Very few companies in any industry make it 100 years. But Coldwell Banker has beaten the odds.

We have such a sense of pride and accomplishment in turning 100 years oldor as I like to say, 100 years young, explains President and CEO Jim Gillespie. To be at the top of our game at this stage in our history is just tremendous.

One of the reasons I work for Coldwell Banker is that is always strives to offer the clients more than other brokerage firms offer. They are very much in tune with the trend in real estate to be internet driven, and are providing both their agents and the clients they work with the tools they need to maintain the competitive edge.

Coldwell Banker originated in San Francisco shortly after the great earthquake in 1906, but it has thrived and continues to grow. In recent years the company has added more than 70,000 sales agents and 1,500 offices to become an international powerhouse.

Even so, Coldwell Banker never loses sight of its original mission, to provide honest assistance to people in need of housing.  With special emphasis on agent training and technology, Coldwell Banker earns and maintains the trust of people everywhere.
