The brokerage, which is locally owned and operated, joins a growing roster of affiliates that has joined the network since September 2013. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices now counts more than 33,300 agents and 1,011 offices in 47 states.

"Our network’s namesake is Berkshire Hathaway Inc., one of the world’s most trusted and respected corporations," said Sarver Realty Broker/Owner Daren Sarver. "We’re proud to represent this brand and believe it will help us grow our brokerage and better serve clients."

Sarver said Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices is an ideal fit for his company, as it’s built on Berkshire Hathaway’s values of trust, integrity, stability and longevity. "We live these values every day at Sarver Realty," he explained. "Our agents never lose sight of clients’ objectives and we deliver on our promises."

The brand transition launches new chapters in Sarver Realty’s proud history of growth, innovation and customer care. "Real estate consumers in greater Lake Charles will embrace our new brand as a symbol of sound guidance and quality service," he said. "Of course, top agents looking to take their careers to new heights should look no farther than Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices."

With the transition, Sarver Realty agents gain access to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices’ Global Network Platform – a robust suite of real estate tools and resources – plus professional education, business consultation, marketing support and the exclusive Luxury Collection program for high-end listings. The platform includes power lead generation and a handy mobile app driven by the cleanest and most accurate real estate information available.

Stephen Phillips, president of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, welcomed Sarver Realty to the network. "Daren Sarver and his team are well respected in southwest Louisiana," he said. "We’re proud they’re representing Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices."

Sarver Realty will commemorate its brand transition Oct. 16 at its new corporate headquarter located at 4865 Ihles Road in Lake Charles. The company’s Cabernet and Cream yard signs are now appearing throughout southwest Louisiana.
