Coldwell Banker: Top Producers & Milestone
The year 2023 is a special year for Coldwell Banker Bermuda Realty celebrating 70 years since the start of the company in 1953 as L.P. Gutteridge.
A spokesperson said, “Bermuda Realty is one of, if not the oldest, real estate company in Bermuda. We also are celebrating our 25th year as a Coldwell Banker affiliated office.
“Coldwell Banker was founded in 1906 when Colbert Coldwell, a young real estate sales associate, observed families trying to piece their lives together following the disastrous San Francisco earthquake. In the earthquake’s aftermath, Coldwell disapproved of sales associates who acquired properties from vulnerable sellers and greedily resold each property at a huge profit.

“Seeing a need for honest, empowering, and knowledgeable real estate professionals, Coldwell formed his own company, titled ‘Tucker, Lynch & Coldwell.’ In 1913, as the company grew, Coldwell invited salesman, Benjamin Arthur Banker, to accompany him on his mission. Eventually welcoming Banker as his partner, Coldwell’s company evolved into Coldwell Banker, being based on the principles of honesty, integrity and service. Coldwell Banker is part of Realogy Holdings Corp. who is recognized for eleven consecutive years as one of the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere.
“In a celebration of this milestone anniversary, our tremendous team and honoring our top producing agents, Bermuda Realty Company Limited, proudly announces the recipients of its highly coveted Top Producers Awards. This annual event serves as a testament to the dedication, expertise, and exceptional contributions of our most outstanding team members who have demonstrated unparalleled commitment and success in serving our valued clients.
“The top achiever awards, represents the pinnacle of recognition within our organization.

The recipients of the 2023 Top Agent Awards are:
Angela Hanwell – #1 Sales/Rental Agent

With every transaction, I’ve not only secured properties, but also built lasting relationships based on trust and satisfaction.”
Adam Birch – #2 Sales/Rental Agent
Adam has been one of the top agents for four years running now. Adam stated, “There are two key factors to my success, the first is the long list of clients and customers – especially the ones who have given me repeat business over the years and trust with their real estate needs. They are invaluable and I’ve made so many lifelong friends along the way. The second is the support I have from my coworkers, managers and admin staff at Coldwell Banker. I have such great resources at my finger tips to be able to market and fully expose new listings to the market, whether rentals or sales. We have the databases, we have the knowledge and an open-door policy to share ideas within our company to help people find the homes that they love. I honestly love what I do, it isn’t all smooth sailing but that would be dull!”
