               Identity Requirements: Introduction

The Coldwell Banker service marks, trademarks and logo types are collectively called the “Coldwell Banker Marks” throughout this Manual.
The Coldwell Banker Marks serve as the basic building blocks for universal acceptance and identification for a single international graphic identity.

The most important element of the Coldwell Banker System, symbolic of our premier reputation and image, is the corporate mark (herein called
the “Corporate Mark”, “Trademark” or the “Mark”). It and all other Coldwell Banker Marks in the United States are owned by TM Acquisitions Corp.,
a subsidiary of Realogy Corporation which, in turn, licenses these Trademarks to Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC
owns all Trademark registrations in countries other than the United States. Each Franchisee is authorized to use the Coldwell Banker Marks pursuant
to their Franchise Agreements. Franchisees who have not been licensed the rights to use the Coldwell Banker Commercial® Marks may not use them.
Every company granted permission to use the Trademark is required to protect it by adhering to the standards and regulations delineated in this Manual.
Care in protecting the Trademark and all of the Coldwell Banker Marks work to the benefit of everyone.

Exact and correct use of the Trademark by Coldwell Banker Franchisees is crucial to maintain a powerful international graphic entity. This Identity
and Graphic Standards Manual is part of the Policy and Procedures Manual. Also, Franchisees who executed their Franchise Agreements prior to
January 1, 1999, and who executed the Commercial Addendum or a separate Coldwell Banker Commercial® Real Estate Franchise Agreement,
should refer to the Commercial Identity Standards Manual for commercial brokerage applications.

The standards throughout this Manual must be adhered to without variation. Forms for ordering materials from Preferred and Approved Suppliers have
been provided in a separate Coldwell Banker SourceBook. You are encouraged to use these Preferred and Approved Suppliers for all your materials
(including stationery, business cards, yard signs, telephone directory listings, etc.). They are familiar with the standards for using the Trademarks and
will afford you optimum purchasing efficiencies.




               Creative Requirements: Introduction

To reinforce the voice and image of the Coldwell Banker brand, creative guidelines have been provided for your reference.

As you will find, these guidelines address the use of various creative elements such as color, typography, imagery and copy for both printed
and digital materials.




                                                                                                                                                             1

                  Identity Requirements: Trademark

The Corporate Mark is the primary Coldwell Banker ® Mark. It must be used exactly as
indicated in this Identity Standards Manual.

The Coldwell Banker Mark is authorized for use with your approved company tradename
(called “your company tradename” or “DBA”) as described on building signs, yard signs,
stationery, business cards, classified advertising, personal promotion literature and all other
advertising materials and external communications.

The Mark consists of a rectangular field with the words “Coldwell Banker” in white letters, in a custom-designed type style stacked on two lines and the Coldwell
Banker “bug” design.

Note: The Mark always appears in blue on signage and stationery.

It is essential the correct color of blue be used. The color blue is always the same (PMS 280 or the appropriate CMYK match – 100% Cyan; 72% Magenta;
0% Yellow; 18% Black). The shape, or aspect ratio (the relationship of height to width) of the blue field is always the same. The size, spacing and
placement of the words “Coldwell Banker” and the Coldwell Banker “bug” design are always in the same relationship within the blue field. The color, the aspect
ratio of the Mark and the relationships within the Mark shall not be altered regardless of the application or the size of the Mark within the application.

It is the uniqueness of each of these elements and the way they have been assembled into a unit that give the Coldwell Banker Corporate Mark
its distinctive character.

In virtually all applications a minimum of two grid units of white space surrounds the blue field of the Mark and shall always be maintained.

The letters “CB” or the Coldwell Banker “bug” design shall never be used outside of the Mark, as the letters “CB” are the Trademark of another company.

Advertising of any property or services, which is not within the definition of the Business, as that term is defined in the Franchise Agreement, is not
permitted with the use of any of the Coldwell Banker Marks or the Coldwell Banker name. The advertising or general solicitation of certain kinds
of commercial business is specifically prohibited. However, Franchisees who have been licensed the Coldwell Banker Commercial® Marks should
refer to the Coldwell Banker Commercial Identity Standards Manual for further information.

