Intero Takes on Monterey Peninsula With Opening of Larger Carmel Office and Addition of Industry Veteran J.R. Rouse
Rouse as the Vice President and Managing Officer of the Monterey Peninsula operation.
Intero, a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate and wholly owned subsidiary of
HomeServices of America, Inc., is proud to announce the hiring of J.R.
Rouse as the Vice President and Managing Officer of the Monterey
Peninsula operation.
J.R., a 20-year real estate veteran, moved to California in 1989, and
spent the next ten years in Silicon Valley at iconic technology brands
Silicon Graphics and Cybersource. He started his real estate career on
the Monterey Peninsula in 2000 when he moved to Pacific Grove. Six years
later, he opened his own real estate brokerage, J.R. Rouse Real Estate,
and was quickly honored by the Pacific Grove Chamber of Commerce as
Entrepreneur of the Year. He managed his firm until he joined Sotheby's
International Realty in January of 2014.
During his successful career, J.R. has taken on many leadership roles at
various local and state real estate organizations. He served on the
Monterey County Board of Realtors in a variety of positions including
Director (2002), Secretary/Treasurer (2003), President Elect (2004), and
President (2005). During 2007 and 2008, J.R. served as a director of
MLSListings Inc., and from 2008 to 2011, he served on the Strategic
Planning and Finance Committee for the California Association of
Realtors (C.A.R.), acting as the vice-chair in his final year.
“I am so excited about being with a company that has alignment with my
own personal and professional philosophies,” said J.R. Rouse, Intero
Vice President and Managing Officer. “We will combine my professional
connections and business drive with Intero’s marketing and operational
support and we will build something very special on the Monterey
Peninsula.”
The first step in the strategic plan to make Intero the number one
brokerage on the Monterey Peninsula was to increase the size and
location of the Carmel operation. This is in the works and soon Intero
Carmel will move from its current petite location on Lincoln between 5th
and 6th to its large and open office at 3 NE Ocean Avenue and
San Carlos.
“We are beyond thrilled to have J.R. join our leadership team running
our Monterey Peninsula operation,” said Tom Tognoli, Intero President &
Chief Executive Officer. “He brings a level of enthusiasm and passion
that is unprecedented in our industry.”
Joining J.R. in his move to Intero is Jan Pratt. Jan has been J.R.’s
Assistant and Broker Associate for more than 13 years and is an integral
part of his past success.
