NRT New England has acquired the assets of Goodfellow Real Estate, a full-service commercial real estate brokerage company based in Danbury. NRT New England operates under the brand names of Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT and Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage in Connecticut.

The 12 agents formerly affiliated with Goodfellow Real Estate will now conduct business under the banner of Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT from the former Goodfellow office located at 7 Old Sherman Turnpike in Danbury. This office of Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT will serve commercial real estate clients in the Connecticut and New York real estate markets.

Founded as Goodfellow Ashmore Agency Inc. in 1934 by Robert Goodfellow and Harry Ashmore, it is the largest and oldest commercial real estate brokerage firm in Western Connecticut. The firm has historically offered commercial real estate brokerage, asset and property management, development and investment services.

Todd Payne, Connecticut member of the Society of Industrial and Office Realtors and former president and CEO of Goodfellow Real Estate, will affiliate with Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT in a sales capacity. Payne is the grandson of Goodfellow Real Estate founder Robert Goodfellow.

“The acquisition of Goodfellow Real Estate greatly enhances our ability to provide high-level service to commercial real estate clients in Connecticut and New York,” Dee Maret, national co-director of Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT, said in a statement. “Todd has built a first-class team of commercial real estate agents, one of the best in the industry. I am thrilled to welcome them as the newest addition to Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT.”
