A northern Westchester County real estate agency is the first in the county to join Berkshire Hathaway Home Services, the residential real estate franchise brand launched last year by HomeServices of America Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate, and Brookfield Asset Management.
Prudential River Towns Real Estate will join the new national brokerage network and begin operating as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices River Towns Real Estate in mid-December, said a spokesman for the companies.
Berkshire Hathaway Home Services is operated by HSF Affiliates LLC, whose majority owner is HomeServices of America, the second-largest residential brokerage firm in the U.S. HSF also operates the Prudential Real Estate and Real Living Real Estate affiliate networks.
Owned by Cynthia and Joe Lippolis, River Towns Real Estate is a 16-year-old agency with offices in Croton-on-Hudson and Peekskill.
The agency’s Berkshire Hathaway affiliation will be officially announced at a private launch party from 3 to 6 p.m. Wednesday at The Hudson Room at 23 S. Division St. in Peekskill.
The property transaction that brought The Hudson Room, Peekskill’s newest downtown restaurant, to the city was handled by River Towns Real Estate.
