Prairie Path, Realtors®, based in Elmhurst, is a leading real estate brokerage serving Chicago’s west suburbs. The brokerage is the most recent addition to the expanding roster of affiliates that have joined the network since September.

“We are so thrilled to have joined the network,” said Mickey Muisenga, broker and owner of Prairie Path, Realtors®. “This transition is a huge milestone for our brokerage, and we know that becoming part of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices will provide our company and agents with even more distinction in our competitive marketplace.”

Muisenga said the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices brand will be sought out in the west suburbs. “We believe our new brand will be warmly embraced by real estate consumers,” he explained. “Likewise, top agents will understand the potential of a brand whose namesake is Berkshire Hathaway – the world’s most respected company according to Barron’s – and will want to represent it.”

As part of the transition, Prairie Path, Realtors® agents gain access to a robust real estate technology platform, ongoing business consultation, professional education and marketing support. To celebrate joining the network, the brokerage will hold a ribbon-cutting with agents and the local chamber of commerce later this spring.

Welcoming Muisenga and his team to the network, Earl Lee, CEO of HSF Affiliates, said: “We’re glad that Prairie Path, Realtors® has chosen to join our growing network.
