Wallace Real Estate has formed a new real estate alliance model with Bender Realty to extend support and benefits to agents of the family-owned firm based in Cleveland, Tennessee.
“Bender Realty, Powered by Wallace” will bring additional resources such as marketing, training, technology, relocation and growth plans to Bender Realty, a trusted name in the Cleveland market.
“We are delighted to join forces with Bender Realty and are eager to create opportunities together in line with our shared values,” said Andrew McGranaghan, chief development officer for Wallace Real Estate. “Wallace has enjoyed tremendous growth thanks to the loyalty of our community and customers, and we welcome the opportunity to provide a model that does the same for other local real estate firms.”
Founded in Knoxville in 1936, Wallace Real Estate has experienced steady growth and in 2023 declared itself an independent firm. The new Powered by Wallace concept is designed to assist community-owned firms and help their growth trajectory.
The partnership allows Bender Realty agents to provide their buyers and sellers with the same tools, service and access that Wallace Real Estate offers to its customers.
Bender Realty has served Cleveland, Tennessee, and the surrounding areas of Bradley County and beyond since 1969. The firm credits its longevity to providing outstanding customer service through sales and property management for both residential and commercial sectors.
Both Wallace Real Estate and Bender Realty are members of the prestigious Leading Real Estate Companies of the World® network, a distinction limited to the top locally owned, independent companies. This membership underscores both brokerages’ commitment to excellence and their standing as trusted leaders in the real estate industry.
“This alliance represents a significant step forward in our mission to provide exceptional real estate services across East Tennessee,” said Claudia Stallings, chief operating officer for Wallace Real Estate. “Bender Realty’s strong local presence and respected reputation, combined with our comprehensive support systems, will enhance the capabilities of both companies, enabling us to deliver even greater value to our agents and clients. By continually seeking innovative partnerships and expanding our service area, we are positioning ourselves and our agents for a prosperous future.
“We highly value our company’s local reputation, so we are very selective in choosing partners,” said Brian Workman, co-owner and broker of Bender Realty. “Wallace Real Estate is the perfect choice to help take us into the future, with aligned core values and a shared goal to do right by our agents, our clients and our community.”
“We believe that embracing change and fostering collaboration is key to remaining a leader in the ever-evolving real estate industry.”
