As COO, Stephen Meadows spent 2025 advancing Coldwell Banker Premier’s growth strategy by launching innovative systems designed to expand agent opportunity, increase revenue and modernize brokerage operations. A key initiative was the creation and training of a new AI incubation tool focused on converting rental leads into potential buyers—significantly improving conversion rates and helping agents unlock new paths to homeownership for their clients.
Meadows also designed and launched a new Business Development division centered on life-event marketing and enterprise-level partnerships, created through a strategic acquisition in Florida. This division delivers scalable, relationship-driven business directly to agents, reinforcing the company’s commitment to long-term, sustainable growth. In addition, he built a system enabling referral agents to generate greater passive income by activating their spheres of influence for structured referral farming—providing continued value even as agents transition out of production.
Describing M&A as where his passion lies, 2025 saw Meadows complete his tenth merger or acquisition for the company in the last five years. “I love thinking of new ways to drive revenue and provide new tools to the agents,” he says. “We are a growth-oriented company and I am always looking down the road for the best opportunities.”
