Coldwell Banker Premier Breaks Into Top 20 Nationwide, Earns Chairman’s Circle Recognition for Fifth Consecutive Year
Coldwell Banker Premier Achieves Top 20 National Ranking and Fifth Consecutive Chairman’s Circle Award
Coldwell Banker Premier is proud to announce another major achievement in the company’s continued growth and commitment to excellence. For the fifth consecutive year, Coldwell Banker Premier has earned placement in the prestigious Coldwell Banker Chairman’s Circle, the highest level of recognition within the Coldwell Banker network.
Adding to this milestone, the company has also achieved its highest national ranking to date, securing the #19 position among more than 500 Coldwell Banker affiliate companies nationwide based on closed transaction sides in 2025.
Founder and CEO Steve DuBrueler credits this recognition to the people, culture, and values that have guided Coldwell Banker Premier since its founding.
“I’m incredibly proud of my people and grateful for the way they continue to show up for their clients and for each other. Awards like this are a privilege, but what really matters most is that we’ve built a team that prioritizes integrity, relationships, and doing the right thing. When you stick to those core values, the accolades have a way of following.”
This achievement reflects the dedication of our agents, staff, leadership team, and the thousands of clients who continue to trust Coldwell Banker Premier with their real estate needs.
A Record of Consistent Excellence
The Chairman’s Circle designation is reserved for top-performing Coldwell Banker affiliates that achieve more than $12 million in adjusted gross commission income during the calendar year. Earning this honor once is an accomplishment. Achieving it five years in a row demonstrates a sustained commitment to excellence, innovation, and client service.
Since first entering Coldwell Banker’s Top 50 rankings in 2022, Coldwell Banker Premier has continued to climb the national leaderboard. Breaking into the Top 20 for the first time marks an important milestone in the company’s growth journey.
Today, Coldwell Banker Premier serves clients through 24 office locations across Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Washington, D.C., and Florida, with a team of approximately 400 real estate professionals dedicated to helping buyers, sellers, investors, landlords, and tenants achieve their goals.
Growing While Staying True to Our Mission
Over the past several years, Coldwell Banker Premier has invested heavily in technology, agent development, marketing resources, lead generation, and customer support systems designed to help agents deliver exceptional service in every market condition.
Chief Operating Officer Stephen Meadows noted that the company’s sustained success is also the result of strategic investments in agent support and a strong platform built for growth.
“Chairman’s Circle is one of the benchmarks we set for ourselves every year. It’s not an easy accomplishment, and attaining that goal year after year takes an enormous amount of focus and hard work. Standing in the top tier alongside companies more than twice our size speaks volumes about the caliber of our people and the strength of our platform.”
Many of the nation’s highest-ranked Coldwell Banker affiliates are significantly larger organizations operating in major metropolitan markets where average home prices are substantially higher. Despite these advantages, Coldwell Banker Premier has continued to compete at the highest level while serving communities across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions.
Delivering Results Across Every Division
The company’s growth extends beyond traditional residential real estate sales.
During 2025, Coldwell Banker Premier:
- Closed more than 2,000 transaction sides
- Expanded its luxury real estate services
- Grew its property management division to more than 1,000 properties under management
- Processed more than 2,100 vacation rental stays
- Continued investing in technology and support tools for agents and clients
This diversified approach allows Coldwell Banker Premier to provide comprehensive real estate solutions while delivering exceptional service throughout every stage of the property lifecycle.
The People Behind the Success
Since founding Coldwell Banker Premier in 1995, Steve DuBrueler has focused on building an organization centered on integrity, relationships, professionalism, and long-term client care. Those values continue to shape the company’s culture today and have played a key role in its rise among the nation’s top-performing real estate brokerages.
With approximately 400 agents and 50 staff members, Coldwell Banker Premier continues to grow while maintaining a strong commitment to the communities it serves.
Thank You to Our Clients and Communities
While industry recognition is an honor, our greatest achievement is the trust our clients place in us every day.
Whether helping first-time homebuyers, guiding families through a move, managing investment properties, or supporting luxury and vacation rental clients, our mission remains the same: delivering exceptional service and outstanding results.
