Congratulations to Laura Rittenberg, who serves as president of Coldwell Banker Realty in Atlanta and Coldwell Banker Realty in the Carolinas! She has been named to HousingWire’s 2021 Women of Influence list and joins other dominant real estate leaders from across the United States as part of this annual list of honorees.
Laura was recognized for her leadership overseeing the sales operation of a combined 29 sales offices and nearly 2,600 affiliated agents in Atlanta and the Carolinas. She joined the Coldwell Banker executive team in 2000 when she sold her Denver-based company to Coldwell Banker. After spending years in various markets throughout the country, she took the helm of Coldwell Banker Realty in Atlanta in 2017 and her role was expanded to include oversight of the company’s operations in North and South Carolina in 2019.
In response to the challenges that the real estate industry faced in 2020, Laura helped implement the shift to virtual learning, marketing and conducting business utilizing technology to show homes, work with clients, secure listings and manage transactions. She firmly believes that it is essential for agents to be equipped with the skills and resources to organically generate listing leads to manage their business and generate consistent income. Her goal for each agent is for them to live an exceptional life and she’s personally involved in her companies on every level, regularly conducting workshops and overseeing business planning sessions with the agents and leadership.
