Hugh Armstrong Real Estate Company is changing its name to Hostetter-Schneider Realty Partners. Although it will remain part of the Hugh Armstrong-MB Hostetter group of companies, the new DBA name reflects the changes the Company has undergone in the last year. Ryan Schneider, Broker and previously sole owner of Hugh Armstrong Real Estate Company, partnered with Clay Hostetter in February of 2005 to become co-owners of Hugh Armstrong Real Estate Company and Hugh Armstrong Management Company. Hugh Armstrong Real Estate Company, now Hugh Armstrong Real Estate Company, now Hostetter-Schneider Realty Partners has been in continual existence since 1952. MB Hostetter Real Estate Company's origins date back to the 1940s.

Ryan Schneider and Clay Hostetter?s families have been a significant part of the Savannah real estate market for over three generations each. The new name of the Company reflects their desire to continue in the two families' traditions of integrity, competency and service in the Savannah real estate market. Schneider and Hostetter have the unique benefit of knowing the market both from an historical and current perspective. While the market is changing quickly, it is important to understand how it developed. To not only know, but have been part of, the people, families, companies and trends that have formed our current real estate market is important in order to contribute to the intelligent growth in the market in a way that benefits the long term good of the greater Savannah Community. To understand and care about our City's history is a vital part of a strong commitment to the future.
