My name is Lisa Morrison and I am the founder of The Newport Group at Coldwell Banker. I have been in
the real estate business for 37 years. I started as an agent and later became a trainer and manager. I
move up to a regional vice president and became a silent owner of a Sotheby franchise in Ct. After selling
my interest, I moved to my second home in Newport and created the group 15 years ago. As you can
imagine, my years of experience have introduced me to many agents, managers, and opportunities to
work for different independents and brands.
As a steady producer and luxury agent, I have chosen Coldwell Banker because it is the best company for
both me and my clients. They have strong brand recognition both nationally and internationally. The
tools for marketing and technology are hands down the best in the industry. The company offers the
highest level of best business practices and, most important to me, keeps me legal and free to conduct
business from anywhere in the world! They allow us to build our own image under their umbrella while
supporting us in every way possible.
Speaking of support, our manager Patricia Chretien is a trained professional with a steep history in both
real estate and banking. She is very knowledgeable and helpful to all of us. Whether she is onboarding a
new or an experienced agent, she is extremely patient and enthusiastic to everyone. She is a noncompeting manager, which is paramount to me. Having been a manager, I recognize the amount of time
and work that goes into it. She would be pulled away from her responsibility to the office and create a
conflict of interest. She is very impartial and shows no favoritism to anyone. She always responds
immediately to all of us and has assisted any time day or night when needed.
Patricia is a very warm and approachable woman who exudes a positivity energy. Her can-do attitude is
what stands out the most to me. I truly believe we would be lost without her. Anyone who considers
joining our office will be very fortunate to have her as their leader. If you are new to the business, she
will get you up and running in no time and if you are experienced, you will not miss a beat by making the
move. In fact, you will be promoted and exposed to the community immediately and set up for success!
I am always happy to have a confidential conversation with you. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.

As a new realtor, it is critically important for me to work with a branch manager who not only has a great deal of experience, but who
is approachable, communicates openly & transparently, and provides support. I am delighted to say that Patrician Chretien embodies
all this and more!
Working closely with her over the past six months, it has become apparent to me that Patricia is dedicated to our success. Nothing
says it more than our two-hour phone call one Sunday late evening, Patricia providing clear direction as I wrote and submitted my very
first Purchase and Sales Agreement! And then there’s the early morning texts when she’s always responsive to my questions. She’s
fun, cool & calm, and all coach! And she’s also very professional. Patricia is extremely proficient operationally, technically and
financially, making me feel completely confident with her at the helm of the Coldwell Banker Realty, East Greenwich! Indeed, it has
been refreshing to work alongside such a dynamic professional as Patricia!

As a seasoned Realtor with over 30 years of experience in the real estate industry, I have had the
privilege of working alongside numerous professionals. However, my experience with Patricia has
been exceptionally noteworthy.
From the very beginning, Patricia has demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to
professionalism and excellence. Her deep understanding of the market, combined with a strategic
approach to real estate, has consistently translated into smooth operations running multiple
offices.
Beyond her professional acumen, Patricia excels in fostering a collaborative and supportive
environment. Her leadership style encourages open communication and teamwork, which
significantly enhances the overall efficiency and effectiveness of our Rhode Island offices. She is
always available to provide advice, share knowledge, and assist with any challenges that arise,
making her an indispensable resource for both new and experienced realtors.
I wholeheartedly recommend Patricia to anyone seeking a broker who combines expertise, integrity,
and a genuine commitment to their clients and colleagues.
