HomeServices of America, Inc.™, a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate, recently announced the acquisition of Seattle-based Prudential Northwest Realty Associates.
Originally established in 1942, Prudential Northwest Realty joined the Prudential Real Estate affiliate network in 1990 and is their largest affiliate in the state of Washington, with more than 350 sales associates in six offices. In 2011, the company had more than $740 million in sales. Under the new structure, Prudential Northwest Realty Associates retains its name and remains a flagship franchisee of Prudential Real Estate’s U.S. network.
Prudential Northwest Realty serves the greater Seattle metropolitan area, including King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties, with offices in Bellevue, Burien, Federal Way, Kent, Lynnwood and Seattle, and has a long-standing reputation for providing clients with the highest level of customer service, expertise and resources. Mike Gain, president and CEO, is a lifelong resident of the area and is widely recognized for both his community involvement and his leadership. Gain will continue to manage the day-to-day operations, along with his sales management and leadership team.
Prudential Northwest Realty joins Portland, Ore.,-based Prudential Northwest Properties as the second organization in the Pacific Northwest to join the HomeServices family in 2012.
“Prudential Northwest Realty is a strong company with an excellent reputation in a growth market,” says Ron Peltier, chairman and CEO of HomeServices. “This aligns with our vision of acquiring distinguished companies in leading markets that share our core values. Mike is an accomplished real estate professional, and I am looking forward to having Mike and his team join the HomeServices family.”
“We are delighted to be in Seattle,” Peltier said. “And we continue to look for additional opportunities, both here and throughout other major markets in the U.S.”
