LENOX, Mass. — William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty agent Tonia Scalise Ranked 2021's No. 1 Selling Agent in Central Berkshire County.
 
Tonia Scalise of the firm's Great Barrington and Lenox brokerages ranked as the top producing agent in 2021 by closed-dollar volume among all real estate agents in Central Berkshire County. 
 
She also achieved No. 1 status by volume in Pittsfield, No. 8 in all of Berkshire County, and No. 1 by both unit sales and volume for 2021 in the company's two Berkshire brokerages. In the company's Lenox office, Scalise has maintained that position each year since it first opened in 2017.
 
As she approaches her 35th year in 2022 selling residential real estate in the Berkshires, company officials say Scalise continues to set herself apart in the field with the unique areas of expertise and services she brings to clients. 
 
A Berkshires native, she has a deep knowledge of home construction and restoration, and she specializes in creative sales solutions and carefully calculated pricing strategies. She also supports her sellers with home staging comprising artwork from her own private Berkshires-oriented collection, a service she calls "Staging by Scalise."
 
"Tonia's vision for each property's full potential, her never-ending energy and her passion for the Berkshires with all its offerings truly make her one of our most outstanding agents," said Tim Donnelly, brokerage manager for William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty's Berkshires brokerages. "Her commitment to the entire real estate process and dedication to successful closings are second to none. I congratulate her on another incredible year and look forward to her continued success in 2022."
 
Prior to joining William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty in 2017, Scalise ran her own brokerage firm for almost a decade. An annual multi-million-dollar producer in Berkshire County, she is an Accredited Buyer Representative, a Certified Residential Specialist and an Accredited Staging Professional.

Hannah Wicklund and Turning Jane Perform at Barrington Hall

By Sabrina DammsiBerkshires Staff
GREAT BARRINGTON, Mass. — Hannah Wicklund and Turning Jane will take the stage at Barrington Hall on Saturday, bringing a night of rock 'n' roll, self-expression and empowerment as part of their independently produced tour, "Cowards, Kings & Queens of Hearts."
 
The duo is challenging traditional music industry practices by taking control of their careers, bringing live performances to smaller communities, and fostering human connection with the goal of inspiring creativity and individuality, Wicklund said.
 
Having toured since she was 16, the South Carolina native said most of her previous performances were concentrated in major markets.
 
Great Barrington was intentionally selected as a stop on the tour because it "fit perfectly" with the artists' efforts to bring their music to smaller communities, raise awareness of independent artists, and demonstrate alternatives to the traditional, corporate-driven music industry, she said.
 
The tour's name, "Cowards, Kings & Queens of Hearts," combines the titles of songs and albums from its two co-headlining acts: Wicklund's song "Cowards and Kings," from her album "War on Women, Calling All Good Men," and four-piece rock band Turning Jane's album "Queen of Hearts." 
 
The two performers bring contrasting styles to the stage, with Turning Jane delivering a more traditional rock sound and Wicklund adding a psychedelic edge. These different rock styles add variety to the show while sharing a similar passion for music and a strong sense of artistic identity, Wicklund said.
 
"I'm wishing to create [an atmosphere that] is constantly inspirational, and hoping to have people walk away feeling like they want to go home and paint or write or learn guitar, any of the self-expression tools that I know and love," Wicklund said.