Formatting
Trademark Use with Your Company Tradename: The Coldwell Banker Trademark is never to be used alone without your company tradename. Your company
tradename should be centered directly under the logo with a rule underneath as shown.Your company tradename or “doing business as” name (often referred
to as a “DBA”) is always typeset in Berkeley Oldstyle Bold in all caps. Times New Roman Bold may be substituted if Berkeley Oldstyle Bold is not available. The
length of each line cannot exceed the width of the logo, and the complete company tradename cannot be more than three lines.Many common items such as
stationery, yard signs and personal promotion literature can only be purchased with company-specific, imprinted information. Certain other items such as postcards,
mailers or ad shells must be self-imprinted by the user. When utilizing brochures or preprinted presentation materials that offer a die cut feature for insertion of a
business card, you must avail yourself of this feature to ensure that your company tradename is displayed in the document.

Your company tradename or DBA must be pre-approved by Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, should provide clear identity and should never
cause confusion with other offices or firms, or imply national scope. For example:
n   National Real Estate, Colorado Realty or United States Real Estate Associates would be inappropriate and confusing when used as
    your company tradename along with the Coldwell Banker Trademark.
n   Depending on the item, the full or Minimum Required Disclaimer line must always appear in upper and lower case Helvetica Regular type
    style each time your company tradename appears in conjunction with the Coldwell Banker name or the Corporate Mark.
n   Outside of the United States it is suggested that your company tradename or DBA should always include the words “Real Estate” or “Realty.”

For exterior building signs a 60/40 format is authorized. The top 60% contains the Coldwell Banker name in white reversed out of a
blue field, and the bottom 40% contains your company tradename in white upper case Berkeley Oldstyle Black letters custom cut out
of a blue field and centered under the Mark in one, two or three lines. The point size of the letters in your company tradename are to
be no higher than 60% of the height of the letters in the Coldwell Banker name, except for one-word names that are less than eight
characters, whereby a maximum of 70% is allowed. The Minimum Required Disclaimer is in black, upper and lower case Helvetica centered
under the lower blue field. This format is to be used only on outside building signs, and must always be maintained in that application.

For all other applications a 50/50 format must be maintained. The top half contains the Coldwell Banker logo in PMS 280 and the
Coldwell Banker “bug” design in white as illustrated. The bottom half contains your company tradename in black upper case Berkeley
Oldstyle Bold letters with a ruled black line (the width of the blue field in the logo) underneath. The letters in your company tradename or
DBA can be equal to, but not greater than, the point size of the letters in the Coldwell Banker name whenever possible. The Minimum
Required Disclaimer must be printed in black, upper and lower case Helvetica.


                                                                                                                                                                               4

                 Identity Requirements: Trademark

No slogans, symbols, marks or words other than your company tradename or DBA (except a phone number or photograph on yard signs)
are permitted within these prescribed formats.

The use of the Coldwell Banker ® name or Mark is not permitted on checks or purchase orders without the Minimum Required Disclaimer.
The 50/50 format must be maintained.

To present a consistent and unified image for our company, we have provided guidelines to follow when using the Coldwell Banker name in
body copy intended for external use.

The Coldwell Banker Trademark must be set in all caps or boldface when used as an adjective to modify a noun. Do not use ALL CAPS or
boldface when referring to Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, or in combination with your name or DBA (Coldwell Banker Smith & Smith Realty).

The following examples demonstrate the correct use of our name in copy:

n   Our impressive reputation makes the COLDWELL BANKER® brand a premier real estate system.

Proper Trademark Notations and Use
Many of the products, services and programs offered by Coldwell Banker companies are identified by our Trademarks. When a Trademark
identifies a program, the appropriate symbol should be used immediately after the program’s name or design. Listed below are instructions for using different
Trademarks, as well as the appropriate symbol for each:

Trademark: Any word, name, design, device or any combination thereof, adopted and used by the manufacturer or merchant
to identify its goods and distinguish them from those manufactured or sold by others. Any Trademark that is not registered should be followed by the
TM symbol.

Registered Trademark: This is a Trademark that has become the subject of a United States Patent and Trademark Office registration.
These are the only Trademarks that can be followed by the ® symbol.

Service Mark: Any word, name, design, device or any combination thereof, adopted and used in the sale or advertising
of services provided by a business to identify its services and distinguish them from those of others. Any service mark that is not registered should be followed
by the SM symbol.

Registered Service Mark: This is a service mark that has become the subject of a United States Patent and Trademark Office registration.
These are the only service marks that can be followed by the ® symbol.

