The Bellmarc Group Is Latest to Join The Coldwell Banker® Network

MADISON, NJ - (Marketwired - Jun 13, 2013) - Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC today announced that The Bellmarc Group has joined the Coldwell Banker® franchise system in the flagship market of Manhattan.

Led by owners Neil Binder, Anthony DeGrotta and Larry Friedman, Coldwell Banker The Bellmarc Group will now do business as Coldwell Banker Bellmarc and Coldwell Banker AC Lawrence, with a combined 600 real estate agents working in seven Manhattan office locations.

Throughout the process we were extremely impressed with Neil, Anthony and Larry and their shared vision for growing the Coldwell Banker brand and our Previews® luxury marketing program in this gateway city."

"Our company history is rooted in providing professional service to our clients and customers throughout the many neighborhood offices we have in Manhattan," said Binder, who will serve as president of Coldwell Banker The Bellmarc Group. "We saw Coldwell Banker as a logical extension of our desire to be the best in the business. We consider Coldwell Banker to be the premier international real estate brand with incredible reach into such locations as Europe, Asia, and Latin America and we are proud that they viewed us as a worthy partner in serving the Manhattan residential market. Larry, Anthony and I will continue to operate our company and we are enthused about the strategic growth plan we have in place.
