform while preserving the local expertise that has defined its brand.
Founded with a focus on luxury properties and exceptional client service, Mott & Chace Sotheby’s International Realty remains committed to delivering strategic guidance, market insight, and the personalized white-glove service that has made it a leader in the luxury real estate market.
