This is a bit sad. I'll miss seeing the Cashin name on signs around town. "Coldwell Banker" does not have a local flavor to it.

It is very sad that all the independent groups are being eaten up by the big guys. So much for caring and outstanding service in this world of "Big is always better??????" I disagree.

In reply to the previous message, please remember that the former Cashin Realtors, although now working under a new company, still do care and will continue to provide the outstanding service that our Cashin customers expect. I too value all that Cashin represented and will miss it; but I will also welcome working with many of our reputable colleagues at Coldwell Banker who in the past have been on the other side of the transactions.

I am a local Realtor, worked for 7 years Coldwell ...it is unfortunate that this huge corp is buying a nice local brokerage, BUT even though your getting a great brand, it all comes down to the individual agent, no matter who they work for, if they are good at what they do doesn't really matter what company they are with..truely, I have worked for Prudential, Coldwell, and have been w/a small independent broker for over 4 years, I like the little guy much better! More personal and better knowledge of our nitch market in Menlo. cheers to Cashin for "Cashin in" but will miss them..

It isn't the same "personal" service when buying from a conglomerate.
Bye bye to a real community-based organization. Hello Big Corporate.
