Jeff Detwiler, former president and CEO of The Long and Foster Companies, resigned to pursue other interests and former President, General Brokerage at Long and Foster Real Estate, Boomer Foster, left his position, but will continue affiliating his real estate license with the firm. Detwiler spent almost 14 years with Long and Foster and Foster spent over 17 years with the business in various roles.
“It’s an honor to lead The Long & Foster Companies,” said Bain in a press release. “We’re prepared and ready to build on our organization’s strong foundation, financial stability and commitment to ensuring the success of our agents, employees and clients as we move forward together.”
Resigning is the elegant way of saying they were fired.
