Industry veteran joins Partners from Hailey Realty Company

Atlanta, GA – July 15, 2026 – Partners Real Estate—a private partnership-led fully-integrated commercial real estate firm—today announced that industry veteran Brad Pope has joined the firm’s Atlanta office as Equity Partner. A seasoned commercial real estate sales professional with a highly successful track record in industrial brokerage, Mr. Pope further strengthens Partners’ Atlanta team. He joins the company from Hailey Realty Company.

“Brad’s deep expertise in the industrial sector advising tenants, owners and investors will be a great addition to our firm,” said John O’Neill, President and Managing Partner of the firm’s Southeast region. “Attracting a professional of his caliber and experience is another testament to the power of Partners’ platform—the most unique in the industry, with a three-pillar platform of Services, Investment and Development that’s wrapped in an equity partnership; the structure drives collaboration, reduces silos and puts the client at the center of everything they do.”

Mr. Pope arrives at Partners following a distinguished career in commercial real estate since starting at Carter & Associates, and most recently serving for the past 25 years as Senior Vice President at Hailey Realty Company. He is a Lifetime Member of the Atlanta Commercial Board of Realtors Million Dollar Club and recipient of the Phoenix Award and he has personally negotiated sales and leases totaling over 30 million sq. ft.

Among his recent work, Mr. Pope has represented Marco Awards Group with over 550,000 sq. ft. of warehouse purchases and sales in Lawrenceville, GA; CRUSA Holdings, LLC in 750,000 sq. ft. of lease transactions in Norcross and Duluth, GA; and Graphic Development Group with 400,000 sq. ft. in lease and sales transaction in Chamblee and Doraville, GA.

The hiring of Mr. Pope reflects Partners’ continued investment in Atlanta, where the firm has expanded to 72 commercial real estate professionals. That growth includes acquiring Crown Tenant Advisors to launch Partners’ Healthcare Services platform; and appointing seasoned leaders to spearhead the firm’s new Federal Leasing and Healthcare Real Estate Investment practices.

“I am very excited to be joining such a dynamic and first-class company in Partners, and I am truly honored to have such a great opportunity,” said Mr. Pope. “All the support and resources Partners provides will be invaluable to both my clients and my business.”
