Zeeb Commercial Real Estate and Pearson Companies have announced a merger, bringing together two established real estate firms in Central California. The merger aims to combine the expertise and resources of both companies to strengthen their presence in the region’s commercial real estate market.
Zeeb Commercial Real Estate, founded in 1986, is known for its work in the sale and leasing of industrial, retail, office, and investment properties. Its team operates mainly in Kings and Tulare Counties. Pearson Companies, established in 1919, consists of three businesses: Pearson Realty, Newmark Pearson Commercial, and Retail California. The company is recognized for its role in agricultural as well as commercial real estate throughout Central California.
Marty Zeeb, founder of Zeeb Commercial Real Estate, said: “Peter Orlando initiated the conversation, and I was excited about this idea of merging. As I begin to refocus more on real estate and less on the business operations, this merger presents a unique opportunity to enhance our service capabilities.”
Peter Orlando, CEO of Pearson Companies, commented: “Integrating Zeeb Commercial Real Estate into Pearson Companies aligns with our vision to strengthen our market presence and expand our service offerings across Central California. This merger allows us to delve deeper into the South Valley market, where Zeeb’s strong presence will be invaluable.”
The combined firm plans to offer clients expanded access to resources and opportunities. Marty Zeeb noted: “Zeeb’s expertise in industrial, retail, and office investments, combined with Pearson’s extensive network, will offer our clients unparalleled access to a broader range of resources and opportunities.”
Both organizations expressed optimism about future collaboration. Marty Zeeb stated: “This merger will make both companies stronger, particularly in the Tulare and Kings County areas. The synergy between our teams will benefit not just our clients but also enhance our effectiveness in working on various projects.” Peter Orlando added: “The merger paves the way for a exciting future in which our combined experience and resources will drive growth and innovation in the real estate industry. We are looking forward to continuing to provide outstanding value to our clients and stakeholders.”
Pearson Companies has operated for over 100 years with offices across Bakersfield, Visalia, and Fresno through its subsidiaries. The group covers agricultural land transactions as well as office space sales and leasing through its affiliated entities.
