Real estate company names president of New Homes Division

Chesapeake-based Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices RW Towne Realty announced Tuesday that it has promoted Dianne Gordonn to president of its New Homes Division.

Gordonn has about two decades of experience in the real estate industry. According to her LinkedIn account, she has served nearly two years as chief operating officer of the new homes division and previously worked 17 years in various roles at Rose & Womble Realty. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Rose & Womble Realty merged in 2023.

In her new capacity, Gordonn will lead the team that helps represent builders and sell new homes for the builder. She will continue her responsibilities as chief operating officer and human resources director.

In a news release, the company said Gordonn “has consistently demonstrated exceptional leadership and business acumen, earning the admiration of both our agents and builder clients.”

Gordon is succeeding J. Van Rose Jr., who led the division for over 30 years. Van Rose continues to serve as the company’s CEO and executive chairman of the board.

“Dianne is someone I hold in the highest regard within the industry,” Van Rose said in a statement. “Her qualifications and dedication make her the perfect fit for this significant role, and I am genuinely excited for her and the future of our company.”
