In 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!
