Whether you’re a first-time home buyer or looking to find your dream property, Herb Butzke will successfully navigate you through the process. Having recently purchased their dream home, Herb and his wife Donna spent over a year searching the Berkshires and neighboring Hilltowns for the perfect home. Working with William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty made the difference, locating our “one of a kind” dream property in beautiful Rowe, Massachusetts. Herb has purchased and sold many homes in the past and knows the importance of being a good listener, having excellent customer service skills, and being a superior negotiator.
Herb has spent the past several decades in the consumer products industry before becoming a full-time real-estate agent, working for several major corporations serving as a Vice President of sales. That corporate background, coupled with a tenacious work ethic and always going the extra mile for his clients, set the stage to transition into the real estate sector.
After working with many real estate companies as a customer, Herb found no other company offered the resources and services provided by William Pitt Sotheby's International Realty and the Sotheby’s Brand, making his career choice in Western Massachusetts an easy one.
Herb is an avid outdoorsman and loves the great mix of cultural, extreme sports and the unspoiled outdoors that western Massachusetts has to offer. His family farms most of their food and continues to expand their homesteading efforts with a boutique Maple Syrup operation. He is active in his community holding several positions in the local town government and a member of his local snowmobile club. Herb attended Syracuse University where he studied Sales Marketing and Personnel /Industrial Relations. Herb also competed at Syracuse playing division 1 football and was fortunate to play against many notable NFL hall of famers and attributes his competitive edge on the field to his success in sales today. The only thing that overshadows his collegiate football memories was meeting his wife Donna at Syracuse University and now having their two children, a daughter, and a son as well as a dog and cat, enriching their day to day lives formerly in New Jersey and now here in the Hilltowns of Western Massachusetts.
Giving back to the less fortunate has been a large part of their lives over the years and now more than ever on their 100+ acre country farm. They host children through The Fresh Air Fund giving kids an opportunity to get out of the city and spend a week in the country to have new and exciting experiences. Herb and Donna have been hosting kids for the past 20 years and feel they get as much out of the program as the kids.
Please contact Herb to discuss how he can help you buy or sell your next home and let the power of Sotheby’s International Realty work for you!
