The Coldwell Banker Way of Innovating
Blue is the color of winning, and the Coldwell Banker brand has been ranking up “firsts” for over 112 years.
Blue. It’s the color of first place and the color of winners. Win the race, you get a blue ribbon. At Coldwell Banker, we’ve created a blue ribbon culture of sorts as we’re always looking for ways to win on behalf of our agents and their customers.
Today, we often think of innovation as having to do with technology, but that’s not always the case. As an innovator in real estate for 112+ years you’ll see we’ve been a trailblazer in tech but also in finding new ways to do things.
It all started when our founder, Colbert Coldwell, decided to guarantee his services in writing, create a code of ethics for his agents and become the first brand to implement seller disclosure. That spirit of innovation has been part of our brand since 1906 and paved the way for many other “firsts” for a national real estate brand including first to…
