Through her deep industry knowledge, clever creativity and bold leadership, Boyles successfully supports a network of over 100,000 affiliated agents in more than 2,700 offices across 39 countries and territories.

Thanks to Boyles’ strength as a strategic leader and innovator, she has consolidated the brand’s efforts in multiple areas of operations, driving growth and results and supporting the Coldwell Banker brand’s legacy as a global industry leader in real estate.

Since joining Coldwell Banker in 2003, Boyles continues to be a driving force behind the success of many of the brand’s major initiatives – including PR and marketing campaigns, fundraising initiatives and a global branding overhaul to unify the network of affiliates.

Under Boyles’ leadership, Coldwell Banker has been recognized by multiple industry leaders for its outstanding public relations efforts in real estate. In October 2022 the company was awarded the MarCom Platinum Award in the “Strategic Communications” category and in June 2022 received the American Business Award’s Gold Stevie for “Corporate Communications Campaign of the Year.”

Throughout her nearly 20-year tenure with Coldwell Banker, Boyles has been committed to uplifting the brand, its network and the people and communities they serve. She co-founded the Coldwell Banker Spirit of Home Awards, which has raised nearly $2M for housing related causes in New England since its inception. Alongside fellow Coldwell Banker female leadership, Boyles helped to launch the Coldwell Banker chapter of What Moves Her, a program which helps women in the real estate industry develop their leadership skills and realize their professional development goals. Since its inception, the chapter has expanded to six local markets with 150 ambassadors across the country.