We are grateful to our clients, referral partners, agents, and team members who have helped make this achievement possible.
Looking Ahead
As Coldwell Banker Premier continues to grow, we remain focused on investing in our people, embracing innovation, and providing the highest level of service across every market we serve.
This Top 20 national ranking and fifth consecutive Chairman’s Circle recognition are milestones worth celebrating, and they also inspire us to continue raising the bar.

Spring 2026 Housing Market Trends: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know
Spring 2026 Housing Market Trends: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know
The spring housing market is officially in motion, and while activity is picking up, today’s buyers and sellers are moving with more intention than we’ve seen in recent years.
According to new national survey data from Coldwell Banker Real Estate, both sides of the market are beginning to adapt to shifting conditions. Buyers are stepping back into the market with renewed motivation, while many sellers are finally deciding to move forward despite holding historically low mortgage rates.
The result? A market that is active, strategic, and heavily influenced by personal timing, affordability, and long term value.
Here are five major trends shaping the 2026 spring housing market.
1. More Sellers Are Finally Letting Go of Low Mortgage Rates
For the last few years, one of the biggest challenges in real estate has been the “lock-in effect.” Many homeowners secured mortgage rates below 5% and felt financially stuck in place.
That trend is finally starting to ease.
A growing number of sellers are deciding that life circumstances matter more than holding onto a low interest rate. Job relocations, growing families, downsizing, lifestyle changes, and major life transitions are pushing homeowners back into the market.
While mortgage rates still play a role in seller decision making, inventory may slowly begin improving as more homeowners decide the timing is right for their next move.
2. Buyers Are Returning After Pressing Pause
Another major trend this spring is the rise of what many agents are calling “comeback buyers.”
These are buyers who stepped away from the market over the last two years due to affordability concerns, rising rates, or uncertainty, but are now re-entering their search.
What’s interesting is that many of these buyers are returning with realistic expectations. Most are shopping within similar budgets as before, while others have adjusted their budgets upward to stay competitive in their desired markets.
Today’s buyers are more educated, more patient, and more strategic than the fast paced buyers we saw during the peak frenzy years.
3. Buyers Are No Longer Waiting Around for Perfect Rates
One of the clearest shifts happening in today’s market is mindset.
Many buyers have accepted that waiting indefinitely for dramatically lower mortgage rates may not be realistic.
Instead, buyers are focusing on finding the right home, negotiating smartly, and positioning themselves financially for long term ownership.
This spring, serious buyers are actively touring homes, writing offers, and moving forward when the right opportunity presents itself.
The market may not feel as rushed as previous years, but motivated buyers are absolutely still making moves.
4. Climate and Insurance Costs Are Becoming Bigger Factors
Today’s homebuyers are paying closer attention to more than just finishes and square footage.
Environmental risks and rising insurance costs are becoming a much larger part of the conversation, especially in areas affected by hurricanes, flooding, wildfires, or severe weather.
Buyers are asking more questions about:
- Flood zones
- Insurance premiums
- Energy efficiency
- Storm protection
- Long term maintenance costs
This shift reflects a broader focus on sustainability, preparedness, and overall cost of ownership.
5. Real Estate Markets Are Looking Very Different Across the Country
Not every housing market is behaving the same right now.
Some regions continue to heavily favor sellers due to limited inventory, while other areas are giving buyers more leverage and negotiation power.
This regional divide means local expertise matters more than ever.
National headlines only tell part of the story. What’s happening in one market may look completely different just a few states away.
That’s why working with a knowledgeable real estate professional who understands your local market conditions can make a major difference when buying or selling.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers in 2026
The 2026 housing market is not frozen, and it is not crashing.
It is evolving.
Today’s market rewards preparation, realistic expectations, and smart strategy. Buyers and sellers who understand current conditions and move intentionally are finding opportunities on both sides of the transaction.
Whether you’re considering buying your first home, making a move, downsizing, investing, or preparing to sell, understanding these trends can help you make more confident decisions.
