In 2025, Renée Gonzales expanded her impact on the real estate industry while continuing to lead Long Companies as CEO. In June, she was appointed vice president – Core Services Integrations for HomeServices of America, a newly created national role focused on accelerating growth and strengthening integration across brokerage, mortgage, title and insurance services. In this position, she works across the network to align strategy, coach best practices and improve agent adoption of core services to deliver a more seamless consumer experience.
That same people-first philosophy defines her leadership at Long Companies. “At Long, growth isn’t just about numbers—it’s about building careers and lives that thrive,” Gonzales says. “My role as CEO is to create the conditions for success—getting the right people in the right roles, then providing them with the support and freedom to do their best work.”
Her career journey reflects that same thread of support and collaboration. She began in mortgage in 1998, launched Long Mortgage in the early 2000s, expanded oversight of core services in 2009 and became CEO in 2021. Gonzales’s commitment to an integrated services model has helped position Long Companies as a blueprint for collaboration between brokerage and core services. By aligning mortgage, title and insurance, her teams simplify the transaction, reduce stress and create better outcomes for agents and clients alike.
