Helen Hanna Casey

Hanna Holdings, Inc.

Helen Hanna Casey has been a real estate industry leader for more than four decades. She is CEO of Hanna Holdings, Inc., parent company of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services, one of the nation’s largest independently-owned brokerage firms. Her leadership and savvy marketing mind have helped Howard Hanna realize its potential by developing a multi-media approach to advertising. Innovation includes early use of television through the Showcase of Homes and seizing the opportunity to use technology as a marketing vehicle in the mid-‘90s.

“This award recognizes what we do every day in our market, and not only what we achieve, but what we believe,” said Casey. “I would have to say many have made us the newsmakers; we didn’t do it on our own. To all the winners and the RISMedia staff of incredible people, thank you for making me into what I am today.”

A trailblazer in her own right, Casey has grown to be an industry leader both locally and nationally. She was the first woman to be elected to and serve as president of West Penn Multi-List, and the first woman to serve as chair of the NAR Real Estate Services Advisory Group. She has also chaired other national groups such as The Realty Alliance, the NAR Large Firm Broker Involvement Board and the NAR Corporate Investors Council. Casey also served on NAR’s Executive Committee.
