Coldwell Banker Canada Expands Atlantic Footprint With New Quispamsis Brokerage Led by Industry Coach and Entrepreneur

Coldwell Banker Excellence Realty Joins the Network, Offering Local Expertise and a Training-First Approach for Agents Across New Brunswick.

St. John, NB, December 17, 2025 – Coldwell Banker Canada is expanding its Atlantic presence with the opening of Coldwell Banker Excellence Realty, set to officially open on January 1, 2026. The brokerage will serve  Greater Saint John, Rothesay, Quispamsis, and surrounding communities. The launch represents a significant step in the brand’s continued investment across New Brunswick, aligning with its mission to elevate professional standards and provide more comprehensive support for homebuyers, sellers, and real estate professionals nationwide.

The opening of Coldwell Banker Excellence Realty reflects Coldwell Banker Canada’s broader direction, which includes targeted expansion, enhanced

training initiatives, and sustained investment in tools designed to elevate the real estate experience for consumers and professionals alike.

Coldwell Banker Excellence Realty is founded and led by Colin Bradford, a 20-year real estate veteran with experience spanning sales, senior brokerage leadership, and high-performance coaching. His passion for coaching, particularly team leaders and top-producing agents, ultimately shaped hiscareer as he built a multi-provincial coaching program that supported professionals across New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Manitoba, and Florida.

“This opening reflects the type of leadership and entrepreneurial spirit that is driving momentum across our network,” noted Karim Kennedy, Chief Executive Officer of Coldwell Banker Canada. “Colin has a track record of mentorship, team-building, and performance that aligns directly with our commitment to helping agents succeed at every stage of their careers. We are proud to welcome him to the Coldwell Banker Canada team.”

After relocating to New Brunswick and continuing to coach through the pandemic, Colin recognized an opportunity to bring a fresh leadership approach back into brokerage operations, one rooted in business fundamentals, agent development, and personalized growth strategies.

“Coldwell Banker Canada is a brand that understands the value of community,” explained Colin Bradford. “The autonomy they give brokers makes it possible to build a boutique-style environment that truly reflects the needs of the people who live and work here. My focus is creating a space where agents feel understood, encouraged, and equipped with the training and systems that help them serve their clients, and their communities, at the highest level.”

A distinguishing element of Coldwell Banker Excellence Realty will be its training-first culture, grounded in Colin’s background as a behavioural consultant and performance coach. New agents will have access to DISC assessments, tailored lead-generation plans, 

foundational business coaching, and ongoing development programs designed to help them reach their goals with clarity and confidence.

The brokerage’s model is designed to appeal to both new and experienced agents who value structured guidance, professional development, and the support of a globally recognized brand.

Quispamsis and the Greater Saint John region continue to see rising demand from both local and out-of-province buyers drawn to affordability, lifestyle, and economic growth. With Coldwell Banker Canada’s global support and Colin’s industry expertise, the brokerage aims to become a trusted partner for clients navigating the region’s evolving real estate landscape.

“This is a unique time in New Brunswick, and we see tremendous opportunity ahead,” Kennedy added. “Local leadership matters, and Colin is the kind of leader who will help shape the future of our presence across the province.”
