Coldwell Banker Peter Benninger Realty Celebrates 40 Years of Excellence in Kitchener-Waterloo

2025 marks a milestone for one of Ontario’s most respected real estate brokerages: Coldwell Banker Peter Benninger Realty is celebrating 40 years of service, leadership, and community impact in the Kitchener-Waterloo region.

Founded in 1985 by visionary entrepreneur Peter Benninger, the brokerage has grown from a small local office to a full-service, multi-division team of over 100 professionals, serving residential, commercial, and relocation clients with dedication and innovation.

A Vision That Endures

Peter Benninger set out with a belief that has stood the test of time: real estate is built on trust. In 1992, the brokerage became part of the Coldwell Banker global network, bringing international resources to a business rooted in local relationships. “Access to information has changed, but the need for sound advice hasn’t,” Peter explains. “Buyers and sellers still want a trusted advisor to guide them through life’s biggest decisions.” That trusted advisor model has remained at the heart of the brokerage’s identity for four decades.

Innovation That Enhances Service

Coldwell Banker Peter Benninger Realty has consistently embraced innovation to improve the real estate experience. From adopting digital marketing early on to launching a custom-built Real Estate Consumer Centre, the brokerage has continually invested in technology, training, and tools that put clients first. Agents leverage advanced data analytics, virtual tours, and paperless workflows, ensuring that every transaction is handled with care and efficiency.

A Brokerage That Gives Back

At the core of CBPB Realty’s culture is a commitment to community involvement and social responsibility. Over the past 40 years, the brokerage has proudly supported dozens of charitable organizations and community programs, reinforcing the principle that success should benefit everyone.

These community partnerships Include:

• • Habitat for Humanity Waterloo Region- CBPB Realty team members have participated in build days, fundraising drives, and corporate support to help provide safe, affordable housing for families in need.
  • KidsAbility- By supporting therapy services and inclusion programming for children with special needs, the brokerage helps improve the lives of some of the region’s youngest and most vulnerable citizens.
  • House of Friendship- From food drives to financial donations, the brokerage contributes to this vital organization that provides shelter, addiction recovery, and family support.
  • The Food Bank of Waterloo Region- Annual campaigns led by agents and staff bring much-needed support to help fight food insecurity across the region.

Leading the Way in Fire Safety Education

One of the most unique and impactful initiatives led by Coldwell Banker Peter Benninger Realty has been its commitment to fire safety training. Understanding that homeownership comes with responsibilities beyond the sale, the brokerage has partnered with local fire services to educate the public and their own agents on vital home safety practices.

Highlights include:

• Fire extinguisher uses and demonstrations for agents and staff
• Fire evacuation planning tips shared with clients, especially new homeowners
• Support of local awareness events during Fire Prevention Week

This ongoing focus on safety aligns with the brokerage’s broader mission: helping clients not just buy or sell homes, but live securely and confidently in them.

A Culture of Leadership

Many of CBPB Realty’s professionals have spent the bulk of their careers here, drawn by a company culture that values integrity, collaboration, and continuous learning. In recent years, the brokerage has expanded through strategic mergers bringing even more talent under one trusted brand. Their team-first mindset, combined with a strong mentorship culture and professional development programs, continues to attract top talent from across the KW region.

Looking Ahead with Purpose

As Coldwell Banker Peter Benninger Realty enters its fifth decade, it remains laser-focused on what matters: client care, innovation, and community connection.

On behalf of Coldwell Banker Canada, we congratulate Peter Benninger and the entire team at Coldwell Banker Peter Benninger Realty, Brokerage for four outstanding decades of service and for setting the gold standard in real estate and community leadership.
