TORONTO, July 20, 2022 /CNW/ - Dan Washington has joined Peerage Realty Partners ("Peerage Realty") in the newly created role of Executive Vice-President, U.S. Core Services. His mandate is to lead the overall growth and performance of mortgage, title, and insurance business across the U.S. with a specific focus on delivering premium service, optimizing capture rates, and driving revenue for partner companies.
Dan joins Peerage Realty from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Carolinas Realty (BHHS), where he has been since 2006. In his most recent role with BHHS, Senior Vice-President, Sales, Dan oversaw all branch operations, including driving capture success in mortgage, title, home warranty, and insurance. He also played a key part in leveraging the technology and talent required to best support advisors and deliver exceptional business results for them and for their clients.
"As Peerage Realty has progressively expanded its footprint in the premium U.S. residential real estate business, we have placed an even greater emphasis on supporting the growth and profitability of our partner companies with core services offerings," said Gavin Swartzman, President and CEO of Peerage Realty Partners. "Adding someone of Dan Washington's proven calibre and experience is a compelling opportunity for our U.S. partners, their trusted advisors, and clients."
Dan will be working closely with Peerage Realty's partners and their leadership teams to identify opportunities and to manage new joint venture relationships with Kensington Vanguard (Title), Summit Funding (Mortgage), Cherry Creek Mortgage, LandTrust (Title) and others. He will also develop core service resources for those Peerage Realty partners who are in the earlier stages of building that capacity.
"We have identified exceptional possibility - and exceptional talent - to expand the services we can provide to our U.S. advisors and their clients," noted Scott Bunker, Chief Growth Officer and President, Core Services, Peerage Realty Partners. "We already have some key elements in place and Dan will add the focus and knowledge to help us accelerate our joint ventures and achieve overall organic growth."
Dan Washington said, "I look forward to working with the Peerage Realty team and the partner network to bring momentum to this emerging core services business division. The degree of respect and collaboration between the partner companies quickly convinced me that this is a special group with tremendous potential."
