Simplifying the complexity of real estate relationships for lasting success

Truth

A home purchase happens in moments but lasts a lifetime. So why do we treat the largest investment of our life as a transaction, taking advice from someone we barely know?

Beauty

A scalable digital foundation that enables the vast BHHS real estate agent network to become trusted advisors and create lasting relationships.

The situation

Berkshire Hathaway’s 280+ franchisee partners represent 60,000+ agents in more than 1,500 locations worldwide. With the ambition to rewrite the rules of real estate, and become a network of trusted “Agents for Life” — they needed a scalable digital foundation that could enable them to fulfill that ambition.

What We Did

We designed, architected, and implemented a digital ecosystem, powered by Adobe Marketing Cloud that:

  • Enables franchisees and agents to share their unique personal brand — while staying true to the integrity of BHHS
  • Makes it easy to customize, update, and publish valuable content
  • Integrates more than 10,000+ content publishers to power the platform with best-in-class MLS search and real-time listing information
  • Smartling + Global LT enables the global localization of corporate site information across 7 countries and 13 languages
  • Streamlines the transaction process for agents while creating a cohesive journey for home buyers
  • Can scale with additional integrations as BHHS evolves its offerings
