company profile

The Gibson Company, a commercial real estate, management, and brokerage firm was founded in 1991 by Billy V. Smith, a veteran of 25 years in the Lexington real estate market, and Douglas Gibson who began his real estate career in 1964.  These partners had previously joined forces when they ventured out for a few years before collaborating again over a decade ago to give service to the industry they so greatly revered.

Having worked for many of the same clients for several years, they felt their combined strengths would be more valuable as business partners.  Their professional experience includes both having been selected as Lexington's Realtor of the Year, with Doug Gibson also receiving Kentucky Realtor of the Year honors.  Mr. Gibson served a term as President of the Kentucky Association of Realtors and Lexington Bluegrass Association of Realtors (LBAR).  They currently both hold responsible leadership positions in the LBAR.

The business model for The Gibson Company shows that approximately 30% of its revenue comes from third party real estate management including office buildings, shopping centers and warehousing.  The other 70% is generated by brokerage representing both buyers and sellers.  In conclusion, the 34-year history of The Gibson Company suggests a full knowledge of the Lexington, Kentucky, real estate market represented by skilled brokers with continued professional growth for years to come.
