Coldwell Banker has released its 2017 30 under 30 honorees who have displayed exceptional sales, philanthropy and leadership skills under the franchisor’s umbrella.
This year’s 30 were chosen from a network of more than 88,000 independent real estate professionals from 3,000 offices across 49 countries.
The list pays homage to the company’s founders, Colbert Coldwell and Arthur Banker, who were only 24 and 28 years old when they began building the 111-year-old brand.
“It’s incredible to see how many talented professionals represent Coldwell Banker today, and the 30 young professionals being honored here are no exception,” said Coldwell Banker President and CEO Charlie Young in a statement.
“These honorees are paving the way for the future of the real estate industry with their commitment and passion to deliver impressive results for their communities,” he added. “Their entrepreneurial spirits have encouraged forward thinking and significant achievements for long-term success.”
