Weaver Street Realty has added three new owners to its ownership group.

Brokers Clayton Nell, Crystal Fisher and Terri Turner join Gary Phillips, Louise Barnum and Jay Parker as the owners and operators of the firm that has been open since 1982.

“We’re very excited to be welcoming Crystal, Clayton and Terri into the Weaver Street family,” said Phillips, who is the original founder of the business. “They’re people of great integrity, diverse skills and open minds, which is a great combination.”

Barnum became an owner and partner shortly thereafter.

“Our three additional partners will fit right into our ‘anything but cookie cutter’ approach to real estate,” Barnum said. “Amongst a host of very fine skills, Clayton brings a quiet depth to his listening, Crystal an infectious laugh that can carry a room, and Terri a yearning for knowledge. All will carry Weaver Street forward in stride.”

Owner Jay Parker added, “Gary, Louise and I have had a great time, lo these many years, serving our clients and communities. It’s been a great partnership. Now that our teeth our lengthening, having Crystal, Terri and Clayton join us heightens our energy, enthusiasm and connection. I couldn’t hope for a better group to carry Weaver Street into the next generation.”

Nell, Fisher and Turner had been agents at Weaver Street Realty.
