Life at Sentry Commercial
🎃 Happy Halloween from Sentry Commercial! 🎃
We love celebrating with our Sentry Commercial family and the local community. This past weekend, our very own Chris Duclos and his family had a blast at the Trunk or Treat event hosted by the @GoYardGoats at #DunkinPark in Hartford. Chris’ son, Luca, was dressed up as the cutest little police officer, and even the @HartfordPolice gave him a special shout-out! 🚓💙
From spooky fun to community connections, Sentry Commercial wishes you all a safe and fun Halloween! 👻🍬

🎉 Teamwork & Tiny Hats 🎉
Yesterday, our leadership team dove into another all-day EOS session! We’ve been at this for over a year now, and it’s safe to say we’re getting pretty good at it—if not at fitting Mark with the right-sized hat! 😆
These quarterly sessions keep us sharp and focused on growth, not just for Sentry Commercial but for the clients and community we serve.
Between serious strategy chats and some goofy moments, it’s clear we’re hitting our stride as a team. It’s all about showing up for each other and for you—delivering a commercial real estate experience that’s both professional and a bit of fun.

🎉 Happy Birthday to Tim Mulcahy! 🎉
Known for his sarcasm and sharp wit, Tim keeps us all on our toes—whether we like it or not! But let’s face it, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
Wishing you a day filled with exactly as much fun as you’d tolerate, Tim! 😉
