OUR LEGACY

History of Coldwell Banker Commercial

  • 1906

    Being pathfinders has been at our core since the 1906 earthquake
    in San Francisco, when Colbert Coldwell saw the need for a quality
    organization to rebuild the real estate market. He joined forces with
    Benjamin Banker to create a company based on honesty, integrity
    and excellent service and measured its success by the success of
    its clients.

  • 1925

    What began as a commercial real estate venture, Coldwell Banker expanded
    to offer residential services in 1925 and quickly became one of the most
    respected names in real estate.

  • 1968

    In 1968, the Coldwell Banker brand went public, providing even greater flexibility to become the best real estate company
    possible and increasing our commercial presence. The brand continued to expand, first across the United States and then
    around the world.

  • Today

    More than a century later, our mission is to outline a path for brokers who set up businesses across the globe and enable
    commercial real estate professionals to continue what Coldwell started. Today, the Coldwell Banker Commercial® network spans
    40 countries with 3,396 brokerage professionals across our network of independent franchises and company owned
    operations. This global presence matched with local power allows our professionals to guide clients and achieve outstanding
    outcomes for our customers.
