In the Beginning After returning to South Bend following military and government service, George Cressy and Edward Everett Jr. met while employed with a local contractor selling small bungalows on the west side of South Bend. Eventually, the two co-workers decided to form a partnership and, in 1946 Cressy & Everett Realtors was born. Cressy & Everett Realtors first office was located in the basement of the Rushton Apartment Building at the corner of William and Jefferson streets in South Bend, Indiana. As the business grew, Cressy & Everett Realtors made the move to a building at the corner of Belmont and Eddy streets, adding the area's first drive-through office. In 1965, Cressy & Everett Realtors purchased an office building at the corner of Ironwood and McKinley streets in South Bend. In the mid 60's, George and Edward's two sons, Donald G. Cressy and Edward Everett, Jr. joined the company. The partnership was incorporated in 1970. In 1978, Cressy & Everett Realtors became a franchise of Better Homes & Gardens® Real Estate Service. GMAC Real Estate Service purchased Better Homes & Gardens® Real Estate Service in 1998 and Cressy & Everett Better Homes & Gardens® Real Estate Service became a GMAC franchise in May of 2000. In June of 2005 we became Cressy & Everett Real Estate, the local area's largest independent company.
