Coldwell Banker expands with Richter

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage acquired the assets of the three Richter Real Estate Inc. offices that do business as Century 21 Richter in Fairfield, Stratford, and Trumbull.

Both the Coldwell Banker and Century 21 brands are operated or franchised by Realogy Corp. and its subsidiary NRT L.L.C., with Parsippany, N.J.-based Realogy also controlling Cartus Corp., a relocation advisory company based in Danbury.

The some 80 sales associates at Century 21 Richter will now be based in Coldwell Banker offices in Fairfield and Trumbull. Coldwell Banker has about 50 offices in Fairfield County and Westchester County, N.Y., and 2,100 sales associates covering the region.

“This latest acquisition strengthens our overall presence in Connecticut and reinforces our position as a leading real estate firm in Fairfield County,” said Cathleen Smith, president of Coldwell Banker’s local operations, in a prepared statement.  “Starting with Eugene Richter and continued by his sons, Robert and Paul, the Richters have built a stellar reputation for providing excellent service.”
