Other key elements contributing to our success:

Our presence from Key Largo to Key West enables us to focus our
resources wherever and whenever necessary.

• With our luxury home expertise and our sales success, CBSREC Previews agents can bring your project to the direct attention of a substantial database of Keys luxury property buyers and prospects.

Our “Premier Real Estate Success System” (PRESS) is a network of the most advanced Business Generating Systems and Programs allowing our agents to provide the highest level of service to achieve your real estate goals. It is enabled in-house by a sophisticated marketing capability, leading edge information technology, and a dedicated real estate training department with its own training facility.

We believe our long ago adoption of “Single Agency” as the preferred manner for working with sellers and buyers has been a significant factor in the market-leading success of our agents. We consider “Single Agency” a clear differentiator for choosing a Coldwell Banker Schmitt Agent to represent your interests when selling or buying real estate.

These points of difference pay off in the measurable results noted above. They provide the foundation and guiding principles for management, staff and agents to rely upon in order to achieve ever-increasing levels of success for our buyers, our sellers, and themselves.
