The Coldwell Banker Heritage
Benjamin Banker
Colbert Coldwell
Coldwell Banker draws upon more than 100 years of leadership and success, success that is built upon a commitment
to honesty, professionalism and exceptional customer service.
In 1906, following the devastating San Francisco earthquake, young real estate associate Colbert Coldwell understood
the importance of neighbors helping neighbors. The devastated city needed honest, knowledgeable and professional
real estate services to help them rebuild. Coldwell launched a company dedicated to placing the customer’s interest
above all else – a principle that revolutionized the burgeoning real estate industry and began a proud company
tradition.
In 1913, Benjamin Arthur Banker joined Coldwell’s firm. Banker soon became a partner and the two built a company
based upon uncompromising ethics and exceptional customer service.
One hundred years later, Coldwell Banker continues this tradition as one of the most well-known and respected real
estate companies in the world.
A Tradition of Local Community Support
The Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Cares Foundation builds upon a history of supporting local communities
through a wide variety of philanthropic and volunteering activities. The Cares Foundation is guided by local Coldwell Banker
agents and employees and it is with pride that we disperse 100% of all funds raised to selected Mid-Atlantic partners.

arose, and our strategy evolved with it. As a company, we have decided to seize the best opportunities so we may

• 24% of buyers found the home they purchased through the Internet 1
• 15% of buyers found the home they purchased through yard signs 1
• 5% of buyers found the home they purchased through print newspaper ads 1
• Buyers obtain other valuable research online including school and neighborhood statistics1

E-Marketing Advantage
To capture the online buyer, we’re generating broad exposure for your property with unprecedented spending at America’s
leading Internet real estate sites and portals.
Our online marketing strategy continues to change and evolve with the ever-changing online real estate space. Just a few
years ago, sites like Trulia, Zillow, and FrontDoor didn’t exist, Google™ wasn’t displaying real estate listings, and Yahoo!®
Real Estate had a decidedly different flavor. As the online Real Estate space evolved and home seekers began to integrate
online searching into their home buying experience, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage has continued to keep pace with
real estate buying habits.

demand; multiple photos, maps, descriptions and school and community information.
