| Warren Buffett is expanding in the Northwest. HomeServices of America, a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate, announced it is buying Seattle’s Prudential Northwest Realty Associates. Established in 1942, it joined Prudential in 1990 and is their largest affiliate in Washington, with more than 350 sales associates, six offices, and more than $740 million in sales. Under the new structure, the company keeps its name and remains a Prudential franchisee. It joins Portland-based Prudential Northwest Properties as the second organization in the Pacific Northwest to join HomeServices in 2012. |
