Prudential California Realty, the fast-growing Northern California real estate brokerage, announced today the acquisition of Coldwell Banker Amaral & Associates. The merger between the two real estate companies brings the total number of Prudential California Realty offices in Northern California to 18, and merges two strong market leaders in East Contra Costa County.

Led by broker/owner Aaron Meadows, the brokerage will now do business as Prudential California Realty and continue to serve East Contra Costa County out of locations in Brentwood, Discovery Bay and Oakley. This is the 12th acquisition Prudential California Realty has made in the past 24 months.

“We’ve been strategically expanding for the past two years, and the addition of these productive offices strengthens our existing and thriving presence in East County,” said Gretchen Pearson, President of Prudential California Realty Pearson Properties. “Aaron has led an exceptional team with many market specialties, and his leadership over the years has made Amaral & Associates a power brokerage in the area.”

Coldwell Banker Amaral & Associates has been in Contra Costa County since 1987. They currently have 25 agents located within their three office locations.

“Prudential California Realty is a strong and trusted real estate brand throughout the state,” said Meadows. “In addition, their values match ours, and we think having access to their expansive network and resources will prove mutually beneficial to agents, buyers and sellers.”
