Guy Barretta Takes the Helm as Chief Operating Officer at Anything Real Estate

ATLANTA, March 4, 2025 - In an exciting development for the real estate sector, Anything Real Estate has announced the appointment of Guy Barretta as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). Known for his extensive experience and operational expertise, Barretta brings over twenty years in the real estate industry, which positions him well to lead the company's strategic growth plans for 2025 and beyond.

Barretta's career is marked by notable achievements in both real estate operations and franchise management. One of his signature accomplishments includes overseeing a remarkable $100 million budget earmarked for Coldwell Banker franchises across the nation. Additionally, he played a crucial role in orchestrating one of the largest real estate transactions in Brooklyn's history—the $138 million sale of Vanderveer Estates, which comprised 59 buildings and 2,500 units.

Michael Carr, CEO of Anything Real Estate, expressed confidence in Barretta's ability to drive growth. "Guy's track record of scaling real estate operations and his deep understanding of both traditional and technological aspects of our industry makes him the ideal leader to drive our next phase of growth," Carr said. This transition is not just a managerial shuffle; it signifies Anything Real Estate's commitment to providing unparalleled support to its agents and expanding its market presence.

Before joining the Anything Real Estate team, Barretta served as COO of a Coldwell Banker brokerage, where he efficiently expanded the workforce from 130 agents and six offices to over 200 agents and eight offices. His portfolio also includes significant achievements at Realogy (now Anywhere Real Estate), where he adeptly led the Coldwell Banker brand's growth efforts across 14 states.

In his own words, Barretta expressed excitement about joining Anything Real Estate during such a crucial time. "Our vision is to create a brokerage environment where agents' personal, business, and financial goals are fully aligned with the company's objectives," he noted. He further indicated that the company is already implementing new initiatives in technology and marketing to support their agents more effectively.

Barretta’s extensive background covers multiple facets of the real estate landscape, including commercial real estate, PropTech innovations, and operational management. His academic credentials, notably an MBA, complement his practical experiences gained in both startup ventures and established real estate organizations.

Looking ahead, Anything Real Estate aims to introduce innovative technology solutions and marketing initiatives under Barretta’s leadership. These forthcoming efforts are designed to enhance agent success and promote business growth.

Located in North Georgia, Anything Real Estate is a boutique brokerage led by Michael Carr, who has been involved in over 81,000 real estate transactions. His focus lies in helping dedicated real estate agents thrive through education, support, and personal branding efforts.
