Buffett praises new CEO for 'fast' and 'smooth' acquisition

Warren Buffett tells CNBC's Becky Quick new Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel has "launched" with his first major deal, the $6.8 billion acquisition of Taylor Morrison Home, a residential homebuilder and developer with operations in 12 states.

On Monday's "Squawk Box," Becky quoted Buffett from a phone conversation the day before when the deal was announced:

"Greg did this faster than I could have done it, smoother than I could have done it, and I never talked to the CEO.

"He has launched."
