Excellent Real Estate Brokerage

Business Outlook

Pros

Great networking, high quality of peers, good marketing. Coldwell Banker has a fantastic relo program and brand recognition. Within my state all 12 CB locations roll up to one managing broker, as opposed to RE/Max's multiple competing franchises. I have been impressed with how wiling my colleagues are to give me price opinions or other assistance on properties that are outside my normal geographic area of expertise. I have not generally experienced this outside of Coldwell Banker.

Cons

Weak accounting/IT and support, can be very bureaucratic. And I really, really hate the $259 commission (fee) that we have to charge each client or pay ourselves. Lots of nickel and dime action.
