With 33 offices and more than 2,000 sales professionals in the Miami-Dade and Broward regions, Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate accounted for over $5 billion in closed sales volume and 10,553 closed transaction sides in 2006. According to Gus Rubio, Regional Senior Vice President for the Miami-Dade Region, “Our professional sales associates and employees make the difference at every level of the organization. Our industry faced many challenges in 2006, especially in Florida, but as the REAL Trends 500 report demonstrates, the depth of our resources and our commitment to truly remarkable service continue to make us the number one choice for real estate services in South Florida.”

If REAL Trends separately ranked Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate combined Florida operations in Broward, Central Florida, Miami-Dade, Northwest Florida, Palm Beach, Sarasota Bay, Southwest Florida and Tampa Bay, the company would be the fourth largest residential brokerage company in the United States with 35,642 closed transaction sides and over $14.7 billion in closed sales revenue in 2006.

*A transaction side is defined as either the listing or the selling portion of the residential sales transaction. (e.g., If a company listed and sold a home, it is credited with two closed transaction sides.)
