Kennon, Parker, Duncan & Key Realtors

Coldwell Banker/Kennon, Parker, Duncan & Key Realtors is the largest real estate company in the State of Georgia, outside of the Atlanta area. Our success rests on time-tested values of honesty, commitment to excellence, service to our customers and ability to attract and train quality Realtors who are serious about their real estate careers.

Our roots go back to 1964 when Dan Parker Sr. opened a company bearing his name on Warm Springs Road. His son, Dan Parker Jr., joined the company in 1966 after his graduation from the University of Georgia with degrees in journalism and real estate.

Together father and son grew the company until Dan's father died an untimely death in 1970 at only 56 years old.

Under young Dan's leadership, the company quickly became a market leader in the area, continuing to attract and train top talent. The company has always been on the cutting edge of new developments and trends in the real estate industry.

In 1987, Dan concluded negotiations with longtime friend (and former real estate client) Kelsey Kennon, who had gone into real estate after a career in banking. Kennon Realty Services and Dan Parker Realtors officially opened as Kennon & Parker Realtors on July 1st of 1987.

They both sold their previous offices and purchased the former Georgia Company at building at 5670 Whitesville Road, a 15,000 square foot building that serves even now as the company's headquarters.

The merger of the two companies immediately propelled Kennon & Parker into the Number One market position. Over two decades later, KPDK continues to be the distant market leader in the Columbus and Phenix City area.

In 1996, Doug Duncan and Jack Key III, both 17 years younger than Dan and Kelsey, merged their company, Duncan & Key Realtors, to form Kennon, Parker, Duncan & Key Realtors. Doug and Jack grew up together, were college roommates at Auburn University and both are long-time friends of Dan and Kelsey.

Shortly after the merger, the partners purchased the rights to the area's Coldwell Banker Real Estate Franchise. Coldwell Banker is the premier real estate franchise in America with a history dating back more than 100 years.
