KELLER, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, part of the HSF Affiliates LLC family of real estate brokerage franchise networks, today announced that Prudential Worldwide, REALTORS® has joined the network operating as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Worldwide, REALTORS®.
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices has grown to almost 37,000 agents and more than 1,100 offices operating in 47 states since its launch in September 2013.
“We feel there is so much opportunity with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices,” said Broker/Owner Ellen Johnston, who founded her brokerage in 1997. “The brand carries the name of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., one of the world’s most trusted and respected corporations. It will resonate well with our clients throughout Northeast Tarrant County, the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and Wise County, who are familiar with the name and understand the marketing potential of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices.”
Johnston said the brand is already helping her recruiting efforts. “I’ve hired several new agents since we announced our intention to affiliate with the network,” she explained. “My staff is proud and excited to represent Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. Recruits want to be a part of it.”
Similar values make the brand an ideal fit for Worldwide, REALTORS®. “The network is built on Berkshire Hathaway’s values of trust, integrity, stability and longevity,” Johnston said. “We live these values every day as we serve our clients and constituents.”
With their affiliation, Worldwide, REALTORS® agents gain access to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices’ Global Network Platform – a suite of online tools, applications and services – plus ongoing business consultation, professional education and marketing support. Resources include powerful lead generation, a handy mobile app and much more.
The brokerage will also benefit from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices’ national advertising campaign. The brand, an exclusive sponsor of HGTV’s Waco-based hit show “Fixer Upper” with Chip and Joanna Gaines, recently launched the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices $50,000 Sweepstakes in conjunction with the show.
Through mid-June, viewers may register at www.50kFixUp.com for a chance to win $50,000 toward a home-improvement project. Official rules also are found on the site. The prize will include a design consultation with the Gaineses. “It would be wonderful if the winner came from one of our markets,” said Johnston. “We urge all local homeowners to register for the Sweepstakes.”
