"We came to Coldwell Banker Success as a group in the 4th quarter of 2007. It was fantastic timing for all of us. Even though the real estate market is slower, we hit the ground running and we haven't missed a step. In addition, the integrity of the ownership group here at Coldwell Banker Success is evident: promises were made and promises were kept.
That speaks volumes in terms of the company we keep."

“I sold my company in 2006 to Coldwell Banker Success because of the demonstrated integrity on the part of Peter Sveum. I never felt pressured and knew that his word was his word. And he and the entire Coldwell Banker owner group have kept every promise made. Saying what you mean and meaning what you say. That’s a good way of doing business.”

“Nationally, Coldwell Banker has 96% brand awareness among consumers – that’s right up there with Nike, Coke and Pepsi!
Locally, our share of the market is nothing short of impressive. I’ve been with Coldwell Banker Success for nearly 10 years and, in my opinion, our success as a company is directly related to our ability to attract a competitive, yet cooperative, group of dedicated real estate professionals. My company peers and I have a passion to succeed and that passion is reflected in our company performance.”

"I came to Coldwell Banker Success four years ago when I made a career change from from a management position with the State of Wisconsin. I was looking for more flexibility and unlimited earnings potential. I received both here. I can't say it was just one thing that made me the success I am today. In fact, I would have to say that it started with my personal drive and business understanding and then exponentially ratcheted up by Phil Sveum's willingness to take a chance on me. It paid off. I received the help and guidance I needed from the staff and the rest is history. It's not the easiest career choice I could have made by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a fun and rewarding one."

“I spent my first 6 months as a new sales associate at another local real estate company. With only two sales in those six months I wasn’t feeling very productive and my new real estate career wasn’t progressing very quickly. Through one of those transactions, I met a number of Coldwell Banker Success associates. They interviewed me and I interviewed them and I liked what I heard.
I chose Coldwell Banker Success because of the quality of the people and established program systems available for niche markets. The company has wonderful name recognition and nationwide relocation services. Additionally, the local broker is highly regarded and active in the community. The local office staff support sales associates' needs in marketing and administration. A bonus was a Sales Manager who provides just-in-time coaching and training programs. The organization recognizes and supports furthering my education.
I'm pleased I made a change. I'm serving more families, meeting my personal and financial goals, and pursuing educational opportunities.”

"My career in real estate, though short, has flourished. I point to two success moves I made: working with an experienced agent like Robin Winistorfer and working at Coldwell Banker Success. As part of a national brand, I know we get good quality leads/sales even in these slower economic times. That has helped my finances tremendously."

“As a group, we are happy with the switch we made to Coldwell Banker Success. It really is true that there are people out there, especially in the relocation business, who only want to deal with a local real estate company with a national brand - and Coldwell Banker is the best brand in real estate. It's been our experience, both individually and collectively, that we are better positioned in listing appointments because of the brand.”

“I used to work for Coldwell Banker in Connecticut. I’ve always thought of them as THE real estate company with which to work. When Coldwell Banker Success opened up the Sun Prairie office, I jumped at the chance to make the switch from Stark Company of Realtors to Coldwell Banker Success.
I have been extremely satisfied with what I have here. I found a great manager in Jim Todd who has been very helpful to me in setting up marketing plans. I am surrounded by great support help on all levels.
I can honestly say that Coldwell Banker has a phenomenal training/educational mechanism and I take advantage of the opportunity and utilize the corporate programs. And the icing on the cake is Coldwell Banker Success’ referral program which is fantastic and helped provide leads to me from the get-go.”

“After working the 8-to-5 shift for many years, I felt like I just couldn't continue to give the best hours of the day, every day of each week to advance someone else's career objectives. I was also frustrated by not having control over how much I earned. I felt like the meager 4% annual raise just didn't keep up with my objectives or work abilities. So, I ventured out. It had been a dream of mine to sell real estate for the 7 years I held my real estate license before I went into business for myself.
As long as I am vigilant in keeping in touch with my sphere and past clients, I have plenty of business coming in to keep me busy and financially rewarded. Having a good marketing plan and keeping a regular, though flexible, schedule is key. Real estate has been a challenging yet extremely satisfying career change for me. No regrets!”

"Our first year at Coldwell Banker Success has totally blown us away. Our new Middleton office is fantastic. The technology, education opportunities, staff support, marketing tools and systems we have here are at no extra expense and have been an eye opener to us. Just like so many other Realtors, we, too, were apprehensive of the words 'franchise fee'. But do yourself a favor and look at what's behind the franchise fee. You really need to look at the entire picture and weigh everything that is offered by a national company. We put it all on paper and we came out ahead. Now that we are here, we can honestly say we get way more services and support for the money. Plus, there's no set monthly overhead charge but an actual charge that is only paid when a closing happens. It's been an awesome move and has had a positive influence on our businesses. Coldwell Banker Success is always seeking ways to enhance their support to their agents as a way of returning their appreciation for the business we bring to them. It’s been a breath of fresh air!"