Copyright: The exclusive right granted by the United States government to the author or other owner of a work, investing the author
or other owner for a specific period of time with the sole and exclusive privilege of publishing or distributing that work. Among the most
common items subject to copyright in the business world are video, audio and written advertising and promotional materials, individual
graphic designs, photographs, brochures, bulletins and flyers, manuals, books and computer software. The © symbol is used for copyrighted materials.

Use of the Coldwell Banker Registered Mark: If the Coldwell Banker Mark is used in the headline of a piece, the registered
symbol ® must be used the first time the name appears. The registered symbol should also be used the first time Coldwell Banker
appears in the subhead or the body copy of that piece. The maximum number of times the registered symbol should appear next to Coldwell Banker on a given
page is two.

n   If Coldwell Banker is not used in the headline, the registered symbol must be used the first time Coldwell Banker appears in the subhead and next to the
    first mention in body copy on the page.
n   If Coldwell Banker is not used in the headline or subhead, the registered symbol only needs to appear next to Coldwell Banker
    the first time it is mentioned in the body copy of a page. This is the only situation when two Coldwell Banker registered marks
    are not necessary.



                                                                                                                                                                    5

Failure to use a service mark in the correct manner may lead to the loss of its status as a protected mark. If you use the same mark more
than once in a promotional piece, you need to use the appropriate symbol only at the first mention, on each page, except as noted in this guide.
Please note that the ® symbol should only be used for registered marks, and then only for those goods or services for which the mark is registered.

             Identity Requirements: Reproduction of the Mark

Logo Specifications
The Coldwell Banker ® logo shall always be reproduced photographically from a high-quality, reproduction proof designed for that purpose. It shall
never be drawn freehand. Downloadable versions of approved Coldwell Banker logos can be accessed at coldwellbankerworks.com.
For large-scale reproductions of the Coldwell Banker logo (such as office building signs), strict adherence to proportionally sized enlargements is
required. The blue field must maintain a 1.0 to 2.3928 ratio of height to width.

The scaling grid below provides the correct space relationships for all elements of the Mark. This scaling grid should be used as a guide
for scaling the Mark up or down in size and for verifying the correctness of reproductions.

In general, a minimum of two (2) grid units of space or air shall be maintained around all four sides of the Mark except when specifically
noted otherwise in this Identity Standards Manual.

When the Mark is used against a tinted background, a margin of white space (a minimum of two grid units) is required around all four sides.
No copy or graphic element shall be contained within this space.




                                                                                Aspect Ratio

                                                                         28     The correctness of the aspect ratio may be verified by measuring the

                          Identity Requirements: Reproduction of the Mark

Color Specifications
It is always preferable to show the Coldwell Banker ® Mark in blue, and always in the correct shade of blue. For Coldwell Banker Blue, generally
PANTONE®* or PMS 280 will be specified.

Four-Color Process Printing: When specifying four-color printed work (i.e., advertising or brochures, etc.), it may be desirable, for cost reasons, to use
standard CMYK process colors rather than a matched Coldwell Banker Blue for the Mark. When printing on enamel or
uncoated/coated paper stocks, Coldwell Banker Blue can be approximated by specifying 100% Cyan; 72% Magenta; 0% Yellow; and 18% black.
The Coldwell Banker Blue color shall always be matched as closely as possible.

When specifying Coldwell Banker Blue for applications other than print, an acceptable match may be obtained by following these
specifications when ordering:

Paint: Specify that paint be mixed to match PANTONE or PMS 280 precisely.

Plastic Signage: Specify Lexan with 3M®** #3630-8544, vinyl applied, second surface.

3M® Film: Specify 3M film #3630-8544 for production of building signs that are externally illuminated, as well as signs that are illuminated from the inside.

On a very limited basis, when the use of the color gold is permitted (specialty items, the Chairman’s Circle logo, etc.) specify PANTONE 8640 or gold foil.
For the Coldwell Banker Concierge® Mark, specify PANTONE 874 or 1255. In those applications where rules (i.e., flying borders) are a part of the format, they
shall appear in the color in which the Mark appears.

Specialty Items Printing: When printing on fabric, leather or vinyl products, the words “Coldwell Banker” should be in white
against a printed Coldwell Banker Blue or black background, or the words in gold against a blue background. The words in blue against a blue
background are permitted, but not recommended.

