Duff Rubin

Duff Rubin’s leadership in 2025 has been defined by structural innovation and record-breaking growth across the Southeast. A major milestone this year was the pilot integration of Sunbelt Title sales teams directly into Coldwell Banker Realty’s Florida brokerage operations. This move aligns leadership and streamlines the transaction lifecycle, moving toward a seamless, end-to-end experience for both agents and consumers. Under Rubin’s oversight, the Longboat Key office in Sarasota—the region’s top-producing Gulf Coast location—demonstrated immense resilience by surpassing $1 billion in gross sales by August 2025, marking its fastest pace on record despite significant weather-related disruptions in late 2024.

With over 25 years of experience, Rubin oversees more than 12,500 real estate professionals across 112 offices. His commitment to high-end market expansion was further realized in early 2025 with the grand opening of Atlanta’s first-ever Coldwell Banker Realty Global Luxury office. A frequent industry voice, Rubin recently shared his expertise on agent retention and recruitment at the RISMedia CEO & Leadership Exchange.

“Because I am an agent at heart, I have never forgotten what agents are looking for in terms of support with their careers,” Rubin says. “Agents are the backbone of our brand. I love being out in the field and make it a point to visit offices every week. It helps me stay connected to what agents want and need.” His associate-centric vision continues to drive measurable success and operational excellence throughout the Southeast.
