Most importantly,we protect and stand behind our agents,giving you the confidence to thrive and the freedom to grow in any direction your career takes you

I came to CBA because they give me freedom to grow When we come to leadership with an idea of how to evolve our business to meet new demand, they respond with ?here?s the solution.? I love my broker-in-charge, the culture and the collaboration. #That'sCBA

AWESOMENESS

Awesomeness is the energy,optimism,and mindset that defines our agents and offices It shines through in how we do business,live our lives,and come together at unique events and causes. When our global network unites,sharing knowledge and inspiration,the result is truly unforgettable.

INGENUITY

Since 1906,ingenuity has been at the heart of the Coldwell Banker brand We?ve pioneered industry firsts? from creating the first real estate code of ethics to introducing big data tools and seller-focused strategies Our mission has always been to move the industry forward while guiding clients home with unmatched service.

DISCOVER HOW WE EMPOWER YOUR SUCCESS IN BUSINESS & LIFE.

At Coldwell Banker Advantage, the most important part of our business is ensuring our agents? growth and success In fact, our number-one priority is helping you live an exceptional life. How do we do it? We focus on the 4 areas of business that drive agent success This powerful system is the basis of our most unique and effective offerings

Wea l t h Bu il d er

We offer real financial strategies that affiliated agents can use to grow and protect their personal wealth,now and into the future We believe your best years are ahead of you

Pr o d u c t io n Po w er

We help affiliated agents sell more homes, make more money and work more efficiently.

t h e c ba w ay

We are a community of people who do things the right way,support each other,and provide the best service possible to our clients

a g en t d ev el o pmen t

Whether you are brand new or a experienced,we have the coaching and systems to help you grow.

Our unique compensation structure is called Fairshare Created to help our agents win more than their Fair Share of the business and income, it's a modified cap compensation program unlike any in the markets we serve.

Based on the needs of agents who wish to build a long term, successful referral based business, our Fairshare compensation program has several components:-

- While most capped compensation programs are designed to limit services once an agent achieves their cap, our Fairshare has a modified cap that ensures our services continue long after the cap is achieved

- Highly competitive splits that ensure our agents income outpaces the competition

- A unique royalty fee structure with Coldwell Banker that ensures our agents business expenses are aligned with their revenues by having 100% access and use of all our Coldwell Banker proprietary tools and training 100%of the time, but payment only occurs when a sale is closed; a far superior approach than competitors monthly fees or transactional feeadd-ons.

And for anyone wanting to build or grow a team, our Fairshare compensation structure is uniquely designed to support traditional vertical team structures or more complex horizontal team structures that can generate far more income than any competitor's revenueshare model..

We are at the sweet spot of support and compensation Agents need a good comp plan and freedom to grow, but we also need resources and support That?s CBA

When I need help with a transaction or if something goes wrong, the company is behind me: protecting me, offering me the resources I need to make sure things go smoothly. We have a great reputation in the market. It matters who you work with.
