As 2009 draws to an end, many of us look back to review our successes and challenges that we faced over the year. And, as I look back, I am pleased by what Coldwell Banker has accomplished this year. While we have had many challenges, our accomplishments have made me proud. Here is a summary of our many achievements:
• Launched the new View magazine that reaches over 250,000 readers in Orange County and the Coachella Valley
• Launched the new OCViewOnline.com
• Launched the digital version of View magazine
• Launched our iPhone and Droid real estate search applications
• Finished a variety of agreements that have our listings fed to over 450 Web sites across the nation
• Launched the Coldwell Banker On Location YouTube Channel
• Ranked highest in customer satisfaction nationwide by J.D. Powers & Associates
• Opened a whole new concept office in Huntington Beach that represent the future of real estate
• Completely remodeled our office in Corona del Mar to match our concept office in Huntington Beach
• Maintained our status as a top real estate brokerage in Orange County and the top brokerage in a variety of cities
• Worked with lenders to establish a process to help streamline the often complicated short sale transaction
• Continued to contribute to charitable organizations such as Court Appointed Special Advocates, American Cancer Society and the Second Harvest Food Bank However, what I am most proud of is our associates and employees who have helped thousands of our neighbors buy or sell their homes this year. Without their contributions, none of our successes would have been possible. I look forward with eagerness as to what 2010 holds for our company and the real estate market.

What We are Thankful For
Saturday, December 19th, 2009In a season where everyone is wishing for something, we are thankful for 2009 and the
opportunities we received throughout the year. We are thankful for our great team
of agents, our hard working employees, wonderful clients and the trust they have in our
company to represent their listings. Also, we are thankful that Coldwell Banker does not
need to imagine or dream of building a successful company. Coldwell Banker has sold
trillions of dollars in real estate in the 100+ years we have been in business.
We have succeeded despite many severe economic challenges and we will continue to do
so in the future. Our company was designed to meet the challenges of difficult markets
that others are not fully prepared to meet. For this reason you can always rely on
Coldwell Banker to be there as it was in 1906 and will be in 2010. Although the business
has changed, the fundamentals have not. It is a people oriented business and we recognize
that asset, people, as our most important one. Each real estate agent, broker and employee
of our company is appreciated for their efforts. And it is evident by your selection of our
sales associates that we are proudly the best ranked company locally and nationally.
In the midst of economic uncertainty, we are very proud as a company both in
Orange County and Coachella Valley of what we accomplished in 2009. As we end
the year, we want to wish each reader, customer, client, landlord and tenant the most
prosperous New Year and the happiest of holidays. Thank you for reading our publication
and for your business in 2009.
On behalf of Coldwell Banker, Rick Jenkins and me, Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas,
Happy Kwanzaa and a Happy New Year!
