Coldwell_LogoIt was either despite his youth or because of it that Colbert Coldwell, then 23 years old with but two years of experience in the real estate business, saw opportunity in the rubble of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire.

On Aug. 27 of that year, Coldwell and two partners opened a real estate office at 53 Post St. — starting a company that was destined to become a fixture of the San Francisco business community and one of the largest real estate brokerages in the country.

It is amazing that it does not  matter what someones age or experience is when they have the drive and determination to start a company. Coldwell Banker started with such humble beginnings and is now such a large part of the real estate sales landscape.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate Corp., with more than 126,000 sales associates in 4,000 offices in 30 countries and territories, began its centennial celebration by bringing some 10,000 affiliates to its annual conference in San Francisco’s Moscone Center this week.

The firm is now a unit of the New Jersey travel and real estate services corporation Cendant. Sales in 2004 totaled $325.9 billion. via San Francisco Chronicle.
