When you partner with Intero Real Estate Services, you’re doing more than working with a real estate agent — you're joining forces with a powerhouse that combines innovation, integrity, and community.

Origins & Ownership: Built in Silicon Valley, Backed by Strength

• Intero was founded in 2002 during a time when the real estate market in Silicon Valley was struggling after the dot-com bust. Its founders believed the area needed a brokerage unlike any other — one built on local knowledge, forward-thinking technology, and real service. 

• In 2014, Intero became a wholly owned subsidiary of HomeServices of America, Inc., a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate. This means it carries the stability, resources, and reputation of one of the industry’s most respected companies. 

Mission & Culture: Trust, Respect, Integrity

• At its core, Intero is guided by its values: trust, respect, and integrity. It empowers people to achieve their dreams through real estate — whether they are first-time buyers, long-term investors, or homeowners selling a deeply loved home.

• The founders’ vision included creating a company culture that values continuous improvement, innovation, and service to community. Intero’s agents aren’t just salespeople — they are consultants, guides, and partners. The company invests heavily in training via programs like Intero Academy, which delivers real-world training to its agents so they stay sharp and informed. 

Innovative Partnerships & Client-Focused Programs

Intero doesn’t just list homes — it offers added value through special programs and partnerships that benefit both buyers and sellers. A few examples:

• Intero Home Check Program (in partnership with HomeSmiles and American Home Shield) — For sellers: this includes an 18-point home maintenance service before listing, plus home inspection and warranty options. The idea is simple: reduce surprises in inspection reports, increase appeal, and deliver a better product to both buyers and sellers. 

• Home-Ready Program — This is focused on elevating homes’ market value via strategic repairs, renovations, and remodeling, often with flexible financing or terms so sellers can make improvements without upfront burdens. 

Why Partnering with an Intero Realtor Matters

Choosing an Intero Realtor means you’re getting:

• Quality Service: Because agents are backed by robust training, mentorship, and tools like Intero Academy. They are equipped to navigate all kinds of market conditions.

• Strong, Stable Support: With the backing of HomeServices of America, the infrastructure is there — tech, marketing, legal, financial — so your transaction is more seamless, safer, and better managed.

• Collaborative Brokerage: Intero agents tend to have broader resources: design services, maintenance programs, staging, home preparation, and partnerships that can reduce your costs or stress. Programs like Home Check and Home-Ready are examples of value you might not get in smaller, less resourced brokerages.

Something to Keep in Mind: The Intero Difference in Action

Imagine you want to sell your home. With Intero:

• Before listing, your home can undergo maintenance (via HomeSmiles), getting you better condition for inspections.

• If you need to refresh or repair, the Home-Ready Program can help you do so without fronting all the cash immediately.

• If you're buying, you may benefit from listings already in great shape, clear disclosures, and fewer surprises.
