Name: Augustus Bartolucci - 1967

Title: Lincoln, RI

Company: A. Bartolucci Agency

Location: Lincoln, RI

Birthplace: Woonsocket, RI - 1926

Education: Woonsocket Schools Recently honored with his election as 1968 President of the Rhode Island Board of Realtors, Sam Bartolucci has become best known in his area as a member of the Society of Real Estate Appraisers. The only one so designated in Greater Woonsocket, Sam remains quite busy in his endeavor, and at the same time, he buys and sells income-producing property. After two years in European combat for the Army in WWII as a sergeant, Sam purchased a dry-cleaning business, began building homes and started buying 3-family properties. Ever since that time, Bartolucci has been buying, remodeling and selling apartment units. An appraiser of the VA for over 10 years, Sam was also named vice president of the Rhode Island SRA Chapter and is the former president of the Greater Woonsocket Realtor Board. “The Lincoln area has had a good growth, not only residentially, but also industrially. Woonsocket is coming back slowly and with the federal building programs, private landlords find themselves competing against the government and taking a beating.” Married with one daughter, Sam works closely with his wife, who has a license and runs the office. An avid fisherman and an interested bowler, he feels his work is cut out for him in the Realtor president position, “My goals include a larger and more active membership, better relations between Realtors and the public and more educational seminars for our group. Education is the key to a solid future for Realtors in this state and I intend to help in its foundation.”
