Coldwell Banker Commercial

Coldwell Banker Commercial is the commercial side of the Coldwell Banker brand, run as a network of independently owned franchises alongside company-owned offices held by a subsidiary of Anywhere Advisors LLC. A client deals with the local affiliate rather than with the brand's Madison, New Jersey headquarters.

Affiliated professionals handle investment services, landlord and tenant representation, property management, construction management, market research, property valuation and lease negotiation. The national listing site covers business, development, hospitality, industrial, land, mixed-use, multifamily, office, retail and special-purpose property, and the network notes that not every service is offered in every market.

The brand traces its history to 1906, added residential brokerage in 1925 and went public in 1968. Today it reports a network spanning 40 countries with 3,396 brokerage professionals, and it also sells franchises to brokerages that want the brand.

Because each affiliate is independently owned and operated, experience, specialization and depth vary office by office. A buyer who wants one accountable team across several markets should test that before engaging, and should vet the local firm through the network's own professional directory.
