Coldwell Banker Island Affiliates Renews Master Franchise Agreement with Coldwell Banker

For over 25 years, the brand has been guiding people home across the Caribbean and Western Atlantic region and plans to continue

MADISON, N.J., June 15, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Coldwell Banker Island Affiliates today announced that they are extending their affiliation with Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, an Anywhere Real Estate Inc. brand (NYSE: HOUS). Since launching in 1997, Coldwell Banker Island Affiliates has grown into a powerhouse brand with franchises in 14 countries and territories including Aruba, the Bahamas, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dominican Republic, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, St. Maarten, St. Lucia, St. Croix, St. Thomas and the Turks and Caicos Islands, with plans to soon expand its services to Anguilla, Curacao and St. Martin.

The Coldwell Banker Island Affiliates franchise network of 15 affiliates, 26 offices and 300 agents have access to a full suite of powerful marketing tools and resources for agents. Additionally, Coldwell Banker Island Affiliates offers a full suite of marketing services for consumers, including virtual tours, chat systems, and listing storybooks and videos.

Master franchise owner JC Calhoun founded Cayman Islands Realty in 1985 in the Cayman Islands and, soon after, recruited partner Allen Bloomrosen. In 1997 the duo expressed interest in expanding their enterprise with a global real estate company, and Coldwell Banker was the perfect opportunity to facilitate growth as the Coldwell Banker brand was looking for a great partner to grow the Caribbean and Western Atlantic, thus creating Coldwell Banker Island Affiliates and becoming the first Coldwell Banker International Master Franchise. In late 2022 Larry Burke, who designed all the software and systems to support the Master Franchise, was appointed CEO of the recently restructured company. This is a story of real estate veterans reinvesting upon the foundation of what they have done for decades with a lasting confidence in the future of the brand.
