Home Building to Home Selling- How it All Got Started!
Back in 1960, H.H “Pap” West and his two sons, W.V. and Rudy West started a family owned business. A building supply store, (West & Sons), and a construction company, (West Construction), were formed to handle the real estate needs in Columbus. Hundreds of homes were built by this family over the years. Their slogan, “If It’s West Built, It’s Best Built”, truly was the reputation of this family owned business.
As the business grew, the need to sell the existing homes of new customers that wanted a newly constructed home, became more apparent. In 1968, West Realty Company began the third family owned business. Agents were hired to market these existing and new homes. The building supply store was sold and the construction company, “West Brother’s Construction” is still in operation in commercial construction. In August of 1984, West Realty Company franchised with Coldwell Banker Real Estate. Don West, took over as the Principal Broker of Coldwell Banker West Realty. Later, he became President of West Realty Company.
Coldwell Banker West Realty, after 41 years with the Coldwell Banker franchise, sold to Frady & Associates, LLC. Kelly Frady, who has been with the company, is now the Broker/Owner under the new franchise name of Coldwell Banker Frady & Associates. Kelly Frady has developed a premier real estate team that will create a heritage for years to come. I will continue to be part of Coldwell Banker Frady & Associates as a Broker salesperson. The nickname “Pap” will continue on for many years to come as his nickname for his grandchildren is just that!
