King joined the firm as an agent in 2018 and was named Assistant Brokerage Manager in 2020.

Prior to working in real estate, King was Senior Vice President and Director of Client Leadership for the New York-based marketing and advertising firm Ogilvy & Mather. Over nearly a decade, King worked closely with Fortune 100 clients such as American Express, Coca-Cola, Sara Lee and Unilever among others. King also spent 13 years working in a similar role with BEN Marketing Group, working on acquisition and retention campaigns for clients in the pharmaceutical, entertainment and travel industries.
“I’m thrilled to take my passion for promoting a life-well-lived in Litchfield County and share it with all our exceptional agents,” said King. “The local market has evolved in surprising and exciting ways recently, but the commitment to our clients remains the same. I’m pleased to support our agents in providing the exemplary level of service that William Pitt Sotheby’s International Realty is known for.”