When manufacturing Awards and Recognition Products or Promotional items***, the words “Coldwell Banker” may be printed in white letters
against a blue or clear glass background, gold against a black or gold background, clear glass against a white background, black against a
gold background or blue against a gold background. It is not necessary to include the black rule and minimum required disclaimer on these types of items.




The correct color for the Coldwell Banker Mark is PMS 280 or the appropriate CMYK match – 100% Cyan; 72% Magenta; 0% Yellow; and 18% Black.

Note: The color blue shown on this page and throughout this guide is not intended to match the PANTONE Color Standard.
Note: For the PANTONE Color Standard, refer to the current editions of the PANTONE Color Publications.




*PANTONE® is a registered Trademark of PANTONE, Inc.
**3M® is a registered Trademark of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company.
***When manufacturing specialty items printed on paper products, the Corporate Mark should always be in the correct color blue, PMS 280.

Embossing Specifications
The Coldwell Banker ® Mark also may be reproduced through a printing process known as embossing, where the words “Coldwell Banker”
are raised in relief from the surface of the paper or fabric.
Two types of embossed Marks are acceptable. The first has the words “Coldwell Banker” in raised relief letters against a printed field which
defines the background of the Mark (illustration #1). The second has the words “Coldwell Banker” in raised relief letters against the field, using
an embossed frame to define the field of the Mark. The lines that make up the frame are one grid unit in width. No ink is used. This is called
a Blind Emboss (Illustration #2).
In either instance, the words “Coldwell Banker” are raised from the surface of the paper or fabric. When the background field is printed in
Coldwell Banker Blue, a one-level die is used. When embossing is blind, a two-level die is used with the frame being raised from the paper’s
surface, but one half the depth or distance as that of the words “Coldwell Banker” (Illustration #3).

                               67




The Mark shall be reproduced photographically in making the embossing dies. The size of the words “Coldwell Banker,” their placement and the spacing
in relationship to the background field or the frame that defines the field shall be consistent with all Mark specifications. The aspect ratio (height to width)
of the blue field to the outside of the frame shall be 1.0 to 2.3928.

The size of the embossed Mark shall be sufficient to enable the embossing to be crisp and sharp and the words legible. The prescribed space (generally
two grid units) shall be maintained around all four sides of the Mark whether or not the field is printed in color or is defined by an embossed frame.

When embossing the Mark, the words “Coldwell Banker” and the
                                                                                                            “Coldwell Banker”

    Equal Housing Opportunity Slogan, Logo and Statement Specifications
    Please note that all advertising for the sale, rental or financing of residential real estate should contain the Equal Housing slogan, logo or statement.**
    These indicate to the public that the property is available to anyone, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, handicap or national origin.

    To convey a clear message of Equal Housing Opportunity and to ensure compliance with the law, the slogan, logo or statement must be included in
    all advertising and marketing materials, brochures, billboards, etc. The slogan, logo or statement should also be used in all materials promoting and
    announcing the achievements of an individual Sales Associate or Coldwell Banker office.

    Slogan: Equal Housing Opportunity.
    The slogan is used in ads under four column inches. The slogan may never be abbreviated to EHO. Ads under four column inches are not required to use the slogan
    if they are grouped with other ads under a Publisher’s notice, as in the classified section of your newspaper. This also applies for use in Buyer’s Guides.

    Logo: House Symbol
    The logo consists of the symbol and the slogan. The symbol may not be used alone.
    The logo is used in ads of four column inches or more. The logo should be clearly visible and legible. When other logos are used in display ads, federal
    regulations suggest that the Equal Housing Opportunity logo be of a size at least equal to the largest of the other logos.

    Federal Regulations: Regulations suggest the following guidelines for including the logo in ads of four column inches or more:
    Size of Ad                                            Size of Logo
    1/2 page or larger                                    2” x 2”
    1/8 page to 1/2 page                                  1” x 1”
    4 column inches to 1/8 page                           .5” x .5”
    The full Equal Housing Opportunity statement should read as follows: An Equal Opportunity Company                       . Equal Housing Opportunity.
**Franchisees outside of the U.S. are not required to use the slogan or logo.                                                                                                    12

Positioning Statement and Style Guidelines
Refer to the statement below when creating advertising materials. Our goal is to convey a uniform brand image by conveying this philosophy in all of our com-
munications.

