Intero Celebrates 20 Years of Building Dreams

Long-Established Northern California and Nevada Real Estate Services Company Continues to Welcome Agents to Team Intero, Including More Than 380 New Agents in 2022

Intero, a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate and wholly owned subsidiary of HomeServices of America, Inc., is proud to celebrate 20 years of helping people achieve their real estate dreams.

Intero, which means “whole and complete” in Italian, was founded on delivering an innovative and unique experience for real estate agents, homebuyers, sellers, and property investors. Intero opened the doors of its first office in 2002 when founding members Gino Blefari, Kevin Moles, Tom Tognoli, John Thompson, Jerry Kiss, Terry Meyer and Brian Crane came together to combine their experiences under a single vision for an “ideal” brokerage. The group’s established careers in the real estate industry allowed the start-up to develop a value system—the Value Pyramid, which is the foundation for Intero’s culture and success.

“We took this value pyramid and wrapped it in a culture of discipline,” said Gino Blefari, CEO of HomeServices of America and founder of Intero. “We wanted this to be a place where you would focus hard on work, but work even harder on yourself.”

The brokerage provides a complete suite of best-in-class training, tools, services, and support for residential and commercial agents, as well as a comprehensive set of partnerships and services that conveniently and cost-effectively covers nearly every potential transaction or need in a property owner’s journey.

“Guided by our core principles of trust, respect, and integrity, we have grown from a Bay Area start-up to a nationwide entity encompassing 57 corporate and franchise offices with nearly 2,500 active agents and more than 120 staff members,” said Brian Crane, CEO and co-founder of Intero. “The Intero Foundation has also raised more than $6.2 million since its inception in 2002, and we are proud to have given back to more than 260 charities over the past 20 years in business.”

As a company built by real estate agents for real estate agents, Intero has always focused on its people. Intero’s positive and supportive culture is provided by the best leaders and managers in the business, and continues to draw top producers and newly licensed agents alike. In 2022 to date, Intero has welcomed 388 new agents (229 in corporate and 159 in franchise), including top producers like Meesun (Debora) Kang.

“We are incredibly excited to have Debora join our ever-growing San Jose office,” said Patrick Judge, Vice President and Managing Officer of Intero Willow Glen and Almaden/Blossom Valley. “Debora brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our team, and we are thrilled to support her as she takes her already thriving business to the next level.”

“In the 20 years we’ve been in business, we have been through recessions, natural disasters, the pandemic, but through every market shift we remain focused on bolstering the local economy by helping all with their residential and commercial real estate needs,” said Terry Meyer, Vice President of Intero Los Gatos, General Manager of Intero’s Commercial Division and co-founder of Intero. “We’re very fortunate to call Silicon Valley home and appreciate the many opportunities to represent everyone’s interests and assist them in reaching the best real estate outcomes possible.”

Annual sales volume for Intero has multiplied exponentially, from hitting $1 billion in the brokerage operation’s first full year to $5 billion in its second year to $16.2 billion in 2021.

“We are extremely thankful to the many individuals, partners and businesses who have supported us over the last 20 years,” added Crane. “Our 20th anniversary is not only a celebration, but also a resolution to continue leading the market with our disciplined focus on helping every agent and customer feel confident in their real estate ventures."

Intero, a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate and wholly owned subsidiary of HomeServices of America Inc., serves Northern California and Nevada with 21 offices throughout the greater Silicon Valley, San Francisco, Calaveras County, Western Nevada, and the Greater Lake Tahoe Region. The Intero Franchise network comprises 34 affiliates located in California, Nevada, Tennessee, and Texas. The company is headquartered in the heart of California’s Silicon Valley.
