Sherman and Hemstreet is pleased to announce the completion of a $970,000 transaction for their client Thomas Poteet and Son Funeral Home.  Matt Aitken of Sherman and Hemstreet represented Thomas Poteet and Son in the acquisition of 16.7 acres on the corner of William Few Parkway and Columbia Road. 

“Our plan is build a funeral home at some point in the future,” said Buzz Poteet, owner, Thomas Poteet and Son.  “We are currently located on Davis Road in Richmond County and felt strongly that we needed to make preparations for a second location in Columbia County.” Poteet also noted that Columbia County was an easy choice given the amount of expansion and growth it is seeing, “Securing the land and gaining S-1 commercial zoning were the first items to do in regard to the expansion and those are now complete thanks to Matt Aitken and the county.  We will see what the future may bring.”

The sale was a win for the seller of the property as well.  When asked about the transaction, Bobby Smith, lead pastor of Journey Community Church stated, “The sale of this property moves us one step closer to the expansion of our campus on Hardy McManus Road.”
