PILKERTON REALTORS® JOINS PARKS REALTY AND VILLAGE REAL ESTATE

Pilkerton Realtors®, a Nashville-based full-service residential real estate brokerage, has merged with Parks Realty and Village Real Estate creating the largest residential real estate firm in the state with more than 1,400 agents and $6.5 billion in annual sales volume. The firm’s combined market share in Middle Tennessee equals 15%, nearly twice as much as the next competitor in the market.

Locally owned and operated for more than fifty years, Pilkerton is home to 180 real estate agents whose 2021 production totaled more than $900 million in sales volume. The Pilkerton brand will remain intact, and the company’s managing brokers and staff will continue serving in their current roles supporting its agents and clients throughout Middle Tennessee.

“We’re joining Village and Parks to collaborate and share resources, tools and locations,” said Jim Terrell, continuing as Pilkerton Managing Partner. “Partnering with a local group who I’ve known for many years allows our vision for Pilkerton to continue.”

Parks and Village merged in January 2021, and both companies realized their strongest production years in history, reaching $5.4 billion in sales volume and completing 11,750 transactions. The new partnership will enable the local firm to further invest in best-in-class staff, tools, training, and processes to add value for clients and help agents thrive.

“We are thrilled to partner with Pilkerton to continue growing and serving agents who are focused on the Middle Tennessee market,” said Chief Executive Officer Hunter Connelly. “Pilkerton, Parks and Village share a culture and core values that are attractive to the best real estate agents in our community. We are excited to work together with Jim and his team to continue improving our services to our agents and their clients.”

Over the past three years, the company has grown substantially, as recently positioned in the Nashville Business Journal’s Fastest Growing Private Companies, and now ranks in the top 25 brokerages nationally. Earlier this month, Lakeside REALTORS® joined Parks to bolster its Hendersonville and Sumner County presence. Parks Lakeside was formerly a Coldwell Banker franchise with over 70 real estate agents and staff.
