Cupertino, Calif.-based real estate brokerage and franchise company Intero Real Estate Services on Monday announced three new franchisees.

Rich La Rue, who joins Intero as the company’s "area developer" in Southern California, is moving his two brokerage offices in Palm Springs and Palm Desert, Calif., to Intero affiliates. Together, the two offices have about 100 agents.

Also joining the Intero franchise system are two offices in San Jose, Calif., one of which was formerly operated as Windermere Real Estate, and a Milpitas, Calif., office that was formerly operated by Prestige Realty.

Intero franchise companies include Intero Franchise Services Inc. and Intero International Franchise Services LLC. Intero launched franchise operations in 2004.
