RIDGELAND, Miss.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, part of the HSF Affiliates LLC family of real estate brokerage franchise networks, today announced that Prudential Ann Prewitt Realty has joined the network operating as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Ann Prewitt Realty.
The brokerage, a family of real estate companies including Ann Prewitt GulfCoast Realty in Biloxi and Hattiesburg-based Ann Prewitt Southern Realty, is a leader in Mississippi real estate services with a roster of well-trained and tenured agents. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices has grown to more than 42,000 agents and 1,200 offices in 47 states since its September 2013 launch.
“I always want the best for my company and to be the best for our clients,” said Broker/Owner Ann Prewitt. “We now join a brand that we believe is the best in real estate – a brand whose namesake is Berkshire Hathaway Inc., one of the world’s most trusted and respected corporations.”
Prewitt said the brand will resonate nicely in her respective markets and throughout Mississippi. Moreover, the network includes dozens of brokerages throughout the South, which will generate referral and relocation business for her company.
Prewitt added that her company will grow as a Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network member. “Our goal is to the triple the size of our brokerage family over the next few years,” she explained. “We’re certain the brand will appeal to ambitious real estate professionals who want to take their careers to new heights.”
A former advertising executive, Prewitt said she’s excited about the brand’s marketing potential. “The Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brand stands for expertise and fresh thinking, plus the core principles of trust, integrity, stability and longevity,” she continued. “Real estate consumers are looking for the brand’s distinctive Cabernet and White yard signs as symbols of quality and distinction.”
With their franchise affiliation, Ann Prewitt Realty agents gain access to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices’ Global Network Platform – a suite of online tools, applications and services – plus ongoing business consultation, professional education, national marketing support and the exclusive Luxury Collection program for high-end and resort listings. Resources include lead generation, a social media platform, a handy mobile app, the Videolicious video-production app and more.
HSF Affiliates CEO Gino Blefari welcomed the brokerage family. “Ann Prewitt and her team are top professionals and are a terrific addition to the brand,” he said. “We’re eager to help them grow and serve their communities.”
