(Vernon, British Columbia – September 23, 2024)
We are thrilled to announce the newest addition to the Coldwell Banker family—Coldwell Banker Executives Realty, led by veteran real estate professional Bill Hubbard. With over 35 years of experience in the real estate industry, Bill brings a wealth of knowledge, innovation, and passion to the Coldwell Banker brand, setting the stage for a new chapter in the interior of British Columbia.
A Legacy of Excellence
Bill Hubbard’s journey in real estate began in Millwoods, Edmonton, Alberta, and has been marked by consistent achievements and recognition. After moving to British Columbia with Century 21 in 1996, Bill quickly made his mark, winning the prestigious Franchisee of the Year award for all of Canada in 2015. His offices consistently ranked in the Chairman’s Circle, placing them among the top 30 in the country, and were awarded the Grand Centurion status—the highest production award in the Century 21 system.
Beyond these accolades, Bill’s commitment to community is evident in his efforts to support Easter Seals Send a Kid to Summer Camp, one of Canada’s top fundraisers. His dedication to philanthropy aligns perfectly with Coldwell Banker’s values, and we look forward to collaborating on future charitable initiatives.

Adapting to a Changing Industry
In 2018, Bill recognized the seismic shifts occurring in the real estate industry. The traditional bricks-and-mortar office model was losing relevance as REALTORS® began taking control of their marketing and advertising, often through third-party contractors offering more efficient and cost-effective solutions. Understanding these changes, Bill made the bold decision to pivot his business model, creating a hybrid that balanced the best of both traditional and modern approaches.
This strategic shift paid off, with his team growing from 55 REALTORS® in 2018 to 160 in 2024. The COVID-19 pandemic further accelerated the adoption of this new model, enabling the business to thrive in an increasingly digital world.

A New Partnership with Coldwell Banker
The final piece of the puzzle was finding a brand that resonated with Bill’s vision. After careful consideration, Coldwell Banker stood out as the ideal partner. Known for its advanced technology, progressive approach, and strong presence in the Canadian market, Coldwell Banker met and exceeded all of Bill’s expectations.
With the launch of Coldwell Banker Executives Realty, Bill is poised to lead his team to even greater heights. His goal is to establish a dominant position in the eight market areas his offices serve across the interior of BC.
Looking Ahead
As we welcome Coldwell Banker Executives Realty into our network, we are excited about the future. Bill Hubbard’s innovative spirit and deep industry expertise are invaluable assets to our brand. Together, we will continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in real estate, delivering unparalleled service and value to our clients and communities.
