We are SO proud of our Commercial office and all of our incredibly hard-working agents who have earned 2016 Coldwell Banker Commercial Awards! We have officially won the “Commercial Elite” award which means we are in the top 15 Coldwell Banker Commercial affiliated companies globally out of more than 280 CBC offices (and now we’re technically Elite Squared!) This is a very prestigious designation and even more impressive because our Commercial office is only four years old!
The managing broker, Ben Keddie, congratulated his team: “It is truly a testament to your individual skill, persistence, work ethic and commitment to being “Elite”. Moreover it is a testament to us as individuals functioning as a team. This is truly a team award that I am so glad you are being recognized with.” As well as being designated as one of the Top 15 CBC Companies, our Commercial office was recognized as the #1 Office in Virginia, for the fourth year in a row! This is an amazing accomplishment and it is all due to the well-oiled machine that is our Commercial Office!
Many of our Commercial agents also received awards! Brian Cunningham was recognized as the #1 Sales Professional in Virginia and also earned the Gold Circle of Distinction, Heather Hagerman and Ben Keddie earned the Silver Circle of Distinction, and Carl Braun earned the Bronze Circle of Distinction!

Meet Paul
As a lifelong Fredericksburg resident, I have a wealth of knowledge about the area. After graduating from Virginia Tech in 2008, I started in the real estate industry in both the appraisal and brokerage side of the business. I continued solely into the brokerage side, gaining vast experience in both residential and commercial leasing and sales. I reside in downtown Fredericksburg with my beautiful family.

We are so honored to receive the Large Business of the Year Award this past Saturday from the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce! The Chamber of Commerce awards this honor to the “company that balances business success with a dedication to improving the community’s quality of life.” We’ve been proud to be actively involved in the Fredericksburg community since 1977 when our founder, Kevin Breen, started his real estate business. In 1982, he opened the first Coldwell Banker franchise in Virginia and we’ve been the area’s premier real estate company ever since! With our acquisition of the Coldwell Banker Carriage House office in Downtown Fredericksburg this January, we’ll continue to be the Fredericksburg area’s best source for real estate knowledge.
At Coldwell Banker Elite, we know that people make a community – not land or buildings or leases or franchises. We’re committed to giving back to our wonderful community by supporting multiple local charities. We raise $20,000 annually for the Greater Fredericksburg Habitat for Humanity, host fundraisers and sponsor adoptions for the Fredericksburg Regional SPCA, support the Rappahannock Big Brothers and Big Sisters program as well as sponsoring a lecture in the UMW Great Lives Series. For over 20 years, we’ve sponsored the Coldwell Banker Elite Grand Prix, a series of ten sporting events in which more than 4,000 athletes compete each year to raise cash for various charities. Aside from fundraising and sponsorships, we also have plenty of agents, staff, and brokers who are personally volunteer for each of these charitable causes. We’re here to stay, and that means helping make life a little better for our neighbors.
Thank you to the Fredericksburg Regional Chamber of Commerce for recognizing us as the Large Business of the Year! We truly appreciate all of our wonderful clients, friends, business partners and agents who make it easy to love our jobs!
