will share space in the building at 122 South 13th St. in Griffin, with

Coldwell Banker Bullard in Suite A and Treadway Building in Suite B. The

telephone number for both companies will be 770-227-2280.

Steve Bullard,

owner and president of Coldwell Banker Bullard, said the goal is for the

office to grow to 15 agents by a year from now.

"We've

been interested in coming to Griffin and Spalding County for several years,"

said Bullard. "We're excited about the opportunity to be more active

here and to offer our company's services to the homebuyers and homesellers

in this area."

The managing

broker of Coldwell Banker Bullard's Clayton County office in Jonesboro,

Theda Bunker, will also serve as broker for the Griffin/Spalding County

office. She will be joined initially by Jenifer Strauss and Kelley O'Kelley,

who have been the sales associates for Treadway Realty.

Theda Bunker

came to Georgia in 1992 with her husband Earl who was with NSA at Ft.

McPherson. She joined the Bullard organization in 1993 and has been managing

broker for the Clayton County office since 1997. Mrs. Bunker started in

real estate in 1984 while in Maryland and managed a family-owned company

in Baltimore.