Always the New Way: Coldwell Banker® is the oldest national real estate organization in the United                       States, and the first to introduce a number of
innovative online tools. So it makes sense that Coldwell Banker would be the first to recognize that                     a new breed of home buyers and sellers wants
to be empowered and is therefore pioneering a “New Way” that blends innovation and tradition.                            Coldwell Banker offers the most sophisticated,
user-friendly online tools, and when you’re ready for real world, local expertise, their network of top                  brokers and Sales Associates are ready to fully
support you.

It’s the New Way from a company that’s been innovating for more than 100 years.

Style Guidelines: One word or two? Coldwell Banker ascribes to guidelines outlined in Elements of Style and the industry-specific usage below to
determine whether two words become one, are hyphenated or remain two separate words:
n     HomeBuyer when describing Coldwell Banker Buyer Services products or elements (i.e., HomeBuyer Guidebook).
n     Home buyer
n     Home seller
n     Homeowner
n     Homeownership
n     Downpayment

Sell a house, buy a home: Example headlines:
Thinking of selling your house?
Thinking of buying a home?

Sales Associates or Agents: We prefer to use the words Sales Associates, not agents. However, in Canada, the term Sales Representative is more
appropriate. The words “Sales Associates” or “Sales Representatives” should always be in initial caps.

Open House: The words “Open House” should always be in initial caps.

Correct Style for REALTOR®: The following guidelines have been established by the NAR. For more information, please see the NAR Membership Marks Manual.
The ® symbol should always follow the word “REALTOR or REALTORS” when used in the name of a company, such as Golden State, REALTORS.®
A comma should always precede these words in a company name. A real estate company can use these marks in its name only if it is a member of NAR and
subscribes to its Code of Ethics.
If REALTOR is used in ad copy, the ® symbol should be used when REALTOR follows a person’s name. According to AP style, a ® should not be used after
REALTOR when it follows a person’s name in body copy. In all usages, the first letter “R” of REALTOR is uppercase. This upper/lowercase style is preferred by
Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. However, if the ® symbol is not available in your software, use the all-capital form, REALTOR.
When the terms REALTOR, REALTORS and REALTOR-Associate are used in pamphlets, newsletters or other written text, the ® symbol should be used in connec-
tion with each appearance, to the extent it is practical.

The following definition should appear at the bottom of the page on which the term REALTOR or REALTORS, as the case might be, is first used:
REALTOR is a federally registered collective membership mark that identifies a real estate professional who is a member of the National Association of
REALTORS and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics.




The National Association of REALTORS is the owner of the registered trademarks, REALTOR® and REALTORS®, respectively.
                                                                                                                                                                           13
c o l d w e l l b a n k e r w o r k s . c o m




               Identity Requirements: Advertising

Other Guidelines:
n   Use the terms Realtor or Realtors in connection with, rather than as part of, your firm name. It’s “John Doe, Inc., Realtor,” not “John Doe, Realtor, Inc.”
n   Punctuation should be used to separate your firm name from the words “Realtor” or “Realtors,” even when they appear on separate lines:
    For example: John Jones and Company, Realtor
n   Use nonmember, instead of non-Realtor, when referring to a real estate broker who is not a member of NAR
n   When speaking of more than one member, use Realtors
n   Avoid possessives whenever possible. But if you can’t, use Realtor’s (singular possessive) or Realtors’ (plural possessive)
n   While Realtor-Associate® is acceptable, it is unacceptable to combine the term “Realtor” or the registered mark with other terms. It is also
    unacceptable to hyphenate (Real-tor), abbreviate (Rltr) or expand (Realtorific)
n   Do not use descriptive words to modify the term, such as Professional Realtor, Commercial Realtor or Twin Cities Realtor



Style Guidelines
To present a consistent and unified image for the Coldwell Banker ® System, we provided guidelines to follow when using the Coldwell Banker name in body copy.
The following examples demonstrate the correct use of the brand name in the body copy:
Never use the possessive form of Coldwell Banker (i.e., Coldwell Banker’s). The Coldwell Banker name must always be set in all caps or boldface when you are
referring to the brand, or when you do not use your DBA.

