QUOTES 
"I am extremely excited to welcome three new brokerages to the Coldwell Banker brand. We are at a crucial moment where it is no longer enough to have conversations about diversity, and brands like Coldwell Banker must act. This program will increase diversity among our brokerages, supporting minority, women, LGBTQ+, and veteran entrepreneurs. When we increase diversity among our broker-owners and focus on a culture of inclusion brokerages will better serve groups that are traditionally underrepresented as home and property owners. Coldwell Banker can help build wealth for diverse communities and promote equal opportunity for all."

"The Omni Group has helped build generational wealth for the Latino community in Orange County for many years. Owning a house and generating rental income can help families pay for critical expenses such as college tuition. We're thrilled to be a part of Coldwell Banker because the Latino community deserves to have a powerful brand with luxury offerings behind their real estate transactions. We are confident this partnership can help us grow our business and better serve our clients. The Coldwell Banker brand is a great partner, we've embarked on an amazing journey since making the decision to affiliate."

"Coldwell Banker's Inclusive Ownership program supported us so we could do everything right as soon as we affiliated with the brand. We recognized we needed a strong brand behind our company to attract clients in our community. Through this program we've been able to expand our office, attract agents with area expertise and train our recruits well. It sets us up for success as a woman-owned business that values diversity and we look forward to many years ahead of serving the Grand Island community. I'm excited to work with the bright, supportive team at Coldwell Banker."

"As our company has expanded throughout Northern Arizona, I knew it was time to expand into the commercial real estate sector, utilizing the resources of the Coldwell Banker Commercial brand. The technology, marketing support and education from the Coldwell Banker Commercial brand is amazing and will have an enormous impact on our successes. I'm excited to pursue this great opportunity and launch this new endeavor as a woman-owned commercial real estate brokerage."
