THE CBC STORY
What began as one man’s desire to provide honorable and professional real estate services to clients still holds true today.
Colbert Coldwell’s dedication to his clients formed the basis for the organization’s unique success story — one that will stand out in the history books and inspire future entrepreneurs to create their own success stories. The devastating San Francisco earthquake of 1906 presented young real estate agent Colbert Coldwell with a chance to provide people with honest, ethical, and professional real estate services. In those difficult post-earthquake times, real estate companies typically acted as buyers and resellers of property, compromising the ability of a buyer or seller to obtain the best price. But Coldwell’s “Brokers Only” rule — and commission-based fee structure — eliminated this conflict of interest by removing the incentive to mislead either party about the value of a property under transaction.
In 1913, a man who shared Coldwell’s values and business acumen joined the firm as a salesman. The next year, Benjamin Arthur Banker was named a partner. Despite growing pains over the next several decades, their business and ethical philosophy never wavered and their approach to the business became a model for the entire real estate industry.
After establishing itself as one of the preeminent companies in the commercial real estate business, the company opened its first residential real estate office in San Francisco in 1925. Over the next 50 years, the Coldwell Banker® organization expanded rapidly.
The Coldwell Banker® brand became a part of the Sears, Roebuck and Co. family in 1981, which also included such companies as Dean Witter Financial Services Group and Allstate Insurance Group. The alliance of such diverse companies provided the resources and impetus for further expansion, product development and services in both the commercial and residential real estate industries. Thus, the brand established a presence in the retail environment with the Sears Financial Network Centers.
By 1991, the Coldwell Banker® system of independently owned and operated offices had locations in all 50 states practicing both residential and commercial real estate. In the early 1990s, the Coldwell Banker system expanded internationally, and opened offices in Canada and Puerto Rico.
In 1996, Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation, formerly Coldwell Banker Residential Affiliates, Inc., was acquired by Hospitality Franchise System, Inc. (HFS). When HFS became Cendant Corporation, Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation became part of the world’s largest hotel and real estate brokerage franchisor, giving the company access to solid financial resources and an even stronger brand affiliation.
By the end of 1996, Coldwell Banker Commercial® was once again a strong force in the industry, with hundreds of companies worldwide practicing commercial real estate under the Coldwell Banker Commercial flag throughout North America, Central America, South America, Europe, the Middle East, Australia and Asia.
Since the brand re-entered the commercial real estate industry, affiliates have achieved impressive growth by embracing the benefit of strong brand recognition and the value afforded by global resources.
Today, CBC® professionals offer an array of commercial real estate services that Colbert Coldwell and Benjamin Banker never could have imagined. At the core of this offering are the values upon which CBC was founded, coupled with a drive to provide the best service possible to clients. That’s the Coldwell Banker Commercial commitment.

“Since 2001, I have been affiliated with Coldwell Banker Commercial. The CBC brand has enabled us to compete on a national level. We have been able to acquire some very significant assignments as a result of the Coldwell Banker Commercial platform being available to our company. The integrity of CBC is second to none. As a franchisee and a national top producer, it gives me great comfort to know that the leadership at Coldwell Banker Commercial is comprised of the industry’s top real estate professionals who truly understand the business. I have always felt that the corporate philosophy of CBC has been to first and foremost make sure that the sales affiliates, as well as franchisees are achieving success.”
“Thanks t “Thanks to the Coldwell Banker Commercial brand and its broad network of professionals, we have had the ability to maintain our market significance in the Pacific Northwest for over 25 years. The brand has also proved itself by our continued success with recruiting both new and seasoned Brokers to our Company. Recruiting has been greatly enhanced through the new EBT training sponsored by Coldwell Banker Commercial. Not only has it provided our new Brokers with the necessary training to become successful in their careers, it has opened up a network of contacts throughout the nation. We are pleased to be a part of the Coldwell Banker Commercial family of offices and look forward to sharing successes for years to come.”
“After 20 years at CBRE, we came to the decision that we were interested in building a firm of our own where we could create long term value for our families as well as our staff. We spent a year researching alternatives and determined that Coldwell Banker Commercial offered us the best system available. We were able to smoothly transition our clients and business into CBC using the best systems and technology available anywhere. CBC provided on-site training so our staff was able to begin using the resources of the brand right away and after 5 years we have grown from the three founders to a staff of 26 in our offices in Glendale, California. We utilized the CBC name and the top notch training and education programs for our recruits and were able to maintain - even enhance our reputation as the experts in our market.”
