“We are very pleased to make this transition to the brand that is reinventing real estate,” stated Bill Keleher, chairman and CEO of Prudential New Jersey Properties. “Many of us across the country had the pleasure of attending recently this year’s Prudential Real Estate/Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices annual convention in Nashville, and we left exhilarated. BHHS represents a new day in real estate, with a level of excellence, professionalism and innovation that is taking the country by storm, market by market.

We look forward to empowering our agents with BHHS’s technology, tools and training so that they can serve their clients and grow their businesses like never before.”

“We’re pleased with the rapid growth of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and our momentum continues to build,” said Earl Lee, CEO of HSF Affiliates LLC. “Affiliates understand the strength and long-term potential of a real estate brand whose namesake is Berkshire Hathaway Inc., the world’s most respected corporation according to Barron’s.”
Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices has just been named ‘Real Estate Agency of the Year’ in the 2014 Harris Poll Equi- Trend Study, which means it received the highest ranking in the Real Estate Agency category based on the brand’s perception, familiarity and quality. The study was based on opinions of more than 40,000 U.S. consumers surveyed online earlier this year.
