Coldwell Banker
began in 1906,
Colbert Coldwell, a young real estate
agent, observed families trying to piece their lives
together following the San Francisco earthquake.
Disapproving of agents who acquired property from
vulnerable sellers and resold it at huge profits,
and seeing a tremendous need for honest,
knowledgeable real estate people, Colbert Coldwell
founded his company with a revolutionary philosophy:
the customer's best interest above all. In 1914,
Benjamin Arthur Banker joined Colbert Coldwell as a
full partner. Together, Coldwell and Banker forged a
tradition of integrity, exceptional service and
customer satisfaction that became the company's
hallmark.
For 100 years, the Coldwell Banker organization has
been a premier provider of full-service real estate.
