not a discount company, for members or clients, but results are proven. Support is here if you seek it, but you must. It doesn't find you. Proactivity required.

Overall my experience at Coldwell Banker has been excellent and their name recognition is unsurpassed. Their purchase of Zip Realty was a wise business decision.

Pros

From a marketing standpoint there is no known real estate agency better than Coldwell Banker which advertises listed property on numerous websites and in newsprint.

Cons

Many real estate brokers fail in their first year there because of the high cost for their marketing fees and E and O Insurance when there is very limited revenue coming in the first year. All realtors face heavy MLS and Sentrilock fees also.
