Intero Announces Promotions of Three Inspirational Female Leaders

New Leadership Roles include Vice President, General Counsel and Broker of Record for Intero

Intero, a Berkshire Hathaway affiliate and wholly owned subsidiary of HomeServices of America, Inc. is proud to announce the promotions of Heather Victoria, Alexandria (“Alex”) Kavalaris and Mia Park.

“Strong female leaders are essential to driving more inclusive cultures and the best possible financial performance for Intero,” said Terry Meyer, Co-Founder and President of Intero. “For me and Scott Chase, one of our first initiatives as co-presidents was to elevate the roles of Heather Victoria, Intero's Controller, and Alex Kavalaris, Intero’s Corporate Counsel.”

Both Kavalaris and Victoria are now vice presidents and officers of the company. Mia Park is also now Broker of Record for Intero and an officer of HomeServices of America.

With more than 30 years of accounting and financial services experience, Victoria has managed the accounting functions for Intero for nearly 23 years, and oversees accounting, relocation, and compliance. In August 2024, she became a Finance Business Partner in HomeServices of America’s Shared Success Center, adding regional responsibilities. She is also now working closely with Scott Chase, President of Intero, on strategic partnerships. Victoria has a bachelor’s degree in business administration/finance and is a licensed real estate agent.

When asked, “What makes Intero special?” Victoria said, “It has to be the people—the business is constantly changing, but the one constant is the incredible people who are part of the organization.”

Kavalaris joined Intero as Corporate Counsel in June 2022 after working as outside counsel for Intero for many years. Promoted to General Counsel, she will continue to provide legal representation to the company and the nearly 1500 real estate agents associated with Intero and manage the company’s overall legal strategy. A frequent lecturer for the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors (SCCAOR) on changes in real estate law, legal requirements for brokers, and avoiding litigation, she also previously served on the Business and Litigation Executive Board for the Santa Clara County Bar Association. Kavalaris is a graduate of Santa Clara University (SCU) School of Law and holds bachelor’s degrees in political science and English from SCU.

Addressing her new role, Kavalaris said, “It is such a privilege to be part of a leadership team that truly operates as a team. Not only that, but input and ideas are welcome and truly valued. The culture at Intero is for hard work and excellence to be noticed and celebrated.”

The transition of Intero’s Broker of Record (BOR) from Doug Tobin to Mia Park was made late last year. Park joined Intero in 2003 with an interest not only in helping her clients, but also in learning management and serving agents.

“I was fortunate to have been coached by Gino Blefari from the beginning,” Park said. “He was my instructor at De Anza college where I took the RE Principles class. He advised me to keep my head down, do my work, get some experience—and opportunities would come my way.”

Park ran the company’s largest, most profitable office for close to ten years alongside John Thompson, one of Intero’s co-founders. She also managed the relocation department and Intero’s famous training center before coming into the Broker of Record position. As a leader of the brokerage, Park is entrusted with managing the day-to-day operations, ensuring smooth transactions, and upholding compliance with state real estate laws.

Raised in the Bay Area, Park knows the area like the back of her hand. She also speaks Korean as a second language. Park earned her bachelor's degree from Cal State Hayward and her master’s degree from the University of Birmingham.

“The guidance and support to agents from Victoria, Kavalaris and Park have been integral to the brokerage’s growth and success for the many years they have each been with Intero,” added Meyer. “We look forward to their continued contributions towards enhancing the credibility of the brokerage, supporting and teaching our agents, and maintaining confidence with our clients and partners.”

“It’s been said before and bears repeating; for more than 20 years, Intero has been comprised of collaborative leaders who enjoy working together and supporting each other’s strategies,” said Chase. “Developing, advancing and retaining strong, dynamic women is a powerful business case for our organization that only adds to—and benefits—our ability to shape the future of this industry.”
