The new company will be known as Coldwell Banker Commercial Bullard (www.cbcBullard.net) and will give the long established Coldwell Banker Bullard organization its first dedicated commercial real estate practice under its corporate umbrella.

The new company will be lead by Jim Fulton, who is also the managing broker of Coldwell Banker Bullard Realty's residential office in Peachtree City.

The commercial company will be headquartered in the current Coldwell Banker Bullard Peachtree City building

"This is an important step forward for the Coldwell Banker Bullard organization, as it will give us a separate operation focusing on commercial real estate, in addition to our existing residential offices," stated Steve Bullard, Owner and President, Coldwell Banker Bullard. "Terra Firma Broker/Owner Brad Jubin has developed a successful commercial real estate niche in the area over the past five years and it was a natural fit for our two organizations to join together. We're confident that Brad's extensive experience as well as his understanding of local commercial and corporate real estate knowledge throughout the Atlanta region will help quickly establish the Coldwell Banker Commercial Bullard brand name." With several years of experience serving this region, Jubin is recognized throughout the Atlanta market as a top commercial real estate specialist. He holds the Certified Commercial and Investment Broker (CCIM) designation and is a specialist in office, land, and general commercial real estate. Fulton stated that "Jubin's experience in commercial and corporate real estate will move the Coldwell Banker Commercial brand forward very quickly and provide quality mentoring and assistance to all our agents." "At a time then the industry objective has become "equitable" transactions, it is a blessing to be involved in a real "win-win" deal. Our new company is perfectly situated and staffed to provide the best possible service to our clients. This is a positive move for all of us," commented Jubin.

Fulton says, "Coldwell Banker Bullard is already an established brand in this area and we now have the opportunity to capture a major share of the commercial real estate market in the Atlanta and South Metro region as well. Merging the Coldwell Banker Commercial brand and its state-of-the-art marketing and technology tools with the strong name recognition of the Bullard organization will appeal to both commercial real estate brokers and clients throughout the area."

Fulton added that the new commercial operation has plans to quickly add experienced regional commercial real estate brokers to Coldwell Banker Commercial Bullard and that this new commercial operation will give the Bullard residential offices with over 250 agents the opportunity to refer commercial transactions.
