Coldwell Banker Realty

Description

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. In the earthquake’s aftermath, Coldwell disapproved of sales associates who acquired properties from vulnerable sellers and greedily resold each property at a huge profit. Seeing a need for honest, empowering, and knowledgeable real estate professionals, Coldwell formed his own company, titled “Tucker, Lynch & Coldwell.” In 1913, as the company grew, Coldwell invited salesman, Benjamin Arthur Banker, to accompany him on his mission. Eventually welcoming Banker as his partner, Coldwell’s company evolved into Coldwell Banker®, being based on the principles of honesty, integrity and service. Coldwell Banker is part of Realogy Holdings Corp. who is recognized for eleven consecutive years as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere.
