The Long & Foster Companies

Patrick Bain, CEO of The Long & Foster Companies, has played a pivotal role in transforming the company through innovation, collaboration and a commitment to agent empowerment. Under his leadership, Long & Foster embraced its all-inclusive business model, integrating real estate, mortgage, title, insurance, inspection, moving and property management services under one team. The successful launch of the “It’s the One” marketing campaign further solidified Long & Foster’s unique position in the industry.

“Building our team and uniting our company as one Long & Foster is the most rewarding experience in my 30-year career,” says Bain. “We believe that our all-inclusive approach to listing and selling real estate is the future of real estate, and we will continue to lead the market going forward.”

Bain has also fostered a culture of collaboration across Long & Foster’s diverse business lines, helping develop the “Pay at Closing” initiative, a partnership between the company’s inspection and settlement operations designed to simplify the home-buying process.

In addition, Bain equipped Long & Foster agents with the tools, resources and training needed to excel in an evolving real estate landscape, from a comprehensive weeklong conference focused on settlement changes to strategic partnerships providing free coaching and business development programs.
