“We are committed to supporting our veterans and welcome their high level of integrity, skills and commitment; highly desirable qualities that we seek in our sales professionals,” said Candace Adams, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England and Westchester Properties CEO. “We are proud to have them represent our company.”

“I joined Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices New England and Westchester Properties because of the Vet program they offered as well as it being a great company,” stated Bryant Drye, a veteran from the US Navy and Realtor from the Norwalk, CT office. “Real estate has been something I’ve always been interested in and I saw this as an opportunity to work with a company that’s invested in helping me take my passion to the next level. It’s been a great experience! I tell all my military friends about the program. It’s tough as a veteran to find companies willing to invest in our future.
