Winner of the J.D Powers award for highest customer satisfaction for home sellers of any real estate company, Coldwell Banker has been connecting home buyers and sellers for over a century.
Coldwell Banker was founded in 1906 when Colbert Coldwell, a young real estate Sales Associate, observed families trying to piece their lives together following the disastrous San Francisco earthquake.
Disapproving of Sales Associates who acquired property from vulnerable sellers and then resold it at huge profits, and seeing a need for honest, knowledgeable real estate professionals, he formed his own company.
The new company was based on a revolutionary philosophy: the client's best interest above all. In 1914, Benjamin Arthur Banker, another real estate professional, joined Colbert Coldwell as a full partner. Together, Coldwell and Banker forged a tradition of integrity, exceptional service and customer satisfaction that became the companys hallmark. The company was far ahead of its time in its focus on customer service.
As Coldwell Banker enters its second century in real estate, it offers clients a level of service and resources of which Mr. Coldwell and Mr. Banker would be proud.
