Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, the new real estate brokerage network operated by HSF Affiliates LLC, today announced that Prudential Preferred Real Estate has joined the network and is operating as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate.

The full-service brokerage, which serves the greater Denver area, is the next in a growing roster of affiliates that have joined the network since September. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices now accounts for more than 22,000 agents and nearly 600 offices in 26 states.

"We'd like to think that the best just got better in Denver," said Don Bobeda, broker/owner of Preferred Real Estate. "It has always been our goal to be the most respected company in our area and by joining Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices - a brand inspired by the world's most respected company, according to Barron's - we've taken a fantastic next step. The Berkshire Hathaway name is known worldwide for integrity, trust and success, and we're proud to be aligned with it."

Affiliation with the brand will help his company grow and recruit, Bobeda added. "Top agents want to represent a top brand, and, boy, do we have one in Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices," he explained. "We believe clients of all types will want to see that Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices name on a sign in the front yard."

Bobeda and his agents will commemorate the transition today at The Wildlife Experience facility in Parker. Bobeda will discuss the company's bright future as part of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network and how agents and clients will benefit. The event will also feature a performance by the University of Colorado's vocal group, In the Buff, and a video portraying transformation of the brokerage's exterior yard signs.

"We proudly welcome Don and his team to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices," said Stephen Phillips, network president. "They are fine and dedicated professionals who will be terrific ambassadors of the brand."

With the transition, Preferred Real Estate associates gain access to a robust real estate technology platform, ongoing business consultation, professional education, marketing support and more.
