Hurricane Irene left devastation along the coast and a mess for our friends and family there to clean up. The photo above brought to mind how strong the Coldwell Banker network really is. You notice the Coldwell Banker sign standing firm with water rising everywhere.

Coldwell Banker is a company born in 1906 out of one of the United States worst disasters....the San Francisco earthquake and fires. Two gentleman, Coldwell Colbert and Benjamin Banker saw a better way to help the community they loved rebuild. They founded a real estate company on what was a revolutionary idea at the time with the motto of "the clients interest above all else".

Fast forward............1933. The Great Depression. A time that only the strong survived! Not only did Coldwell Banker survive, we continued to innovate. The Coldwell Banker Previews program was created in 1933 and is now widely recognized as the PREMIER luxury marketing program in the world. With a clients list that reads like a who's who including 4 past United States Presidents, world leaders, business leaders, celebrities and sports greats, this incredible program again was created in a time that other companies floundered.

Hurricane Katrina.........Our Coldwell Banker friends all along the Gulf quickly got business back on track and served tirelessly to help the communities they loved.

Community.....it really is what Coldwell Banker is all about. We just happen to have a very large community located in 47 countries. We love the communities and clients we serve..... YOU are what make us strong and YOU are what make us the Premier Real Estate Organization in the World!

Here's to a fast recovery to our clients, friends, family and colleagues that were in the path of Hurricane Irene. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today.
