Our Schmidt family story. Schmidt Family of Companies is the parent to its Coldwell Banker franchise. We are a fifth generation, full-service brokerage firm founded in 1927 specializing in residential, luxury and commercial real estate, property management, mortgage and title services. H. F. Schmidt Real Estate, as the firm was originally known, was based on the principles of honesty, integrity, and an unwavering commitment to outstanding service. Harold Schmidt’s adherence to these standards of excellence earned him the trust and confidence of his clients, building a solid foundation for what was to become one of the most respected and largest real estate brokerage firms in the Midwest. Harold’s son, Joseph Schmidt, joined the company in 1946 and under his leadership the company experienced unparalleled growth. His sons Fred and Ken entered the company in 1962 and 1968, respectively. Today, Ken Schmidt is the CEO of the firm, Mike Schmidt is President, Tom Gray is the COO, and Steve Bell is CFO. The firm joined Coldwell Banker Corporation as a franchisee in 1983. Our Coldwell Banker franchise is the largest in the Coldwell Banker network based on the number of offices and 3rd based on units sold. Coldwell Banker Commercial named us the number one affiliate in North America.

A culture of caring. We’re proud to say that Coldwell Banker® agents and offices leave their mark on their communities in incredibly positive ways. Our charitable initiatives make it easy and rewarding to get involved. In 2019, Ken and Mike Schmidt founded the Schmidt Community Fund — a place where we can all give to those that need it so much. Our guiding philosophy is to invest in our youth, programs and initiatives in the communities in which we all live and serve that further the lifework of the Schmidt Family and the purpose of the Schmidt Community Fund, where together, we can do more. Because we believe that everyone deserves a home of their own, Coldwell Banker® founded the Homes for Dogs Project in 2015, in partnership with AdoptAPet.com. The project uses national advertising, social media, and local adoption events to generate awareness and bring pets and people together. Our agents and staff have gone above and beyond in embracing the initiative, with many volunteering their time, taking to social media, and hosting local adoption events. The Homes for Dogs Project has become a powerful way for agents to connect with their communities and has led to tens of thousands of adoptions — an accomplishment that we’re extremely proud of.
