My name is Leif Rosseland, and I’ve been involved in the real estate industry for over three decades. I began my career as a real estate agent helping people buy and sell homes in the city of Worcester as well as most of Central Mass. After 14 years as an agent, I moved into multiple different roles with Coldwell Banker including branch management and a regional vice president of NE. I’m back in the role I truly cherish the most and that’s running the Coldwell Banker Worcester and Sturbridge offices.
