    About Coldwell Banker

    In the wake of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Colbert Coldwell saw how many real estate agents took advantage of victims and decided there was a need for knowledgeable, reliable agents. That same year, he founded his company and in 1914 was joined by Benjamin Arthur Banker, who became a full partner.
    Today, Coldwell Banker agents handle residential, luxury, resort and commercial real estate sales.