Below is an example demonstrating the correct use of the franchisor’s name is body copy:
n   Consumers turn to affiliates of Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC to make buying or selling a home simple
n   Our impressive reputation makes the COLDWELL BANKER® System a premier real estate brand
n   Our impressive reputation makes the Coldwell Banker ® System a premier real estate brand

When you use Coldwell Banker with your company tradename, do not place any punctuation between Coldwell Banker and the name/market, and do
not cap or boldface the “Coldwell Banker” name. The following example demonstrates the proper use of Coldwell Banker with a company tradename:
n   Coldwell Banker Smith & Smith Realty has highly trained Sales Associates

Signature Placement: Consistent placement of the Coldwell Banker ® signature will enhance the brand. As such, always place the
Coldwell Banker signature in the bottom right corner of printed materials for consistency and recognition.

In addition to placement, the signature must remain consistent in its appearance. As such, it may never be altered in shape, size and spacing in
relation to other elements.

                         Identity Requirements: Coldwell Banker Concierge® Service Program

 Coldwell Banker Concierge® Service Program Color Specifications
 It is always preferable to show the mark in color, as it was designed to be used in a two-color format. “Coldwell Banker®” should always be
 printed in PANTONE ®* 280. Where possible, “Concierge” and the ® symbol should be printed in PANTONE 874 Metallic. When metallic ink
 is not available, use PANTONE 1255.

 Four-Color Process Printing: When printing in a four-color process, based on the standard CMYK process colors, PANTONE 280 blue can be
 approximated by specifying 100% Cyan; 72% Magenta; 0% Yellow; and 18% black. PANTONE 1255 bronze can be approximated by specifying
 0% Cyan; 27% Magenta; 100% Yellow; and 34% Black.

 Paint: Specify that paint be mixed to match PANTONE 280 blue and PANTONE 1255 bronze precisely.

 One-Color Printing: When printing in one-color, for print media or internal documents, the logo can be printed in 100% black.

 Shooting Art: The logo art on this page is camera-ready. If you require a different size, have your publication or printer reduce or enlarge the mark. Whenever
 possible, use a two-color format printed in PANTONE 280 for “Coldwell Banker” and PANTONE 874 for “Concierge®.”

 Note: Two-color process: PANTONE 874 Metallic or PANTONE 1255.

 Coldwell Banker Concierge Service Program Graphic Treatment Specifications
 The Coldwell Banker Concierge Service Program graphic treatment must be used exactly as indicated in these guidelines. It is the uniqueness
 of each element, and the way it has been assembled into a unit, that gives the treatment its distinctive character.

 The correct Coldwell Banker Concierge Service Program graphic treatment consists of “Coldwell Banker” in blue, with the word “Concierge” and
 the ® in bronze. Each element is positioned within a white rectangular box, angled at 10°, with a bronze border and a black drop shadow.

 The relationship of height to width of the graphic treatment is always the same. The size, spacing and placement of “Coldwell Banker ” and
 “Concierge” within the border are always the same. The colors and relationships shall not be altered regardless of the application or the size
 of the treatment within the application.

 Reproduction: The Coldwell Banker Concierge Service Program graphic treatment shall always be reproduced photographically from a
 high-quality, reproduction proof, an approved computer disk or film designed for that purpose. It shall never be drawn freehand or recreated
 via any computer graphics programs. Do not reverse the treatment out of a colored background.

 Size: To protect visual clarity, the treatment should never be reproduced smaller than 1.25” in width.

                       Creative Requirements: Coldwell Banker Concierge® Service Program

Coldwell Banker Concierge® Service Program Logo
The Coldwell Banker Concierge Service Program logo is the single most important statement that Coldwell Banker Concierge Service Program
makes to consumers, vendors and agents. It is the signature, the official stamp, and the face of the program. It also allows for the latest identification
of the Coldwell Banker Concierge Service Program. For these reasons, it is imperative that the logo be treated with care and respect.

The following are graphic guidelines for the application of the Coldwell Banker Concierge Service Program logo. This includes instructions on correct
usage of the logo, name usage, color system and typography. These elements are critical to the Coldwell Banker Concierge program identity. Therefore,
correct and consistent applications are essential. Conversely, inconsistent use jeopardizes our legal right to exclusive use of the Trademark.

The Coldwell Banker Concierge Service Program Name Usage: When referring to the Coldwell Banker Concierge Service Program in written
text, the service must always be titled “Coldwell Banker Concierge® Service Program.” Shortened versions are not acceptable. Correct usage in text is,
Coldwell Banker Concierge® Service Program, for the first time mentioned on each page of the document. All subsequent uses in the same document
should reflect “Coldwell Banker Concierge” as bolded and “Service Program” as unbolded.

