"I am confident that the extensive talents and diverse real estate experience Mike and Charles bring to their roles will further strengthen our industry leadership," said Clark W. Toole III, President, Florida, Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate and Coldwell Banker Commercial NRT. Murray joins the company’s Southeast Florida market from New York, where he held the position of senior vice president for Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Westchester and Fairfield county markets. While in this role, he elevated the Westchester county office to the company’s number two office in the U.S., contributing to a number four national ranking for the company’s Connecticut region.

| "Florida is an exciting place to work, live and play, and real estate is about relationships as is life. That being said, if we bring energy, passion and enthusiasm on a daily basis, then results will occur," stated Murray. "I am thrilled to be a part of something truly special."
Richardson has served in a senior leadership capacity with Coldwell Banker since 1998, most recently as Southeast Florida’s regional senior vice president. In 2010 he was presented with the prestigious Pinnacle Award by the Miami Association of Realtors® for his outstanding leadership in the industry and his participation in facilitating the merger of the Realtor® Association of Greater Miami and the Beaches and the Realtor® Association of Miami-Dade County — the largest merger in the history of the National Association of Realtors®. In his new role, Richardson will oversee 17 offices and nearly 750 sales associates in Hillsborough, Pasco and Pinellas counties. According to Richardson, "This is a great opportunity for me to return to a market where I worked as a real estate sales associate and manager earlier in my career. I am enthusiastic about future growth opportunities for the company and my sales team as I embrace the challenges we face in the real estate environment." He adds, "Tampa Bay is one of markets in Florida that attracts buyers from around the world and I look forward to expanding our outreach to capitalize on those international marketing opportunities."
