View Comments the largest real estate companies in the United States, are joining together to sell more homes. “The best part of this alliance is that it is a true partnership where F.C. Tucker agents and clients benefit from the vast resources of a prominent national real estate brokerage,” said Jim Litten, CEO and previous sole owner of F.C. Tucker. Litten has relinquished his sole ownership to enter what he characterized as a "seamless" and "four-way partnership" with Howard Hanna and two members of Litten's executive team, president Patrick Purdue, and president of residential real estate services Donna Kreps.
