Allan Dalton’s Road from Basketball to COO of Real Living Real Estate

(BRK.A), (BRK.B)

When Allan Dalton played basketball back in 1971 at Suffolk University he hoped it would lead to bigger things. It almost led to an NBA career when he was drafted by the Boston Celtics, but where that journey fell short, his real estate career kept rising.

HSF Affiliates LLC, which is majority owned by Berkshire Hathaway, and operates the real estate brokerage franchise networks Real Living Real Estate, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Prudential Real Estate, has appointed Dalton as chief operating officer at Real Living Real Estate.

Dalton is the former president and CEO of Realtor.com, and has 30+ years of leadership experience, including serving as the co-owner of a 32-office firm, the EVP of Coldwell Banker New England and EVP of NRT National.

Dalton said he’s excited to join HSF Affiliates and the Real Living brand. “Real Living has attracted a legion of fiercely loyal brokers and associates who possess a deep connection to the brand and to one another,” he explained. “Their integrity, independence and optimism make it inspiring to work with them and for them.”

Speaking of his basketball career, Dalton may not have played with the Celtics, but he did play professionally overseas. In Greece, he went by the name Alexos Daltos, and on a touring Lithuanian team he used Janus Ambrosius. Anything to keep the ball bouncing.

Today, Dalton is rising to the top, and this time he even gets to use his own name!
