Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage recently promoted two members of management.
 
Denise Kinney, former vice president and director of sales, was recently promoted to vice president, general manager. Tom O’Neill, the former broker in charge and manager of the South Brunswick and Holden Beach offices, was recently promoted to director of sales for the entire company, according to a news release.
 
“Denise and Tom both have the leadership and expertise needed to help our business grow and help our agents work more effectively, which in turn, ensures that our buyers and sellers receive superior customer service,” Tim Milam, president of Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage, said in the release.
 
Kinney received her real estate license in 2001 and joined Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage in 2007.
 
As vice president and general manager, Kinney’s new roles include: overseeing and streamlining operations, managing the brokers-in-charge who oversee each of the company’s 11 offices, and managing the relocation and Internet leads departments, according to the release.
 
O’Neill, a University of North Carolina Wilmington graduate, started his real estate career in 2004 with a large brokerage and development firm in Las Vegas. He returned to Wilmington in 2012 and joined Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage the same year.
 
As director of sales, O’Neill will work with the company’s agents to develop and grow their business, better serve their buyers and sellers and execute new ideas to increase production. He will work out of Sea Coast Advantage’s headquarters office in Wilmington so he can have easier access to the firm’s 425-plus agents from Jacksonville to Holden Beach, according to the release.
