Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Opens New Pacific Heights Flagship Office in San Francisco

San Francisco, CA, May 31, 2014 --(PR.com)-- Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, the Bay Area's leading real estate services company, announced today the grand opening of its new flagship office in San Francisco's prestigious Pacific Heights neighborhood.

The state-of-the-art office will specialize in luxury real estate and house more than 70 of the city's leading real estate professionals, including several luxury specialists who are ranked among the top agents worldwide. Together, the sales team recorded more than $1 billion gross sales volume last year alone, a total that exceeds the production of many entire real estate companies.

Today's announcement will help Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage meet growing customer demand for its services and build on its strong position in the local market. The company is the leading residential brokerage in San Francisco with more than $1.8 billion in total sales volume last year, nearly 18 percent more than its nearest rival.

The new office, located in the heart of the Pacific Heights neighborhood at 1560 Van Ness Avenue, replaces the former Coldwell Banker TRI office nearby, which was home to the agents for the past 30 years. It will also mark the end of an era for the TRI residential brokerage brand, which Coldwell Banker inherited by acquisition in 1998.

Agents in the new Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Pacific Heights office will market high-end properties through the exclusive Coldwell Banker Previews International® marketing program, one of the world's most recognizable names in luxury real estate.

"The Pacific Heights neighborhood has some of the most spectacular homes and estates, and Previews® has been a recognized leader in the marketing of luxury homes for more than 80 years," said Mike James, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. "This location was a perfect fit for our agents and will enable us to better serve our discriminating clientele."

Through its Coldwell Banker Previews International® customized marketing services, Coldwell Banker has represented and sold stately castles, remote islands, mansions and estates around the world. In fact, Previews® handles an average of more than $100 million in luxury home sales every day.

“Our new Pacific Heights office was created to be not just a workplace for our agents, but a destination for buyers and sellers of luxury real estate," said Manager John McInerney. "The new office aesthetics, coupled with the latest technology and advanced audio video equipment, creates an environment where the city's top REALTORS® can meet with their clients in a luxurious yet highly professional and functional setting."

McInerney said the new facility at the corner of California and Van Ness is located at one of San Francisco's most important transit corridors, featuring the landmark cable car turnaround for the California line.

The new Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage office space was custom built from the ground up for the company and represents a balance between luxury and modern design amenities. It includes a combination of private offices and an open floor plan work setting, coupled with dramatic 20-foot-high ceilings. The architectural and design aesthetics are enhanced by a unique collection of art created by Bay Area artists.

From a technology standpoint the Pacific Heights facility will be unequalled among peer real estate offices. It comes with the latest high-tech and interactive video equipment for property viewing and information gathering. Workstations and meeting rooms are equipped with the fastest Internet connections, allowing agents to provide up to the minute information to clients and to share detailed listing data and high-definition videos of properties as they talk.
