OUR CLIENTS SAY IT BEST

Selected Testimonials

Since our first meeting, Kate and Maria have been professional, down to earth, and excellent at their job. Most importantly, they helped our family sincerely and to the fullest extent to purchase our first home. Together, they are nothing short of the best, and it shows in the results they produce. I’m definitely looking forward to working with them again when our family reaches our next real estate milestone.

— Alexey Medvedev

I was the executor of an estate and had to sell a multi-million-dollar condo. Maria consistently demonstrated professionalism, handling every aspect of the process with great care and expertise. Her keen attention to detail and prompt communications made the experience much smoother than I could have hoped. She even negotiated an above market price and multiple offers in record time. If you’re looking for a trustworthy real estate professional, then I would highly recommend Maria.

Buying an apartment in New York can be daunting & exhilarating at the same time. We purchased a three bedroom at 200 East 83rd Street – without ever being allowed into the building as it was under construction—and are so grateful to Kate for securing us this incredible apartment and for her expert guidance of this only-in-New-York process!

Her skillset is really beyond a real estate professional’s core skills. She helped us in technical details dealing with the design, the financial issues, legal paperwork, and understanding the air rights, zoning and views.

She was able to really articulate & help us understand some of the complex and nuanced details which we would have easily overlooked in the contract.

Kate is not a real estate professional who will prioritize “closing” but rather she will assist and guide you through the complex buying process, fully understanding your requirements, aesthetic sense and curating the process to accomplish it.

She is a New Yorker and knows the City’s buildings / architecture inside out and the pros & the cons of every decision. Kate is very thorough & efficient in the whole process of contemplating, organizing actual apartment visits, pricing calibration, and weighing in on all of the decision outcomes. As we experienced when she helped us find our new home, she will help you through every step and she offers intelligent data points to make the final decision.

If you love New York as much as we do, you want someone like Kate Wollman-Mahan by your side to help you navigate the process - and make it fun by teaching you a thing or two about the parks, neighborhoods, the real estate market & historical buildings.

We hired Kate and Maria to help us navigate the purchase a New York City pied-a-terre. Throughout the process they consistently demonstrated an impressive knowledge of the current market. They were not only well-informed, but they also were very attuned to our preferences and location parameters. What truly set them apart was the continuous support they provided every step of the way. They connected us with a network of professionals including several contractors and even an architect, making what could have been a stressful process much more manageable. Perhaps most invaluable was their guidance in assembling the application for our co-op Board. Having Kate and Maria as our brokers during the daunting process of finding and purchasing a co-op was invaluable. I’m deeply thankful for their dedication and insight.

BRAND POWER

Commanding instant respect and trust in New York City and the world over.

A CENTURY OF “FIRSTS”

The Coldwell Banker brand has always lived on the cutting edge of luxury, cemented by more than a century of innovation starting in San Francisco’s Financial District in 1906. Along Manhattan’s prestigious Madison Avenue in 1933, luxury real estate marketing was revolutionized by capturing fine estate homes on film. Today, we are a worldwide trailblazer in video, mobile, social media and smart home technology.

In 2020, we unveiled an exciting change to the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program — with the much-anticipated debut of a new look. Our new branding elegantly reflects the exceptional nature of the program’s Luxury Property Specialists and that of their distinguished clientele.

Two visionaries establish Coldwell Banker on the foundation of ethical business practices in the real estate industry, a first for its time.

For the first time, prized estates are marketed through motion-picture technology.

Coldwell Banker Real Estate becomes the first national real estate company to launch a YouTube channel.

A new era of luxury real estate begins with the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program. 2017

Coldwell Banker affiliated agents handled 32,663 transaction sides and, on average, $168.4 million in $1 million+ home sales each day*. 2020

Coldwell Banker enters New York City with the acquisition of Warburg Realty.
