The addition of a North Jersey office to its ranks marks the 59th in the Garden State that Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices has brought on board, characterizing the brand’s continued growth in the Northeast.
On March 11, West Orange’s Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Jordan Baris Realty was announced as the newest member of the global residential real estate brokerage franchise network, bringing on board 111 real estate professionals serving nine counties in northern New Jersey.
Ken Baris, the owner of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Jordan Baris Realty, has been at the helm of the office for more than 25 years, according to a statement from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CEO Christy Budnick.
“Having been a fan of Berkshire Hathaway for decades, the opportunity to affiliate with one of the world’s most respected brands was simply irresistible,” Baris said in a prepared statement. “Beyond a name, there is tremendous substance in terms of marketing support, lead generation, business consulting, growth strategy services and a culture aligned with who we are.”
Celebrating its 70th anniversary this year, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Jordan Baris Realty was founded by Ken Baris’ father, Jordan Baris, in 1952. Ken Baris is a three-time winner of RISMedia’s Real Estate Newsmaker of the year, and was recognized in 2022 as a “Luminary.”
“With our mission of delivering the highest level of service to our clients and our affiliation with the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices global brand, we are now in a position more than ever to provide true international exposure for our clients, and agents offering increased capabilities, tools and resources to achieve higher levels of success and to grow with us,” he continued.
As a result of joining, the office location and its agents now have access to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices’ active referral and relocation networks and the company’s “FOREVER Cloud” technology suite, which supports lead generation, marketing support, social media, video production/distribution and more.
“We could not be prouder to have Ken and his talented team join our global brokerage network,” said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chairman Gino Blefari. “I have known Ken for more than 25-years and he is an effective, charismatic leader. We are looking forward to supporting him as he takes Jordan Baris Realty to new chapters of growth and success.”
