My Company
The Coldwell Banker Schmidt Family of Companies has been recognized as the third largest Coldwell Banker Affiliate in the nation for 2009. The ranking was based on closed units as among over 1,200 Coldwell Banker affiliates nationwide.
In a letter to Ken and Mike Schmidt, Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC President and CEO Jim Gillespie noted that “Your production levels were up from the previous year, a fact that very few real estate companies across our country can lay claim to. A job well done!” Gillespie went on to note the company’s success in the upper tier markets throughout Western and Northern Michigan as a premier marketer of Coldwell Banker Previews International properties.
“It’s really amazing to see our company ranked third in the nation, but it validates our belief that a long term commitment to this business, cutting edge technology and hard work yields success” said Mike Schmidt, President of The Coldwell Banker Schmidt Family of Companies. “That we’ve experienced an increase in production in what has been a difficult market is testament to the absolutely outstanding efforts of our agents. We’re very much blessed to have such a fantastic group of professionals who have chosen to partner with us in their real estate careers.”
