Global Luxury

"My decision was clear to make a change after a very short time but I didn’t make the change to Coldwell Banker Schmidt Family of Companies until 2016. I needed to join a brokerage firm that had the same goals and vision that I did for my business. I wanted to do more to develop my skill set and build a bigger business. And as a result of their outstanding marketing team, sales training and most importantly - Broker support - my business and my market presence has more than doubled. The Global Luxury Brand and the Luxury certification training has made such a positive impact on my business. The support staff is amazing and to have a marketing team that handles my branding and marketing so that I can focus on listing and selling was another key reason why I made the change. I am so grateful to Ken and Mike Schmidt for taking a chance on me and for helping me grow into the best version of myself."

Our Schmidt Family Story

OUR SCHMIDT FAMILY STORY

Schmidt Family of Companies has experienced phenomenal growth since its inception in 1927. Founded by Harold F. Schmidt, the company is now led by his grandson and great-grandson. H. F. Schmidt Real Estate, as the firm was originally known, was based on the principles of honesty, integrity and an unwavering commitment to outstanding service. Harold Schmidt’s adherence to these standards of excellence earned him the trust and confidence of his clients, building a solid foundation for what was to become one of the most respected and largest real estate brokerage firms in the Midwest.

Harold’s son, Joseph Schmidt, joined the company in 1946 and under his leadership the company experienced unparalleled growth. His sons Fred and Ken entered the company in 1962 and 1968, respectively. Today, Ken Schmidt is the CEO of the firm, Mike Schmidt is President, Tom Gray is the COO, and Steve Bell is CFO. The firm joined Coldwell Banker Corporation as a franchisee in 1983. Schmidt Family of Companies is now a fifth generation real estate firm and is one of the largest and most successful real estate affiliates in the country.
