December 2014 Dear Drysdales, Today marks a very momentous occasion for our organization. Our commencement date has arrived. We are now Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Drysdale Properties and bring to the real estate market the powerful stability, strength, integrity and, above all, exceptional quality of the Berkshire Hathaway brand. From this point forward we will be viewed in a new light as a new company. This is our opportunity to shine – to redefine and raise our position in the real estate community and increase the industry standard around us. We believe that our consumers deserve to have an extraordinary experience. We have been selected to join the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network because of our proven ability to deliver exceptional service to our clients. Together, we will continuously strive to build relationships and serve remarkably. Over the next several weeks, you will be introduced to new products and services that will enable you to serve your clients at a greater level. Now is the time to stay connected and be an active participant in the positive life we’re creating together. I encourage you to use our brand transition as a special opportunity to reach out to your clients, prospects, family and friends to share our exciting news and to ask for the opportunity to serve them in the future. With all this said, what is really important in this transition is what we have become as individuals and as a collective organization. … a company that dreams big and works hard to achieve. … a company that is motivated by greatness, not money. … a company that knows that collectively we are more powerful together. … a company that believes “it is about the people” … a company that cares about doing the right thing … a company that serves It is an honor and privilege to be associated with each of you. We are excited that you have joined us for the journey, and I am proud to be a Drysdale.
