New “for sale” signs are going up around Fishers now that the Prudential Realty office has become a Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Indiana Realty office. The new office at 8402 E. 116th St. had an official ribbon cutting Oct. 7 as part of a rollout statewide of the new Berkshire Hathaway offices.
Berkshire Hathaway, famous for its CEO Warren Buffett, bought out Prudential Realty and is changing Prudential offices across the country to Berkshire Hathaway Home Services offices.
Julie Catton, sales manager and managing broker of the Fishers office, said her office is excited about the change. “We are so proud to be carrying that name in yards. We feel like we are taking this to the next level. We are calling it the revolution in real estate. We’ve got awesome tools for the support of marketing and selling homes and also for marketing our agents. We have very user-friendly searches on our website that consumers can use to search our homes and then contact our agents through that.”
Catton said her group’s advantage is its people. “Agents in Fishers are very Fishers-oriented. They live here, they play here, they work here, they go to school here. Our agents are incredibly up to date with all of the current tools and technology. They are so familiar with the area and they are on top of it. The advantage that the company has over other companies is the technology, our tools and our platform for innovative marketing.”
Berkshire Hathaway got into the real estate industry a year ago and is now in 48 states and has a global presence. The Fishers office has 30 agents.
