Deciding on the right Real Estate company can be overwhelming. Our benefits and culture make the decision easy.
Virtual Tools
We pay for digital tools to make the everyday work of being a real estate agent as easy and paperless as possible.
Learn More
Every CBE agent has free access to top-of-the-line e-signing tools, easy ways to submit transactions and store your documents, a constantly updated digital library of forms, beautiful and painless flyer and CMA creators, plus a single-listing website and social media ads that are created without lifting a finger. We want to free up as much of your precious time as possible and give you back that opportunity to further your education, spend time with family or even prospect for new leads.
Full-time Support Staff
We have over 50 full-time employees here to help you with every aspect of your business: marketing, branding, education and coaching.

There is simply no other company in the area that offers quite as much technological, personal and professional support to its agents in order to set them up for success than Coldwell Banker Elite does—and with our new CAP commission program, you don’t pay any more in fees than you would at a discount brokerage.

Commission CAP program
Keep more of your money while getting more broker support.
Learn More
On this episode of Real Estate Mythbusters, we’re disproving the old myth that Coldwell Banker Elite has high brokerage fees and that’s how we can afford to offer such great programs and tools. With our commission CAP program, you’ll actually end up keeping more of your hard-earned money while getting the same level of above-and-beyond broker support and tools.
We know there are cut-rate brokerages out there that can talk a good game. We usually hear all about it once their agents end up joining us a few months later. Our support, resources and expert advice typically wind up being far more valuable than the alternative: working with no help, buying tools for yourself and having to figure out your whole business plan alone.
