REAL ESTATE SCOOP

JANUARY 21, 2021

MARY LEE BLAYLOCK NAMED TO 200 TOP LIST Mary Lee Blaylock, President and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, has once again been celebrated as one of the nation’s top residential real estate executives in the 2020 Swanepoel Power 200, a comprehensive roster of leading CEOs and senior executives.

Mary Lee oversees nearly 3,000 Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California agents in 45 offices, as well as the affiliated businesses Prosperity Home Mortgage, Pickford Escrow, The Escrow Firm, California Title, and HomeServices Insurance Agency. She began her career with Edina Realty in 1993, and in 2004 became president of HomeServices Relocation, a startup she grew into a global relocation business.

“I am so honored to be listed among the accomplished executives on the Swanepoel Power 200,” Mary Lee said. “I also am pleased to announce that many other executives from HomeServices of America, our parent company, are on the list as well. Their contribution to our

collective success is an ongoing source of pride.”

Placing No. 77, Mary Lee was considered an ideal candidate as measured by her personal influence, tenure in the industry, the financial resources of the company, and the organization’s significance and contributions to the industry.

Highly regarded within the real estate community as a personable, hands-on leader, Mary Lee joined Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties in 2014 as Senior Vice President and General Manager, and was named President and CEO in 2016.

No. 4 on the roster is Gino Blefari, CEO/Chairman of HomeServices of America (HSA)/Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices (BHHS). HSA, the nation’s second-largest real estate company,

is a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. As CEO, Gino leads more than 43,000 agents at company-owned brokerages across 30 states and Washington, D.C., plus over 53,000 agents at brokerages affiliated with its Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Real Living Brands. All told, HSA’s more than 79,000 agents do over $206 billion in annual sales.

Released annually in January, the Swanepoel Power 200 ranks the most powerful and influential executives in the residential real estate industry. To rank the leaders, eight criteria were reviewed and can be seen at www.realestatealmanac.com/executives/leaders/.

A Farmer’s Insights in Working with Nature

their practices. According to him, it takes a village to make a good farm work. The family is its core, but it also needs help from suppliers, bankers, government advisors, and of course, buyers of the farm’s produce. Food production is too important to be pushed out of sight and out of mind. Foodstuffs from anonymous distant places rarely align with local regulations or our values. Farmers rely on the shopping and voting habits of the rest of us to support and protect sustainable agriculture, as well as on government spending and trade policies that encourage

sound, local farming. No farm is an island but is part of a larger regional ecosystem and ultimately an interconnected world.

English Pastoral is a rare story, at times depressing but fundamentally hopeful, filled with hard-earned insights and the sensitivity to nature of a poet.

JANUARY 21, 2021

After being pushed by government policy and changing community patterns toward monoculture farming, Rebanks decided to seek a balance of traditional practices and new techniques. He concluded, as unwise, that land must be either perfectly wild or perfectly efficient and sterile. He recognized that diversity is a strength in farming, as in so much else.

Within a few decades, a biological survey of his farm documented over 200 plants and grasses. Soil, he realized, is the most important habitat on a farm. About half of all living things on Earth live in the soil. Moreover, grazing livestock, he learned, are the tools that can shape the soils for better or worse, what he calls the best new sustainable “technology” for making crop-growing fields healthy and fertile again. His soils are improving with a minimum of artificial inputs. A recent carbon audit found his farm to be trapping more carbon than they were using. Rebanks believes farms should run on sunshine, not on fossil fuels.

Rebanks’s journey involves gathering other locals to similarly try to rebalance

he book E nglish Pastoral is an account by James Rebanks of his changing insights on the farm he inherited, which has been in his family for 600 years. Located in the hills of the Lake District in northern England, the farm was part of an ancient agricultural landscape: a patchwork of crops and meadows, pastures grazed by livestock, and hedgerows teeming with wildlife. The profound changes he witnessed and participated in, to some extent, brought about by pesticides, artificial fertilizers, and monocropping did not lead to more income, nor less debt. Instead,

by Dennis Allen Rebanks observed the increasing sterility of the soil and the diminishing of birds and wild creatures.

These changes were imported from the American Midwest, where chemicals and genetics have transformed the family farm into industrial agriculture.
