The story of Coldwell Banker is a story of leadership and success. From its beginnings in San Francisco in 1906, Coldwell Banker has grown to become one of the premier residential real estate organizations in the world.

After the devastating earthquake and fire in San Francisco in 1906, young real estate agent Colbert Coldwell saw a need for honest, knowledgeable and professional real estate services to help the city rebuild. Coldwell disapproved of the common practice of that day where real estate agents acquired properties for themselves, often from uninformed sellers at ridiculously low rates, and then resold them for huge profits.

In 1913, Benjamin Arthur Banker joined the firm as a salesman, and he and Colbert Coldwell quickly discovered they held similar views and ethics. Banker became a partner in 1914, and the two remained active in the company throughout their lives.

Today, the Coldwell Banker brand has a global reach, with approximately 100,000 sales associates in approximately 3,300 offices in 49 countries and territories.
