As chairman, Cabot will support the strategic growth initiatives of the organization as well as representing the company at the state, local and national levels of the real estate industry associations.
Cabot has served as president and CEO of BHHS California Properties since 2011 and under his leadership, BHHS California Properties has consistently ranked within the top tier of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices franchise network.
