Prudential Network Realty is thrilled to announce that Berkshire Hathaway has partnered with its parent company, Brookfield Residential Property Services (Brookfield), to introduce a new residential real estate brand called Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, launching in 2013. The new partnership is among the few companies to be entrusted to use the Berkshire Hathaway name with consumers. This partnership creates the #2 real estate company in the United States, redefining the future of the real estate industry. Berkshire Hathaway’s reputation, headed by Warren Buffet, is among the world’s most admired companies, according to Fortune Magazine’s 2012 ranking.

“We will continue to provide excellent service to the Northeast Florida community as we have for the last 24 years,” said Prudential Network Realty Founder, President and CEO Linda H. Sherrer, who owns 71 percent of the company. “Given the strength of the Berkshire Hathaway brand and the integrity of HomeServices, we are pleased to have the backing of a real estate brand that will strengthen our already solid foundation in the real estate industry.”

Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices combines the financial strength of both organizations, coupled with the operational excellence of HomeServices and superior real estate franchising experience of Brookfield. This combination enables brokers and affiliates to attract and retain the best agents to provide superior customer service and to drive performance and profitable growth.
