COMPANY HISTORY
President of Bellator Real Estate & Development, Nathan Cox, and owner of ERA Platinum Properties, Troy Wilison, came together in 2010 and began doing transactions together. After working side by side they began to realize that they could utilize each other’s abilities and that their “strengths complement each other,” as stated by Wilson. In 2011, they merged under the Bellator name, with Wilson running the day-to-day business operations and Cox working on the investment side of things. Around 96 agents, who handle residential sales, commercial sales, and rentals, now work in the six office locations, a large expansion from the original 23 agents in 2011. As a team, Cox and Wilson believe they have the resources, product, agents, and the ability to receive financing, all which have played a major role in their success
