The Tennessee realty agency's specialty is buying and selling homes as well as property management, a similar mix of services offered by Prudential PenFed Realty.

"Having run Prudential Professional Realty since 1994, I find it exciting to see it become part of a larger company with a solid reputation for providing top realty and financial services across the country," said Bobby Powers, broker and owner of the Tennessee agency. "The combined resources will really help homebuyers get the most bang for their buck."

Power has spent his entire life in the Fort Campbell area and has extensive contacts with business leaders and the post's military and civilian leaders.

James Schenck, president of the PenFed Group, commented that Prudential PenFed Realty is very proud to have the leadership of Bobby Powers now part of the PenFed family.  "We pride ourselves on hiring the best that put the customer first in handling their real estate needs and look forward to growing to become the number one firm in the Clarksville community."

The acquired agency has approximately 60 agents with unit sales of 950 and had $155 million in sales volume in 2011. The company was in the top tier in overall market share for the greater Clarksville community. In addition, the agency currently manages over 500 rental units under its property management division.

"Prudential PenFed Realty continues to grow, both in the greater Washington area and other parts of the country," said Vohra. "This acquisition will give us more agents and more resources to help homebuyers find their dream home with the company they've come to trust."
