In a mutually beneficial partnership, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Commonwealth Real Estate and Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices N.E.

Prime; their caliber of sales associates, proven track record of providing superior service and culture make this partnership a great fit,” Patsio added, “Nancy’s focus has always been on the people on her team. We’re happy to welcome them to the Commonwealth family.”

Nancy Quinn, owner of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices N.E. Prime Properties, agreed: “This collaborative partnership with Commonwealth came along at exactly the right time for N.E. Prime. As we adapt to a new normal of doing business, I knew my teams needed stability and a greater reach. We were already familiar with the superior tools of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices but working with Commonwealth’s leadership team, I saw how Commonwealth’s presence in the New England markets would give my sales associates a greater foothold to achieve their goals.”

Both brokerages are familiar with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices’ ‘FOREVER Cloud’ technology suite powered by Salesforce, which includes lead generation, marketing support, social media content, video production/distribution support and more.
