“This is a defining moment for our company,” said Gerry Burke, broker/owner of HWWB, REALTORS®. “The combination of our brokerage and a brand inspired by Berkshire Hathaway Inc., the world’s most respected corporation according to Barron’s, will result in significant benefits for our agents and clients.”

Through their affiliation, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices HWWB, REALTORS® agents gain access to a robust real estate technology platform, ongoing business consultation, professional education, marketing support and more. “Clients of all types will want to see that Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices name on a sign in the front yard,” Burke added.

The brand will also yield recruiting advantages, Burke said. “Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices is built on a foundation trust, integrity, stability and longevity, the same values as its Berkshire Hathaway namesake,” Burke explained. “Top agents will appreciate the value of this brand and will want to represent it in our marketplace.”

Stephen Phillips, president of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, said HWWB, REALTORS® associates are ideal brand ambassadors. “We are thrilled to add this first-class brokerage to our network,” Phillips explained. “Gerry and the team are admired throughout the region for their skill, service and innovation, and we look forward to their continued success as part of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.”
