By Alain Pinel

General Manager of Intero Prestigio international Intero Real Estate Services, Inc. a Berkshire Hathaway Affiliate

When Berkshire Hathaway Home Services rings your bell, you open the door.

You listen. Nobody in the real estate business (or any business for that matter) knows more than they do. No other firm inspires the same respect. Last year, the brand was voted the best real estate firm in the country by people best qualified to judge: buyers & sellers.

Warren Buffett, judging by the many books I read about him, has a simple, sane & safe business way to look at potential acquisitions. He wants to buy success and growth potential (Hard to find in the real estate field full of land mines these days). Then, he wants to meet and get to know the owners, those who are running the show. The meeting of the minds is based on trust, mutual respect….

And the numbers of course.

The reason for all that is quite simple: he wants the people who built the success story to stay on the jobs, the same jobs; to keep on running the firm. He does not want to do it or does not care to put new people at the helm. Why make waves; why make a change if all goes well? It’s a win-win.

My favorite Warren Buffett‘s quote about keeping the same leadership team in place says it all: “If my job was to manage a golf team, and if Jack Nicklaus or Arnold Palmer were willing to play for me, neither would get a lot of directives from me about how to swing.” Makes sense, don’t you think?

So here we are, a proud affiliate of Berkshire Hathaway. We were strong; we are stronger. We are moving forward. In a way, it is life as usual for all of us, except that we are now playing on a bigger field, with the best ownership, the best players and the best resources, financial means, tools & services. All that for the most important reason of all: to satisfy, more than ever, the needs & ambition of our clients, in the Silicon Valley and worldwide.
