A Century of Real Estate Excellence

Coldwell Banker was founded in 1906 in San Francisco, just weeks after the great earthquake. That origin story says a lot about the company's resilience. For more than a century, Coldwell Banker has survived and thrived through every market cycle, and today it stands as one of the most recognizable real estate brands on the planet.

The company is now part of Realogy Holdings, the largest residential real estate services company in the United States. This gives Coldwell Banker agents access to resources and technology that smaller brokerages simply cannot match. And because Realogy also owns Century 21 and Sotheby's International Realty, Coldwell Banker agents can tap into an even broader network when helping clients buy or sell.

How Coldwell Banker Compares to Other Top Brokerages

Every major brokerage has strengths. Keller Williams is known for its agent-focused culture and training. RE/MAX is recognized globally for its agent brand. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices carries the cachet of the Berkshire name. But Coldwell Banker combines deep history with modern resources in a way that is hard to replicate.