“Coldwell Banker Success, with its nationally acclaimed brand, gives its sales associates a definite advantage. The Coldwell Banker brand goes a long way in attracting new buyers and sellers, attracting relocation business, and getting more opportunities to be in front of more clients and customers. Coldwell Banker has all the tools in the world – tools that I would never have created or used in a smaller firm. It’s simply delightful to be able to pull out all the stops when delivering services to my clients.”

“Relocation referrals in a tight market like what we’re experiencing is often-times a shot in the arm when you need it. Coldwell Banker Success excels in this area. The company philosophy is to get all relocation leads matched up quickly and into the hands of the company’s sales associates. I, personally, have been the recipient of many qualified relocation referrals through the years, including 2008.
Coldwell Banker Success is part of the largest national relocation company in the world – Cartus – and because of that, we Realtors have a steady stream of relocation referrals. This helps anytime but is even more critical at times like this. I love being at Coldwell Banker Success. ”

“When I was ready to start my real estate career, one of my objectives was to align myself with a company that would take a vested interest in my growth as a Realtor. This is a competitive business and too many of the companies out there put you in a sink-or-swim scenario. I wanted more than a phone and a pat on the back. I wanted to work in an environment where learning to do things with professionalism and concern were the primary goal. I wanted a company that allowed me to treat my business as my own, while still guiding me through the obstacle course that is the real estate business. Whether a simple question about prospecting or help with drafting a complicated contract, there is always an open door to help and great agents in the office to explain how to get things done. At Coldwell Banker Success I found the help to make this my career.”

“I switched to Coldwell Banker Success earlier this year and I’ve never been happier. The company has national name recognition and is a local market leader which means more productive floor time for me. In my short time here, I have received some excellent referrals. I believe that’s partly due to the nationally acclaimed brand and partly due to working with non-competing brokers. In addition, Coldwell Banker Success makes it easy to do my business quickly and efficiently. There is a company photographer and visual tours are standard practice. Showings on my listings with feedback comments are easy since the company provides a centralized showing service. But most important to me, is that everywhere I turn in this company there are supportive staff and associates to assist and support me and my business workflow.”

“Coldwell Banker Success Janesville is the number one office in our market area. I believe this is because we are a very professional office with high standards and performance levels. Having that local leadership role, coupled with the strength of the national brand of Coldwell Banker behind me, is HUGE in the scheme of things. It helps me open doors. It helps me offer better tools. And, more importantly, it helps me build my business. Specifically, I like the intranet site ColdwellBankerWorks as it gives me one spot where I have everything at my fingertips. I use the listing presentation, the buyer presentation and I can access training and education opportunities. I can even use the intranet to get relevant and timely ideas for self-promotion and advertising.”

“What I love about Coldwell Banker Success is that, as a company, we are always moving forward. The staff keeps us informed and competitive in a tough market.
Some of the examples that come readily to mind include:
- Virtual tours and the ability to track where the hits are coming. With 82% of buyers looking online, this is extremely valuable.
- The additional coverage on Realtor.com. With 82% of buyers looking online, and most starting there, the idea of having 25 photos and a virtual tour instead of just one photo, is extremely valuable.
- The local statistics and information that is provided for us to help our buyers and sellers make the right decisions, is extremely valuable.
Working here at Coldwell Banker Success, with a management and staff that work together and contribute to our success, is PRICELESS.”

I have been with Coldwell Banker Success for 11 years and I will be here until I retire. The integrity and honesty of our company is top notch and excellent support from management. What’s unique is that I’ve surrounded myself with a group of high producing agents that all look out for each other and support each other in our individual businesses. It is unusual in any real estate market or company to see so many agents in one company doing so well and keeping high moral standards in the process. I know I’m with the best of the best!

“Customers and Clients often ask me how long I have been a Realtor and for what other companies I have worked. When I tell them 18 years and the same company they are often impressed since in this day and age few people stay at one place. Then the question arises---why do I? It's not that I have never thought about it or checked out other companies; it's just that the benefits of staying outweigh making a transition. And how do you leave family and friends? When I say family, I mean it literally, since my son, Jay is also an agent here. My peers and staff are friends, not just co-workers. Our broker has an open door policy so if you need advise he's always ready to listen. So ask me again, why would I change?”
