Miami, FL – June 20, 2019 – EWM Realty International, one of the largest brokerage firms in the U.S. and South Florida’s luxury real estate leader, welcomed more than 500 associates and staff to the Mandarin Oriental this morning, announcing that the company has joined the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network and is rebranding as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices EWM Realty.

The venerated firm, which was purchased in 2003 by HomeServices of America Inc., has been a pillar in the South Florida community for more than 55 years. The exclusive event, which was overseen by EWM CEO and President Ron Shuffield and SVP and General Sales Manager Sherrie Porter, included speeches and presentations from HomeServices of America Executive Chairman Ron Peltier, as well as Gino Blefari, CEO of HomeServices of America and chairman of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, among other distinguished guests.

Leaders touted the fact that Berkshire Hathaway ranks third on Fortune magazine’s list of the “World’s Most Admired Companies for 2019” — preceded only by Apple and Amazon. As Shuffield reiterated, EWM has joined a progressive team with more than 50,000 sales associates and almost 1,500 offices — along with a growing international presence.
