BHHS Nevada announces record-breaking year
On Friday at Encore Las Vegas, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices’ largest independently owned franchise announced its Nevada sales achievements for 2018.
Americana Holdings, based in Henderson, has operations in Nevada, Arizona and California. Combined, the companies completed $5.2 billion in real estate sales in 2018, a 7.6 percent increase over their record-breaking $4.85 billion sales volume in 2017.
“Southern Nevada is consistently in the Top 10 U.S.markets when it comes to real estate,” said Mark Stark, CEO of Americana Holdings. “It was the No. 1 housing market in 2018, and most predictions are that we will continue that trend in 2019 in terms of both sales and price growth. The economy is predicted to steadily improve with multiple professional sports teams making long-term investments in the market. We expect that to contribute to a healthy 2019 for real estate.”
Furthering its commitment to supporting this economic development within Southern Nevada, Berkshire Hathaway continues its partnership with Las Vegas’ NHL hockey team, the Vegas Golden Knights, in 2019. It was one of the first corporate sponsors for the team in 2017, and since then, Berkshire Hathaway’s real estate executives have been working directly with players, management and support staff on their real estate purchases and sales.
In 2018, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Nevada Properties expanded its partnership with Zillow Instant Offers. Zillow’s Instant Offers connects homeowners to a comparative analysis from a local Zillow Premier Agent, with offers from investors. The company also won several awards, earning the No. 32 spot on the Swanepoel Mega 1000, a list of the top 1,000 real estate firms in the nation, and making the Inc 5000 Hall of Fame for being selected to the prestigious list of America’s fastest-growing private companies more than five times.
“Our investment in big data and sophisticated marketing platforms also gave our real estate sales executives an unprecedented advantage to sell their clients’ homes more quickly and for higher values than ever before,” said Gordon Miles, president and chief operating officer.
