At Coldwell Banker Advantage, we are very proud of our agents’ involvement.

Other synergies include an extensive marketing presence, a comprehensive training program, and a state-of-the-art virtual Technology Help Desk. “Part of the reason we have seen exponential growth is that we have a phenomenal support staff, which serves our more than 700 agents, and our leadership team continually focuses on adapting and refining our services to meet the needs of our agents, so they can provide clients with the most positive experience. This involves keeping local leadership in place whenever possible, since nobody knows the local market better than someone who has been working in it for years. Casey is a great example of this; his reputation for integrity and more than 35 years of experience in Carteret County provide our company with a substantial benefit,” added Milam. “Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage is known for honesty, ethics and a commitment to support the local community,” said Wagner.  In 2019, Coldwell Banker Sea Coast Advantage sold over 8,000 homes for in-excess of $2 Billion – maintaining its two decade streak of being the number one real estate company in Northeastern South Carolina and Southeastern North Carolina. http://redefinedrealestategroup.com/blog/939/merger-of-coldwell-banker-spectrum-and-coldwell-banker-sea-coast-advantage-a-win-for-clients-agents/ Wed, 05 Aug 2020 05:46:02 -0500
