Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Expands Florida Presence

Brokerage to Operate as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Palm West Realty

PALM COAST, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, a global residential real estate brokerage franchise network, is pleased to announce its further expansion in the state of Florida with the addition of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Palm West Realty — the brand’s 13th network franchised real estate brokerage in the state.

Family owned and operated for over 40 years, the brokerage will be co-owned by industry veterans Lou Delgado and Fred Lewers. The firm will serve both the luxury and residential real estate market throughout The Sunshine State in Flagler, St. Johns, and Volusia counties.

Originally from Staten Island, New York, Fred retired as a NY City firefighter after twenty years of service. His real estate credentials include Real Estate Broker License, and a Community Association Manager License. Fred also served in the US Army Reserve for 26 years, retiring as a Sergeant Major and was selected, from 1.3 million volunteers located in 86 different countries around the world, to attend the Little League World Series, where he was honored and chosen to throw the first pitch. Lou arrived in Palm Coast 42 years ago from East Setauket, New York, where he managed and owned several Tropicana Products distribution routes. Since Lou enjoys the company of people, it seemed natural to become involved in real estate. He started in the real estate business in 1982 with a small, family-owned company.

The team has been in the market for over 40 years and are well-equipped to represent the significant number of high-net-worth individuals and families coming to the market.”
