Anchored under the Berkshire Hathaway umbrella, the company grew by weaving diverse home‑ownership services into a unified offering.
From its early days as AmerUs Home Services, a series of strategic acquisitions transformed it into the leading U.S. residential brokerage by transaction volume.
Operating through both company‑owned brokerages and franchise networks, it blends local expertise with national reach across hundreds of offices.
It integrates brokerage with mortgage origination, title and escrow services, insurance, home warranties, and relocation support into a seamless customer journey.
Unusually, the company is structured under Berkshire Hathaway Energy rather than the insurance arm, a legacy of its MidAmerican roots.
Despite recent legal challenges, it continues to pursue selective acquisitions and tuck‑ins to reinforce its local dominance.
