Posted

Shelbyville — Two of the largest Coldwell Banker firms in Tennessee have merged their operations. Coldwell Banker Segroves-Neece of Shelbyville has merged its operations with Coldwell Banker Southern Realty which has offices in Maury and Lawrence Counties. The merged firm will move forward under the Coldwell Banker Southern Realty name.

Tom Segroves, first opened Segroves Realty in 1948. The firm has operated in the area since that time under a number of different entities. In 1977 Harold Segroves joined the firm and then purchased the firm in 1980. The firm became affiliated with Coldwell Banker in 1986. The firm has been one of the largest real estate firms serving the Shelbyville and Bedford County markets for some 75 years.

Rich Cosner, the owner of Coldwell Banker Southern Realty, has been in the real estate business for over 35 years operating in Southern California, Middle Tennessee, and Northern Alabama markets.  His California firm, Prudential California Realty, become one of the largest Prudential firms in the nation. Since moving to Tennessee his firm has operated under the Coldwell Banker brand. His firms have closed over 55,000 real estate transactions under his leadership. His Lawrence County office now does more business than the next four firms combined.

Cosner’s vision for the Shelbyville-Bedford County markets is very “forward looking,” a recent press release stated.

According to the press release, “he will bring his programs to his real estate agents that enable them to work in every facet of the market.” The press released continued that he is especially skilled at working with his top-producing sales professionals and showing them how they can double and triple their business.

His firm also offers a gateway into the real estate business for those people who want to get their real estate license and embark on a truly professional and high paying career.

Cosner is well known nationally for his leadership and growth of his firms. The press release stated, “He is a man of unquestioned integrity and works hard individually and collectively with his real estate professionals to help them grow their business.”

While Coldwell Banker Southern Realty brings significant technology and systems to his firm, he still prefers his real estate professionals to operate in an old-fashioned handshake culture. “Say what you mean and do what you say!”

In Shelbyville the firm will continue to operate from the Coldwell Banker office at 1708 N. Main Street. The firm currently operates with about 20 real estate professionals. Harold Segroves will continue to be the licensed real estate broker of the office.
