Who is Pickford Real Estate Inc?
Pickford Real Estate Inc is the licensed corporation behind the brand. Its Department of Real Estate record shows status Licensed, no former names, a main office at 11828 Rancho Bernardo Rd, Suite 210, San Diego, CA 92128, no disciplinary action, and 2,296 salespersons affiliated with it as of 28 October 2026.[1] The record lists “Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties” as an active business name from 21 August 2013.[1]
How did the brand begin?
Inman reported on 23 September 2013 that HomeServices of America owned the rebranded Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, the first of 26 Prudential-affiliated brokerages committed to transition to the new brand, launching with about 3,200 agents in more than 62 offices across Southern California and the Central Coast. Inman also noted the brand’s cabernet and cream colors.[3] The Executives’ Association’s 2025 article gives a similar history, saying the firm was founded in 1985 as Pickford Realty and joined the Prudential franchise in 1992; that is the association’s account, not a record.[4]

How does a salesperson relate to a broker?
A salesperson works under the supervision of a licensed broker and may not perform licensed acts without a responsible broker.[7] So Charles Murch is licensed as a salesperson, and Pickford Real Estate Inc is the licensed broker responsible for him.[5]
