Company History
Our history dates back to 1980, when Dorothy "Dot" Fleming began her career as an associate broker for a small brokerage in East Fishkill, NY. Over the years her client base continued to expand until additional personnel was needed to help manage the growing needs of her clients.
In 2002, her son, Patrick Fleming left the technology-services field to join Dot and help her manage her clientele. "It was an instant fit", recalls Dot, as the two leveraged the power of teamwork to accomplish more in less time. Although they didn't realize it then, their concept of teamwork would later become the cornerstone of WorldSelect® Real Estate.
In 2003, upon recognizing the need for a high-quality boutique brokerage, Patrick along with Dot´s help, established his first brokerage in Dutchess County, NY, named Patrick Fleming Realty Corp.
Over the next four years they continued to refine the company’s operations and marketing strategy. "It was an exciting process" recalls Dot, remembering how quickly the company rose to success.
By year ending 2006, the firm closed more transactions then nearly 80% of competing brokerages. On July 4, 2007, WorldSelect® Real Estate was launched in unison with Independence Day to celebrate the beginning of the "real estate revolution".
