Brown Harris Stevens (BHS), the premier privately owned real estate services company celebrating 150 years in business, has announced their company and regional 2022 top deals, top individual agents, and top teams awards in the season three premiere episode of The Lead with Bess Freedman video series, featuring an interview with industry legend Barbara Corcoran.
