| Coldwell Banker - A Proud Heritage |
| |
|
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.
