O’Keefe Casto merges with Prudential Americana Group

Rising real estate company O'Keefe Casto announces their merge with market leader Prudential Americana Group.

Owned by Billy O'Keefe and Richard Casto and managed by Dawn Whittaker, the company's agents will now operate out of Prudential Southwest office's on Sunset Road near Durango Road and the Interstate 215, the Las Vegas Beltway.

"Prudential Americana Group is growing in every area of our business," said Chief Executive Officer Mark Stark. "And one of the most important elements in the growth of a company like ours is to bring in the best and brightest talent available."

Stark previously worked with O'Keefe at Prudential prior to the formation of O'Keefe Casto as a separate real estate firm last year.

"Billy O'Keefe and Rich Casto are among the best in the Las Vegas real estate industry. We are thrilled to partner with such top-notch talent," Stark said.

According to Casto, the timing was right for the two firms to join together.

"It was the right time for both companies," he said. "Ours was one of the only firms still experiencing positive growth and our business philosophies are very similar."

O'Keefe agreed, saying one of his top business goals was to help change the public's perception of real estate agents in Las Vegas.

"We built our business on accountability and following through on our commitments to clients," he said.

"We were very selective with who we hired and set out to change the public's perception of our industry. We were thrilled with the results and look forward to expanding our philosophy to the clients and partners of Prudential Americana Group."
