RealtyTrac Brings Back Rick Sharga as VP of Marketing

Rick Sharga is rejoining foreclosure listings and search portal, RealtyTrac, as the new VP of Marketing. 

On the appointment, Rob Barber, CEO of ATTOM Data Solutions, RealtyTrac’s parent company, said:

"Rick's extensive experience in the real estate and mortgage industry, along with his established industry relationships, make him an invaluable addition to the growing RealtyTrac team."

As VP of Marketing, Sharga will oversee the marketing and PR initiatives for RealtyTrac while putting in place new strategies to expand brand awareness. 

Sharga was originally part of the RealtyTrac family in the early 2000a where he helped build up its internal and external communications program. His return has come just in time, as the company looks to position itself as a leader in foreclosure listings sector. 

Ohan Antebian, General Manager of RealtyTrac, said: 

"Adding Rick to the growing RealtyTrac team is a testament to the continued investment from ATTOM and its investors at Lovell Minnick Partners. The vote of confidence in the brand and ATTOM's strategic decision to re-invest in the site will solidify awareness of our organization and its near-term modernization."

Sharga previously held leadership roles at Carrington Mortgage Holdings and its Vylla business unit, as well as at Auction.com, where he was responsible for the site’s rebranding to Ten-X.

Speaking on his promotion, Sharga said:

"I am excited to return to RealtyTrac and look forward to re-establishing the brand as the go-to source for consumers, investors, and real estate professionals looking for foreclosure property information.”
