Much of this is already visible, yet much won\u2019t be seen for months or years.<\/p>\n<p>We do believe that each of the big five (including Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices) will be investing in technology and data like never before while also strengthening the service delivered to the global affiliates.<\/p>\n<p>It will be an interesting next 10 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are big leadership changes at many of the large franchises.
