Fasano and Associates, the West coast list firm founded 25 years ago by Pat Fasano, will become part of Belardi/Ostroy, the companies have announced.
The merger adds 50 list management and 25 brokerage clients to Belardi/Ostroy’s roster, including Toys to Grow On, the Parent Co., Barrie Pace, Collections, Etc and Stamps.com.
Fasano’s list management will be handled out of Belardi/Ostroy’s headquarters in New York. Its brokerage unit will stay in Los Angeles.
The Los Angeles office will be renamed Belardi/Ostroy LA, and Pat Fasano will serve as managing director.
“Donna and I are extremely excited to have Pat join our team,” said Andy Ostroy, CEO of Belardi/Ostroy, in a statement. “We’re looking forward to incorporating her into all facets of the business, on both a client service and strategic level.”
President Donna Belardi added that the merger “further expands our presence in California, a state in which many of our clients are located.
Belardi/Ostroy’s client list includes Coldwater Creek, J. Crew, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn, Sundance Catalog, Ross-Simons, Hammacher Schlemmer and One Step Ahead.
The New York-based firm offers strategic services in addition to traditional management and brokerage.
