In 2006 Coldwell Banker® will be turning 100 years old. In honor of this milestone, Coldwell Banker will be giving back to the community by participating in a "100 Habitat for Humanity® homes” program through the end of December 2006.
For decades, Coldwell Banker franchised offices have donated countless dollars and hours of labor to Habitat for Humanity. The Centennial Vision has raised the bar on this level of commitment. Habitat for Humanity is the national charity of choice of Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corporation.
Coldwell Banker offices are making a commitment to donate and/or raise funds to sponsor one or more full homes for a Habitat for Humanity affiliate in their local area.
Coldwell Banker is proud to participate in Habitat for Humanity’s universally praised mission – to build simple, decent and affordable homes in partnership with deserving families without regard to race, ethnic background or religion.
As realtors, as businesspeople, we are proud to dedicate our 100th anniversary to Habitat for Humanity.
Coldwell Banker –A Proud
Heritage
In 1906, Colbert Coldwell, a young real estate agent, observed families trying to piece their lives together following the San Francisco earthquake. Disapproving of agents who acquired property from vulnerable sellers and resold it at huge profits, and seeing a tremendous need for honest, knowledgeable real estate people, Colbert Coldwell founded his company with a revolutionary philosophy: the customer's best interest above all. In 1914, Benjamin Arthur Banker joined Colbert Coldwell as a full partner. Together, Coldwell and Banker forged a tradition of integrity, exceptional service and customer satisfaction that became the company's hallmark.
