Russ Lyon Sotheby’s International Realty announces the internal promotion of a long-time team member. Kevin Gonzales, who brings with him 27 years of experience at the brokerage and most recently served as the company’s vice president of operations, was promoted to the role of chief operating officer.

Gonzales' passion for real estate began in 1996 when he started with Russ Lyon Realty Company. He decided to step away from the sales side in 2007 and accepted a position as the branch manager of the Russ Lyon Realty Pinnacle Peak Office. In 2019, Gonzales was promoted to vice president of operations for Russ Lyon Sotheby's International Realty where, in addition to continuing to manage the Pinnacle Peak Office, he was given the additional responsibilities of supervising all areas of operations, which included overseeing the managing brokers of each branch as well as the operations departments, comprised of the firm’s marketing, relocation, IT, training and agent development functions.

Gonzales assumed the chief operating officer role Jan. 1. Gonzales will be more involved in expanding the brand and sourcing new technology and systems to add additional value to the firm and its agents.

In addition to the promotion of Gonzales, 44-year veteran of the firm Deems Dickinson announced his retirement; he was most recently in the role of designated broker for the state of Arizona. Attorney and broker Bret Lamberson was promoted from the role of managing broker to replace Dickinson as the firm’s designated broker.
