HSF Affiliates LLC, which operates Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, Prudential Real Estate and Real Living Real Estate, today congratulated 14 professionals from its brokerage network family for being honored on the inaugural Swanepoel Power 200 list.

Swanepoel Power 200 recognizes the 200 most powerful individuals in residential real estate and includes industry executives, thought leaders and innovators. The ranking is based on several key factors including an individual's personal influence; his or her tenure in the industry; the office he or she holds; the decision-making power of that office; the financial resources of his or her company or organization; that company or organization's significance and contribution to the industry; the company's geographic reach; and the candidates' recent activities, growth and potential. In short, power is defined simply as "the ability to make things happen," according the Swanepoel Power 200 web page.

"We are proud to have such a strong representation on the 2013 Swanepoel Power 200," said Earl Lee, CEO of HSF Affiliates, who himself was ranked #15 on the list. "It speaks to the quality and depth of our real estate brokerage family."
