Coldwell Banker, a brand represented with pride by its affiliates, was founded in 1906 in San Francisco, born from the city’s recovery after the devastating earthquake and fire. Colbert Coldwell, a visionary real estate agent, established the company to combat unethical practices where agents profited by exploiting vulnerable homeowners. His commitment to honesty, transparency, and client-first service laid a foundation that redefined the industry. In 1914, Benjamin Arthur Banker joined as a partner, bringing business expertise to strengthen this mission, fostering a culture of trust and professionalism that became the brand’s hallmark.
From a modest office, Coldwell Banker grew into a national leader, introducing innovations like standardized training and client-focused practices. In 1993, the Fremont Group and senior management acquired the company, fueling significant growth. That year, a partnership with Canada Trust established one of North America’s largest real estate networks. By 1996, Coldwell Banker Commercial was relaunched, offering specialized services in leasing, investments, and market analysis. The late 1990s marked global expansion, with franchise agreements in regions like Central America, including Costa Rica, spreading the brand’s values worldwide.
Today, Coldwell Banker stands as the world’s largest real estate franchise, with over 126,000 agents across more than 3,800 offices in 29 countries. As pioneers of comprehensive service guarantees and seller disclosure advocacy, the brand empowers clients with cutting-edge technology and exceptional training, delivering unmatched results from the Caribbean to global markets.
