The Advantage Group announced that it made three executive promotions, with David Schwartzberg promoted to executive vice president, Advantage Group; Theresa Hicks moved to senior vice president, Advantage Legal; and Chris Nuzzi promoted to senior vice president, Advantage Title.
“These executives continue to contribute to our year-on-year growth working to the highest industry standards and delivering the Advantage brand of client service,” Advantage Group President and CEO Joseph M. Willen said in a press release.
Nuzzi will be responsible for business development and assisting clients in their commercial and residential real estate transactions, the company said. Before joining the firm’s flagship company in 2014 as a vice president, he was a two-term Southampton Town Councilman. He began in public service at the Suffolk County Executive’s Office in 1996; and in title insurance in 2007.
Nuzzi is an expert in land use practices and the laws that govern them, and he has deep knowledge about environmental and preservation needs, zoning regulations and landmark real estate transfers, the company said.
Schwartzberg will guide clients on complexities of all types of foreclosures and real estate litigation. The Advantage Group is unique in being the only title services company in the industry with a dedicated foreclosure attorney giving clients the latest insights in foreclosure legislation, the release stated. Prior to joining Advantage Group in 2004, Schwartzberg was of counsel to the Long Island law firm Mario B. Mikelinich, P.C. and previously worked at several mid-sized foreclosure firms.
