Rei Mesa

In business, especially one that’s up and down like real estate is, the future can be as close as the next quarter, let alone the next year. A leader has to be a futurist to keep their team headed onward and upward. Rei Mesa knows that, and led his company—with 1,600 sales professionals and 30 locations—to consistent profitability during 2023.

Citing a “disciplined approach to business” at his company, Mesa is in turn described by colleagues as a persevering man with “positive exuberance, a growth mindset, a focus on the importance of relationships, the utmost integrity and a passion for the industry.”

“The most rewarding part of my career is having the opportunity to work with such incredible, outstanding and diverse people. We have some of the best and most dedicated professionals in the industry within every level of our organization. It stems from our four core pillars within Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices: trust, integrity, strength and longevity.”

Futurism has a connotation of revolution, but keeping a large business afloat fits the qualifications, too.
