Berkshire Hathaway is leaps and bounds above its competitors. It’s just terrific to work with them.”
Lis Reed, Smith’s daughter, is also a Berkshire Hathaway Luxury Collection specialist who will be working in Fairfield. “She sold six of my listings before they even went on the Multiple Listing Service, this year’’ Smith said. “My age group is selling the large expensive properties.
