I'm not seeing why this shouldn't be working, though it's not one of Laravels magic functions, so you have to add () or use getCompanyAttribute() – but that I would definitely not do that.

$reseller->company();
public function company()
{
    return $this->distributor->company;
}

A tip: Since you talk about "shortcuts", you can also write

return $this->belongsTo(Distributor::class); 

:-)

Thanks for your reply,

It worked with the following! This was needed so that I return a proper eloquent class and not just ab object. Please note how the last ->company() has the () while distributor does not.

public function company() {
    return $this->distributor->company();
}

Thanks. Yes it can sometimes be confusing to remember parentheses or not.
