We’re excited to share important leadership news at York.
After nearly 30 years of remarkable leadership, Lamont Farmer will retire at the end of the year. Throughout her time with us, Lamont transformed our Property Management division into one of York’s strongest pillars, leaving behind a legacy of vision, stability, and opportunity.
As Lamont begins her well-earned retirement, we’re thrilled to announce that Amy Rogers has stepped into the role of Senior Vice President & Director of Property Management. Amy has grown with York over many years, earning trust and admiration with her dedication, attention to detail, and future-focused mindset.
This planned transition provides valuable continuity as Amy works alongside Lamont to ensure seamless operations and continued growth for our Property Management division and clients.
Please join us in congratulating Amy on her promotion and expressing our gratitude to Lamont for her outstanding contributions to York’s success over the past three decades.
Congratulations to Brian Wallace and Judson McMillan who have each been promoted to Senior Vice President, Commercial Brokerage, joining John Kerr on the division’s leadership team.
Brian Wallace (20 years with York) will step in to lead collaboration and communication, guiding operations and strategy.
Judson McMillan, also with 20+ years at York and one of our top producers, will take the lead on business development efforts and client relationship growth.
Alongside John Kerr, whose nearly four decades of expertise continue to guide our team, this strengthened leadership group positions York for continued success, innovation, and client service excellence.
We are proud of the incredible talent within our firm, and we look forward to the impact Brian, Judson, and John will make in driving our Commercial Brokerage Division forward.
Please join us in congratulating Brian and Judson on this well-deserved achievement!
