According to Joe Dunfee, President of Prudential One Realty, “This is a culmination of four years of discussions and planning.  I am excited about the dynamics of this new partnership. Prudential Preferred, REALTORS® is an agent and customer centric company and is on the cutting edge of technology which helps us better serve our customers. We are taking the best of what both companies offer and creating a more effective way to support our agents.” The merger creates the only real estate company to span from the Michigan-Indiana border to the Straits of Mackinac.
