ST. LOUIS—Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices has just added three local brokerages to its network, giving each the opportunity to start doing business under one of the most respected corporate brands in the US. Adding the independently owned companies brings nearly 1,000 agents and 21 offices to the Berkshire network. Since its September 2013 launch, the Irvine, CA-based Berkshire network has grown to more than 29,000 agents and 825 offices in 37 states.
The new members include Prudential Alliance, REALTORS®, which will operate as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Alliance Real Estate; Prudential Select Properties, which will become Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Select Properties; and Prudential Advantage, REALTORS®, which goes forward as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Advantage, REALTORS®.
“We are proud and elated to join forces with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, a brand inspired by the world-renowned Berkshire Hathaway Inc.,” says Alliance broker/owner Andrea Lawrence. “The brand reflects Berkshire Hathaway's values of trust, integrity, stability and longevity, which complements the values and strong tradition of Alliance Real Estate and our dedicated agents.”
“The St. Louis real estate market is bouncing back, and St. Louisans are looking for quality representation and high-caliber service for their real estate needs,” adds Maryann Vitale Alles, president and chief executive officer of Select Properties. “The combination of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and our strong, established company will resonate well in the region.”
The brokers gain access to Berkshire's technology platform and marketing support, and can also access ongoing business consultation and professional education. Furthermore, customers will encounter new and interactive websites, which offer accurate home-valuation tools, neighborhood data, drive-time assessments and more.
