History of Redd, Brown & Williams Real Estate Services

Proudly Serving the Area Since 1950!

  • 1950

    Ed Redd and Coke Williams began Redd, Brown & Williams

    Ed Redd and Coke Williams began our company in 1950 when they merged their separate insurance and real estate agencies to form the Redd & Williams Insurance & Real Estate Agency. The company operated out of a small office on Main Street in Paintsville, KY and became a successful local business.

  • 1964

    In Honor of Paul D. Brown, Sr. 

    In 1964, Paul D. Brown, Sr. joined Redd & Williams as a commissioned agent working to provide for his wife and four children. Mr. Brown, a graduate of Paintsville High School, received a basketball scholarship to Transylvania University, Lexington, KY which he attended for a year. Mr. Brown, not having a car hitchhiked to Lexington for school and worked full time in an attempt to stay in college.

    Even with Transylvania’s assistance, Mr. Brown could not afford to stay in school and found himself working weekdays in a Detroit auto plant. He later returned to Paintsville as an Insurance and Real Estate agent. Paul put in long hours and often worked seven days a week to learn and grow the business. In the late 1960's, Mr. Williams retired from the company and Paul purchased a portion of his ownership with Mrs. Williams retaining a portion as did Mr. Redd.

    As time passed, Paul purchased Mrs. Williams interest and eventually Mr. Redd's interest as well, when he retired. At that time, the company became Redd, Brown & Williams. Paul continued to work diligently to grow Redd, Brown & Williams.

  • 1979 and 1980

    In 1979 and 1980 respectively Mark Grim and Paul David Brown, Jr. became a part of the company upon their respective graduations from Eastern Kentucky University.

By this time Redd, Brown & Williams Insurance and Real Estate Agency had twelve staff members.

    As the business continued to expand, it became evident the Insurance Industry was changing significantly and in order to continue to provide the people of East Kentucky with the very best Insurance Services, Redd, Brown & Williams Insurance & Real Estate separated the Insurance and Real Estate divisions. The Insurance Division of the company merged with another successful local insurance company in 1997.

    Mark Grim stayed with the Insurance Services portion of the company, Paul David Brown was named CEO / Pres of the Real Estate Division of Redd, Brown & Williams Real Estate Services. In 2000, Paul David Brown moved Redd, Brown & Williams Real Estate Services to a newly renovated location at 201 Bridge Street in Paintsville.

    For several years, RBW had expanded its market share and had many clients and customers in the adjoining counties of Floyd, Pike, Magoffin, Martin, Lawrence and other East KY counties. Redd, Brown & Williams Real Estate Services, due to increased business growth, decided to open a branch office in Pikeville, KY. This location began in Coal Run Village and then moved into current location at 685 N. Mayo Trail in Pikeville.

    Redd, Brown & Williams Real Estate Services also opened branch offices at 110S Clay Street in Louisa, KY as well as 253 University Drive in Prestonsburg, KY. Redd, Brown & Williams is now the largest Real Estate Services Company in East Kentucky.
