no question I would call her when I got a house for myself,” Lee says. He did call her when he was ready to buy, and she helped him buy a home in Arbor Greene four years ago. Lee called her again when he realized he wanted something “bigger and better,” and Mercy helped him find a different house in Arbor Greene. “I could not have been more pleased,” he says of all the transactions he’s conducted with his agent.

TheBuffetConnection

If the name Berkshire Hathaway seems familiar beyond the real estate business, it’s because it is derived from the holding company Berkshire Hathaway, Inc., which is chaired by billionaire financier and company CEO Warren Buffett. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Properties Group is one of the companies that make up HomeServices of America, Inc., which is owned by Berkshire Hathaway Energy, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway, Inc. The HomeServices group of companies, of which Florida Properties Group is one, provides all of the resources involved in supporting real estate transactions and investments under one roof, such as mortgage originations, title and closing services, insurance, home warranties and even relocation services that span the globe. The company is a strong presence in the local market, as well. What is now called Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Florida Properties Group was originally founded in 1959 as Tropical Realty. Dewey Mitchell and Allen Crumbley acquired the business in 1984, then aligned with the

Neighborhood News

Prudential Real Estate Network in 1988. In 2012, Berkshire Hathaway purchased that group. There was a two-year transition period between 2012-14 for the change to become complete. This 60-year history has coincided with the New Tampa and Wesley Chapel areas evolving from scrub land and cow pastures into vibrant, active communities. Bass, a Florida native, is quite familiar with the market and its transformation. “I grew up in Wesley Chapel before it was Wesley Chapel,” he says. “I’m one of the very few people you will meet who is actually from the area.” Bass and the agents who work in the office are committed to serving the community around them. He says they held a successful food and toy drive for Metropolitan Ministries this past holiday season, and they support a charity called Sunshine Kids, which gives kids who have a terminal disease a week in Orlando to go to Disney and Universal. Some Berkshire Hathaway volunteers even go with the kids as chaperones or to help push wheelchairs, or whatever they can do to make it the best possible experience for the kids. “It’s being part of the community and giving back and being of service to the community,” Bass explains. “We help buyers buy homes and help sellers sell homes. How else can we contribute?” BerkshireHathawayHomeServices FloridaPropertiesGroupislocatedat 26771S.R.56,inthesameshopping plazaasBuffaloWildWingsnearI-75.
