Brown Harris Stevens

Behind the Scenes of our 2025 Fall Connecticut House Tour At BHS, a close-knit culture connects our markets and our people. Each season, that spirit comes to life through curated “House Tours,” where top agents come together to experience the firm’s most extraordinary listings. This fall’s Connecticut tour welcomed over 250 agents to explore premier homes across Lower Fairfield County — a true showcase of collaboration and excellence.

In this installment of our Join BHS Series, Frederick Peters — Associate Broker at Brown Harris Stevens and one of New York City’s most respected real estate leaders — reflects on his personal and professional journey, and what ultimately led him to join BHS. After founding and leading Warburg Realty for over three decades, Fred sold the company in 2021 and gained firsthand insight into how differently large corporate structures operate. That experience clarified something essential: for the next chapter of his career, he wanted to work in an environment guided by independence, ethics, and integrity — values that have defined his own leadership philosophy. “There was really only one place to go,” he says. “Brown Harris Stevens — the only remaining major privately owned company with a reputation not only for outstanding brokerage, but for an ethical and morally responsible approach to the business.” For Fred, the decision wasn’t simply about business. It was about alignment — with people and principles that matter. “I’ve known both Hall and Bess for years, and they are people who do what’s right because it’s right. That deeply held belief resonates throughout the company.” As he shares in this conversation, success in real estate — and in leadership — comes from doing the right thing in the right way. And that’s what continues to make Brown Harris Stevens feel like home. The legacy of Brown Harris Stevens lives on, as Agents new and established continue to break records and uphold our standards for exceptional real estate service. In this “Join BHS” series, our Agents have shared everything from what brought them to BHS to what makes working at our firm meaningful.

"A principle I live by is “If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together.” Leaders should not expect every agent to discover this on their own. Brokerages have a responsibility to help agents define their why. When they do, everyone benefits." David M. Deza, Managing Director for Brown Harris Stevens Miami, penned a thoughtful piece for RISMedia about why it's vital for agents to find their "why", and why good brokerages help them to figure it out. https://lnkd.in/eiVvvu3z
