Hard to believe Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices is celebrating the...

Time Flies!  It is hard for me to imagine that Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices ("BHHS" f/k/a Prudential) is 10 years old! But indeed, it is!

 www.endrebarath.com

The Brokerages' first office was the Beverly Hills Office. I clearly remember the issues with the Prudential Licensing Name and the BHHS powers to be decided why bother negotiating with what could turn out to be a costly endeavor just to keep the Prudential name? Why not switch to a better, more widely recognized name since Home Services of America is a Berkshire Hathaway Company.

At the time, leadership made the decision to assume all costs involved with switching the name on letterhead, business cards, signage, you name it. The magic transition date was September, 23, 2013. Certainly not an easy task, but the support was truly amazing.  The rest is history.  Ten years later, Berkshire Hathaway Home Services is one of the most recognized names in Real Estate across the U.S. and globally - Toronto, Montreal,  Cancun, Germany, London, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Dubai, New Delhi to name a few.

BTW I had this listing and in the middle of the marketing we switched to BHHS:)

Hard to believe ten years just flew by!

And while I'm thrilled to be a part of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services and am looking forward to what the next 10 years will bring to this brokerage, as we all know it's critical to our clients that we provide our best service in their representation no matter with what brokerage we are affiliated.

Warren Buffet certainly took advantage of the down market to scoop up a bunch of real estate, haha.  It takes money to make money.

Hi Endre... happy 10th anniversary to BHHS in Los Angeles. I assume you are celebrating 10 years in your market. I started my real estate career with Prudential in Charlotte and I left before it became BHHS, but I could swear we've had a BHHS in Charlotte for more than 10 years.

Endre Barath, Jr. - I remember when it changed 10 years ago, but it doesn't seem that long ago. They have done very well for themselves and so have their agents that I know of.

Nina Hollander, Broker  the Beverly Hills Office was the first to make the switch and then the rest of the country followed. How interesting you were with Pru. I was with CB's South Office in Beverly Hills, before switching over the Pru. Endre

WOW! I remember the hulabaloo and the change initiating on the west coast, Endre! I didn't realize yours was the first to make that switch and cannot BELIEVE it's been 10 years already!

The agent who represented me in two home purchases when Ray and I were getting married and our first one together, was with Prudential. She encouraged me to get my license when I asked her about it. Then, I joined Coldwell Banker instead of Prudential because I wanted to get into development and the mentor for that was there. With the recession and development drying up, I had no reason to stay at CBU so, I made the move - again, not to Prudential! LOL

Talking about name recognition, that must be a west coast thing too - Prudential was BIG here and we had never heard of BHHS! Now, of course, we all know and love it here but, it wasn't the most recognized 10 years ago. It's like other national & international brokerages - it has everything to do with the local office...all of them are certainly not created equal!
