<\/a><\/a>\nWaugh returns to HomeServices of America with a distinguished track record of leadership across both brokerage and franchise organizations. He previously led Prudential Northwest Real Estate prior to its acquisition by HomeServices and later served as President and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Northwest Real Estate, where he built one of the network\u2019s premier brokerage operations.<\/p>
\nMost recently, Waugh served as President of Coldwell Banker Affiliates, one of the industry\u2019s largest global franchise organizations. In that role, he played a key role in driving franchise growth, brand strategy and network performance.<\/p>
\n\u201cJason brings a rare combination of brokerage leadership, franchise expertise and enterprise perspective that will be invaluable as we continue to strengthen and grow our network,\u201d said Chris Kelly, President and CEO of HomeServices of America. \u201cWe are thrilled to welcome him back and confident in his ability to help guide HSF Affiliates into its next chapter following a thoughtful and deliberate transition with Vince Leisey later next year.\u201d<\/p>
\nAs part of a planned leadership transition, Jason will be selectively engaged in high-priority enterprise initiatives for the time being, specifically HomeServices\u2019 Insurance segment. Vince Leisey will remain at the helm of the franchise network, leading with the same focus and energy that defines our current momentum prior to the future leadership transition. Following that future transition, Vince will continue to play an important role within the network as Chair, while also remaining actively engaged as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Ambassador Real Estate, continuing to drive collaboration, connectivity, and performance across the franchise system.<\/p>
\n\u201cAs previously shared, this transition reflects a thoughtful and deliberate approach to leadership continuity,\u201d Kelly added. \u201cJason\u2019s immediate engagement ensures a seamless path forward while positioning HSF Affiliates for sustained long-term success.\u201d Vince Leisey added \u201cI remain fully committed to leading this network and building on the momentum we have today. At the same time, this transition has always been about positioning the network for long-term success. Jason brings the franchise network experience, perspective, and leadership needed for what comes next, and I look forward to supporting him when that time comes while continuing to stay closely connected to the incredible people and companies across our network.\u201d<\/p>
\nWaugh has been identified as Leisey\u2019s successor as part of a multi-year transition plan. This collaborative structure underscores HomeServices\u2019 commitment to stability, partnership and continued growth across the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network.<\/p>
\n\u201cI\u2019m honored to return to HomeServices of America and to contribute to several meaningful initiatives ahead of working alongside Vince and the HSF Affiliates team,\u201d said Waugh. \u201cThe strength of this network is built on its people, its brand and its shared commitment to excellence. I look forward to building on that foundation and supporting our franchisees as we continue to grow together when the transition occurs.\u201d<\/p>
\nHomeServices of America and HSF Affiliates leadership expressed confidence that Waugh\u2019s experience and strategic vision will further accelerate the growth and performance of the global Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices network.<\/p>
