Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Québec, which was introduced in May of this year, has opened its new head office in the Midtown district of Montréal.
The fully renovated 1,900-square-foot space situated at 5329 Ferrier Street is equipped with executive offices, closing rooms, a kitchen and a large boardroom with video conferencing. Furnished by reputed Montréal home decor specialists Ambienti Design and District A, this location will house the management team, as well as the current roster of 16 brokers with room to grow.
“We wanted a space where people feel at home in an up-and-coming area that is easily accessible with plenty of parking,” said Sacha Brosseau, the company’s founder and Chief Executive Officer. “During these challenging times, we have made sure to fully service our brokers from a distance. Now, our growing family has a place they can call home.”
Chris Stuart, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, said, “We want to join Sacha Brosseau in extending a warm welcome to the new headquarters of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Québec. Since Sacha joined our network earlier this year, we have eagerly anticipated his moves to establish the brand in Québec.”
Since its start of operations in June, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Québec has made a strong impression in the market with numerous sales in some of the most prominent areas in and outside of the city. With room to grow, Brosseau wishes to “take his time and select the right brokers, which will add to the culture of family.”
“My partners and I have been friends for many years, and have always counted on one another in good and bad times. This is the culture that we want for our organization. It’s not about what you bring in financially, it’s about what you can add to make the team better,” added Brosseau, who looks to expand in other areas of the province. “I don’t see us ever being over 100 brokers in the whole province. Our goal is to get the right real estate professionals in the right areas, which will offer the best service to their clients, just like the exceptional team of brokers we currently have.”
Gino Blefari, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, said, “Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Québec is an excellent example of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices mission that is dedicated to continually improving the lives of our clients especially in such an unprecedented chapter in the history of the world. Their personalized response to the Covid-19 threat further embodies that Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices is a name that buyers and sellers can trust.”
