In the last few months, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage has managed to break records and top lists in nearly all real estate categories. Our parent company, NRT LLC, was recently ranked No. 1 on REALTOR® Magazine’s annual Top 100 Companies list, and the No. 1 residential real estate brokerage firm in the United States in RISMedia’s 22nd annual Power Broker Report. It was the 13th consecutive year in which NRT earned the top spot nationwide, which begs the question: “Why is Coldwell Banker always at the top?”

Reason 1: We are ahead of the technology curve. Coldwell Banker recently launched a new version of its Web site, www.coldwellbanker.com, becoming the first real estate brokerage firm to use a visually driven real estate search platform to help consumers find their dream home. The new version of the site also includes keyword search, the ability to search for similar properties and integrates video from On Location, Coldwell Banker’s YouTube channel. In addition, Coldwell Banker just released an update to its popular iPhone Application, which will include our own international listings from the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), new express contact functionality and more. Can you think of another real estate brokerage company that is embracing technology on this scale?

Reason 2: We offer the most unique marketing resources. Chances are, if you’re reading this column, then you know that the View Magazine is the largest comprehensive weekly resource for real estate agents and their clients in Southern California. We hear countless success stories of people finding or selling their dream home through the full-color View and we expect its popularity to grow as it expands the visibility of our clients’ most exceptional homes to a national and international audience.

Reason 3: We have the best sales associates around. This year, we are proud to congratulate six Coldwell Banker sales associates in Orange County and the Desert Region who were ranked nationally on The Wall Street Journal and Real Trends’ list of Top 400 Sales Professionals in Residential Real Estate: John McMonigle in Newport Beach Newport Center (Team Volume), Tim Smith in Newport Beach Fashion Island (Agent Volume), Teri Hardke in Newport Beach Newport Center (Agent Volume), Evan Corkett in Newport Beach Newport Center (Agent Volume), Steve High in Newport Beach Newport Center (Agent Volume) and Jesus Martinez in La Quinta (Agent Sides).

All of these reasons reflect Coldwell Banker’s 104-year legacy of professionalism, but also set the bar for a new Coldwell Banker that is wholly committed to moving with the digital revolution. At the end of the day, it’s our dedication to serving our clients in all areas – from online search to international marketing – that motivates us to move, change and open the doors to new real estate opportunities everyday. We are No. 1 because you are No. 1.
