Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago Names Diane Glass CEO<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Unknown-3\"Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago announced that Diane Glass was promoted to Chief Executive Officer. As the head of the firm\u2019s Strategic Leadership Team of President Mark Pasquesi and Senior VP and General Manager Joe Stacy, she will be responsible for the company\u2019s 1,500 real estate professionals in 24 offices serving the Chicago metro area, southwest Michigan, northwest Indiana and southeast Wisconsin, as well as the company\u2019s affiliated lending, title and insurance businesses.<\/p>\n

In the last twelve months, Glass and the team have navigated the brokerage through a name change, expanded the new Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago brand to Downers Grove and River Forest, and celebrated the company\u2019s naming as the #1 Top Workplace in Chicago in 2019 by the Chicago Tribune. <\/p>\n

Even before Illinois and the surrounding states enacted Stay at Home Orders this spring, Glass acted swiftly, transforming the offices to remote work within days, in the midst of a very strong spring real estate market. The affiliated lending and title companies, Prosperity Home Mortgage and Fort Dearborn Title were the first to offer zero touch video closings. And Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Chicago agents were the first to establish Virtual Open Houses on social media when traditional open houses weren\u2019t allowed. <\/p>\n

\u201cDiane exemplifies the leadership attributes of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and the Forever Brand ideals,\u201d said Chris Stuart, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. \u201cWe are excited about the company\u2019s new energy and ideas, and how they are using the Forever Agent platform and the global reach of the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brand as a springboard for growth.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cLast year, we implemented a new model for real estate leadership by bringing together three experts in areas that are key to agent success,\u201d said Blefari. \u201cThis talented, agile team has exceeded our expectations with the commitment to all-inclusive real estate service and creating exceptional customer experiences.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glass has been the company\u2019s Chief Operating Officer since 2016, after being the VP of Sales Development and managing branch offices. <\/p>\n
