THE HISTORY BEHIND THE NAME

Since the devastating San Francisco earthquake of 1906, when real estate agent Colbert Coldwell, helped pull people from the rubble, he saw the need for trusted, honest and knowledgeable real estate service to help the city rebuild. A few years later, Benjamin Arthur Banker came on board and became a partner. Together their legacy of leadership, innovation and success has made history providing professionalism and superior customer service which has remained the core of the Coldwell Banker philosophy for more than 110 years! Now they take great pride in 88,000 agents in 49 countries, coming to Canada 74 years ago in 1943.

Recognized for their philanthropy, two of Coldwell Banker’s best known projects are “100 Homes for Humanity” and “Adopt-A- Pet”. To mark their 100th Anniversary in 2006 they started an initiative to raise $5Million to support 100 Homes for Humanity. To date they have raised $6.1Million and committed to more than 130 homes. After 100 years of helping people find homes Coldwell Banker’s mission now includes man’s best friend! Out of the rubble of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake Colbert Coldwell helped saved dogs along with people. They are proud to have joined forces with Adopt-A-Pet, North America’s largest non-profit pet adoption web site to help 20,000 dogs find a home this year!
