In 2025, Pauline Bennett strengthened Coldwell Banker Realty’s Northeast Region for both immediate success and long-term growth, delivering strong performance amid a challenging market. Under her leadership, the region achieved 8.4% revenue growth, closed more than 30,000 transactions and surpassed $20 billion in sales volume—representing 9% growth year over year—while generating market share gains across New England and New York City. High-end performance also surged, with more than 5,000 transactions over $1 million and approximately 15% growth in luxury home sales.
Bennett oversees more than 6,000 affiliated agents across 83 offices and led exceptional recruiting and retention efforts in 2025, driving organic growth of 1,275%. She also expanded the scope and responsibilities of half of the region’s management team, building a stronger leadership bench to support future scale, efficiency and innovation. Equally committed to community impact, Bennett champions charitable initiatives through the Coldwell Banker Cares Foundation, which raised approximately $250,000 for charitable organizations year-to-date in 2025.
“Whether it’s an agent sending me a note that they just purchased a vacation home thanks to the success they’ve achieved based on our conversations, or watching employees thrive in taking on new responsibilities and scope in their careers, it is watching people rise to their true capabilities that brings me the most joy,” says Bennett.
