The great story of our real estate agency

Coldwell Banker® was founded in 1906 when Colbert Coldwell, a young real estate sales associate, observed families trying to piece their lives together following the disastrous San Francisco earthquake.Disapproving of sales associates who acquired property from vulnerable sellers and then resold it at huge profits, and seeing a need for honest, knowledgeable real estate professionals, he formed his own company.Then in 1913 Colbert Coldwell invites salesman Benjamin Arthur Banker to join his firm. Within a year the exceptionally industrious Banker is invited to become Coldwell’s partner.The foundation marked the beginning of a successful journey for a revolutionary brand, quickly securing a strong foothold in the American real estate market and eventually branching out globally taking advantage of booming economies. Penetrating both developed and developing markets globally, each having its set of challenges to overcome, gained strong support from our backbone in professional realty practices, excellent quality of service and our Sales Associates’ excellent knowledge and experience.Coldwell Banker entered the young yet aggressive and flourishing Dubai realty market in the year 2005 injecting its expertise into the industry and continues to offer clients a level of service and resources of which Colbert Coldwell and his partner Benjamin Banker would be proud of.
