Our History

Associated Realty was originally founded in 1969 by Lilli Ragsdill, then owned by Mamie and Bob Coldwater.  Mamie Coldwater, the Principal Broker, had been with the company since 1975. Bob Coldwater joined the firm when he retired from the US Air Force in 1978.  Mamie supervised property management of approximately 150 single family rental homes.  Bob managed home sales. The Coldwaters retired in April of 2008, and Associated Realty welcomes its new owner Dottie Bartel.
