I hesitate even posting this new because everyone gets those Rapattoni Corporation News emails. But this is pretty big.
Love ’em or hate ’em ever since Rapattoni has entered the MLS business they have been kicking ass. Andy Rapattoni is a legend in this business, I still marvel of how they have been in the real estate technology arena for over 37 years. Our best wishes to Nick, he’s got some pretty big shoes to fill.
New president for Rapattoni Corporation
SIMI VALLEY, Calif., October 31, 2007 – Rapattoni Corporation, a leading software and services provider to the real estate industry, announced today that its board of directors has elected Nicholas A. Rapattoni president effective November 1, 2007. The current president, Andy Rapattoni, will continue as chairman of the board and chief executive officer.
“Nick is in his eleventh year with the company,” said Andy Rapattoni. “His increasing leadership role since 2003 has proven that he can run a high-tech company and direct our team and our products into the future. As his parents, Niki and I are proud that he has aggressively pursued this challenge.”
Most recently Nick has served as vice president and director of corporate processes. In this position he worked closely with every department, learning their functions and needs in order to improve their processes and communication.

However, I am confident that I can execute the presidency of Rapattoni Corporation and lead the company into the future with the help of the outstanding management team we have built.”
