Coldwell Banker Chesapeake
Coldwell Banker Chesapeake Real Estate Company has been serving the six counties of Maryland’s Eastern Shore (Dorchester, Talbot, Caroline, Queen Anne’s, Kent, and Cecil) and Delaware from offices in Easton, Chestertown and Chesapeake since 2010. Coldwell Banker Chesapeake was named the #1 Coldwell Banker Affiliate in Maryland in 2024
Culture
We are eastern shore locals who pride ourselves on our independence and culture. We believe our clients value local knowledge and culture above national branding. We are part of the communities which we serve. You can find us at the Maryland Five Star in Fair Hill, the Chestertown Tea Party and Down rigging, the Chesapeake City Sip and Stroll, or building houses for Habitat For Humanity Choptank in Easton and Cambridge.
Agent Back-up and support
While our competitors boast of their commission splits and/or their technology, our primary value proposition is agent back-up and support. Sure, we provide our associates with state-of-the-art technology. The difference between us and our competitors is that we teach our agents to use these digital productivity and marketing tools to become more productive and build profitable businesses. You will not be hired and then ignored at Coldwell Banker Chesapeake Real Estate Company. Our managers and administrators do not compete with our agents – we support them.
Transparency
Our business model is transparent. We don’t attract agents with 100% commission offers and then claw it back with fees. We offer a generous sliding scale commission plan where you earn what your worth. At the end of the year do you want to brag about your commission split or your 1099-earnings?
Education
At Coldwell Banker Chesapeake Real Estate Company we are committed to lifelong professional development. Coldwell Banker University® is designed to help agents learn and continue learning throughout their careers. In 2023 our instructors earned a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 96 – which is quite meaningful coming from the gold-standard in customer experience metrics and knowing that a score of 80 or above is considered world class. Also noteworthy, we logged over 110,000 total course registrations in 2023, which equates to a registration every five minutes from our ardent affiliated agent community.
Brand Power
We have empowered our network to close 481,548 total U.S. transaction sides and $234 billion in sales volume in 2024.

After more than 35 years in real estate, I can confidently say that being part of Coldwell Banker Chesapeake has been one of the best decisions of my career.

As a full-time agent and multi-million dollar producer, I rely on Coldwell Banker Chesapeake’s tools, marketing support, and leadership to deliver exceptional service to my clients. Whether I’m listing a waterfront property, selling a historic home, or helping buyers find the perfect place to put down roots, I know I have a team behind me that’s committed to professionalism, innovation, and client success.

Murphy O'Neill
Real Estate Professional
I chose Coldwell Banker Chesapeake due to its global reach. People from all over the world move to the Eastern Shore and I wanted to be associated with a name those people already knew. The office is filled with the best veterans in our area who genuinely care about my future and take interest in my success. Our broker provides training and support to keep us up to date with regulatory changes, trends, and methods to grow in our distinct region. The broker Hugh Smith guides you distinctly based on your goals while simultaneously pushing you to grow. He maintains constant contact and it is evident that he cares about us as individuals. I feel like I can focus on client relationships because the administration takes care of giving me the tools (documents, training, hands on support and advice) I need to protect myself in all transactions and marketing. The brokerage has a small boutique feel due to the easy access with the broker even though we receive the tools, technology package, and name recognition of a global brand. Selling is even made easier with CB Chesapeake due to the office's control of the local market and large client base. Oftentimes another agent will have a buyer for your listings or a listing for your buyers. If you want to succeed and grow as both an agent and member of the community then I recommend choosing CB Chesapeake.
Take the first steps toward living an exceptional life. We would love to speak with you.
