About Coldwell Banker Schmitt Real Estate Co.

Coldwell Banker Schmitt Real Estate (CBSREC) brings a market-leading combination of resources to each property transaction that is both unique and invaluable, providing sales leadership, marketing structure, depth of knowledge, 69 years of experience, and the ability to make things happen.

Coldwell Banker Schmitt Real Estate has been the number-one real estate company across the Florida Keys since 2004 due to:

Longevity

We are a 69-year old company with a strong heritage, a long-term view and commitment to the real estate business. No other real estate company has been around for nearly as long.

Market Share

Our market share for sales sides and dollar volume in 2023 exceeded the next two companies combined, and the next three companies combined for waterfront properties.

Sales

$859.6 million sales volume for 2023 is 53% more that of the second-ranking company.*

We have been the #1 company for listings and sales across the Keys since 2004 due, in large part, to our Every Day Until It is Sold marketing program.  We're #41 among the 51 Coldwell Banker companies out of 550 in North America named to the elite Chairman’s Circle Company designation for 2022 based upon overall agent sales production. We’re ranked 2nd among Coldwell Banker affiliate companies in Florida.

Coldwell Banker Schmitt Real Estate Company (CBSREC), based on dollar volume of sales for 2022, was ranked among the most successful real estate companies in the United States, 

CBSREC is the only real estate company from the Florida Keys to have ever been ranked among the top 500 real estate companies in America.  This is Coldwell Banker Schmitt’s ninth appearance on RISMedia’s Top 500 brokers list and eighth on the REALTRENDS 500appearing at #357. U.S. Census Bureau statistics indicate there are over 106,500 real estate brokerages in America, placing CBSREC among the top one-third of one percent.

Listings

We had 72% more active listings than the second-ranking company at the end of 2023, and 2.3 times as many luxury listings.*

Luxury property listings and sales

Coldwell Banker Schmitt’s Luxury Island Properties program continues to dominate the high end of the Florida Keys real estate market, selling one-third more properties valued over $1.3MM than the number-two company and more than the top three companies combined.* 

Agent Productivity

Our Florida Keys Realtors average 2.2 times more sales sides than the average for all other agents Keys-wide.*

Giving Back To Our Community


Our Charitable Foundation has raised over $3,232,383
since its inception in April 2002 to support needy people and worthy programs exclusively in the Florida Keys.

Other key elements contributing to our success:

Our presence from Key Largo to Key West enables us to focus our resources wherever and whenever necessary.

Five modern, state-of-the-art offices strategically located in the five major markets of the Keys:*

We provide seven-day-a-week access to buyers and clients.

·         Our offices offer extended hours

·         Our web site provides live chat 24/7/365.

The Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program is specifically tailored for residences qualifying among the market's top 10 percent for price, style, amenities and landscaping.


Each qualifying CBSREC agent completes the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury specialist course with continuing training. They must also have specific experience in listing and selling the finest residences, along with a superlative record for customer service prior to designation as a Previews International agent.  With our Keys-wide luxury real estate home expertise, reflected in our sales success, CBSREC Global Luxury agents can bring your listing to the direct attention of a substantial database of Keys luxury property buyers and prospects.

Our Every Day Until It’s Sold program integrates Internet (including the most visited real estate company site in The Keys), virtual tours, video and more, along with email, newspaper, magazine, direct mail and network marketing to spheres of influence, past customers, clients and a global audience to effectively expose your property to the market.

We believe our long-ago adoption of “Single Agency” as the preferred manner for working with sellers and buyers has been a significant factor in the market-leading success of our agents and is a clear differentiator for choosing a Coldwell Banker Schmitt agent to fully represent your interest when selling or buying real estate.

These points of difference pay off in measurable results and provide the foundation and guiding principles on which management, staff and agents rely in order to achieve ever-increasing levels of success for our buyers, our sellers, and themselves.
