Blanchard and Calhoun Real Estate Company

What Blanchard and Calhoun Real Estate Company does

Blanchard and Calhoun Real Estate Company is a family-owned, full-service real estate brokerage founded in 1919 in Augusta, Georgia, and operating under private ownership for over 105 years. The firm serves residential buyers and sellers, commercial tenants and investors, rental property owners, corporate relocation clients, and a "Heroes" segment of military, first-responder, medical, and education professionals in the Central Savannah River Area (CSRA) spanning Georgia and South Carolina. Its offerings cover residential and commercial brokerage, property management and rentals, affiliated home insurance, mortgage assistance via Augusta Mortgage Company, corporate relocation through a Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (LeadingRE) partnership, and real estate licensing education through its in-house Real Estate Institute. Distribution runs through five physical offices in Augusta, Evans, Aiken, Waynesboro, and Lincolnton, supported by a 100+ agent network and a digital platform that surfaces 14,673+ listings.

The technology stack is third-party and SaaS-native rather than proprietary: the public website and agent productivity tools run on TRIBUS, property management and tenant/owner portals run on AppFolio, branded iOS and Android apps are powered by Homespotter, and commercial listings are surfaced via CREXI integration. No proprietary algorithms, AI models, or data products are disclosed. The firm maintains active content and social channels (322+ blog posts, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, X, YouTube) and a separate Real Estate Institute delivering pre-license and continuing education.

Revenue is generated through five streams: residential real estate commissions (transaction-fee on completed home sales), commercial real estate commissions (sales, leasing, asset management), recurring property management fees (tenant placement, rent collection, maintenance, financial reporting), professional services fees from affiliated insurance, and professional services revenue from mortgage partnership. Agents are paid on a 100% commission basis as 1099 contractors, with property management billed monthly. The firm is privately held within the Blanchard family, is not venture-backed, and does not disclose financials.

Direct peers

• RE/MAX Augusta: Global franchise brokerage with significant presence in the Augusta market, offering residential and commercial real estate services. Direct competitor for agents and consumer mindshare.
• Meybohm Real Estate: Meybohm is the largest and most direct competitor to Blanchard and Calhoun in the Augusta/CSRA region, also family-owned and offering residential, commercial, property management, and relocation services with multiple offices across GA and SC. Most comparable peer by market, ownership profile, and service mix.
• Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Beazley Realtors: Major regional brokerage in the Augusta CSRA market under the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices franchise, offering residential and commercial services. Competes head-to-head for agents and listings in the same geography.
• Howard Hanna Real Estate Services: Family-owned full-service residential and commercial brokerage in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, comparable in scale, family ownership heritage, and integrated services (mortgage, title, insurance, property management).
• Keller Williams Realty Augusta Partners: Large national franchise brokerage with Augusta-area market centers recruiting agents on high-commission models. Direct competitor in CSRA for both listings and agent talent.

Emerging players

• eXp Realty: Cloud-based brokerage with aggressive commission splits and a national agent-recruitment model. Competes in Augusta primarily for agent talent via revenue-sharing and equity opportunities, threatening the 100% commission model used by Blanchard and Calhoun.
• Compass: Tech-forward national brokerage with an Augusta-area presence, competing on agent technology, commission structure, and digital consumer experience. Represents a different model (tech-enabled, platform-driven) versus the traditional relationship model.

Broad incumbents

• Coldwell Banker Realty: Major national brokerage franchise with a long history and broad service offering (residential, commercial, luxury, relocation). Competes in the Augusta region but operates at much larger national scale.
• Century 21 Real Estate LLC: Global franchise brokerage with Augusta-area affiliates. Overlaps on residential brokerage and agent recruitment but at a national-brand scale rather than a regional specialist.

Others

• Leading Real Estate Companies of the World (LeadingRE): Global network of independent real estate companies of which Blanchard and Calhoun is a Diamond Award-winning member. Relevant as a partner/network rather than a competitor, but the network's roster includes many direct peers at other U.S. markets.