The Coldwell Banker Concierge Service Program Color System: The colors of the Coldwell Banker Concierge Service Program are blue and gold. The
blue matches the Coldwell Banker ® Trademark while the gold symbolizes a high standard of quality and service. There may be some instances it is
recommended that light blue and black be used to compliment the primary palette. To guide the use of colors, please adhere to these simple rules:

               Identity Requirements: Personal Promotions

The Coldwell Banker ® image is a powerful and positive one, and it can be a vital ingredient in the personal promotion and marketing
efforts of Sales Associates. One reason for the effectiveness of the Coldwell Banker brand name is its consistent and appropriate usage
throughout the Coldwell Banker System.

The following “Personal Promotion Requirements” address additional questions Sales Associates frequently ask as they incorporate the
Coldwell Banker identity into their personal promotion marketing materials. By following these guidelines, you reinforce the effectiveness
of the Coldwell Banker brand name and enhance your personal promotion efforts.

Personal Promotion Required Use of Disclaimers: Sales Associates who create and utilize personal promotion literature must incorporate
the Minimum Required Disclaimer, as shown in this guide, in their literature.

The Coldwell Banker Personal Promotion Requirements: The Coldwell Banker name and reputation are the most valuable in the real estate
industry and are vital to the professional identity of our affiliates. It is essential for that identity to be preserved in all materials presented to potential
customers, including materials created by Sales Associates as part of their personal promotion campaigns. To help maintain the Coldwell Banker
identity, Sales Associates who use personal promotion materials must follow these guidelines:

1.   The Coldwell Banker Mark, associated Trademarks and service marks are always to be used according to the specification in this guide.
2.   The Coldwell Banker Mark, (or, for Previews® Property Specialist designation, the approved Coldwell Banker Previews International® logo) must
     always appear on personal promotion literature in a prominent location and size. Affiliates must also include their complete company tradename,
     regardless of whether they are utilizing the Coldwell Banker or the Coldwell Banker Previews International Mark. In the case of the
     Previews Mark, the complete company tradename need not appear in close proximity to the Mark itself.
3.   A personal mark (i.e., individual Sales Associate logo, stylized name treatment, personal slogan or tag line) should not be used in close proximity
     to the Coldwell Banker Mark or other approved Coldwell Banker identifier; each must stand alone. In no case is the Coldwell Banker Mark
     or other approved Coldwell Banker identifier to be incorporated into the design or wording of a personal mark.
4.   A personal mark is not to be used in a way that might confuse and mislead the public regarding the identity of the Responsible Broker. Local laws and
     regulations prescribing the relationship of Broker and Sales Associate identification must be followed.
5.   The Sales Associate should identify the source for any claims (e.g., #1 in Sales) in a footnote within the ad and be prepared to substantiate
     the claim with underlying data. Promised services must always fall within the approved bundle of Coldwell Banker services; no service may
     be offered outside this menu without prior approval by Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC.
6.   Use of a personal mark may risk claims of Trademark infringement by third parties, and a Sales Associate contemplating use of a personal
     mark should first obtain a Trademark search (at his or her expense) to ascertain availability of the mark. The Sales Associate assumes full risk
     for such claims, and he or she must inform Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC immediately of any such claim of infringement and must indemnify
     Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC in connection with such claims.
7.   Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC reserves the right of prior approval of personal marks (including service and performance claims)
     as well as the materials in which they are used.

Note: Some state laws require the type or size or prominence of the Sales Associate’s name in advertising must be smaller than that type of
the office name. In those states, franchisees should work with their Affiliate Service Manager and approved suppliers to adopt the specifications
related to the size of these two elements in order to comply with those laws.




                                                                                                                                                               24

                Creative Requirements: Personal Promotions

Through personal promotions, you will quickly establish yourself (and be recognized) as your community’s local real estate expert.

When creating your Coldwell Banker ® personal promotion you must adhere to the following guidelines:
n   Ensure the Minimum Required Disclaimer is featured
n   Maintain proper usage of all Trademarks, service marks, typography and color specifications as depicted in the Legal Requirements Section
n   Do not encroach the Coldwell Banker Mark with personal marks
n   Be prepared to “footnote” sources when appropriate
n   Check with your Affiliate Service Manager and suppliers to comply with state laws and regulations before producing any materials

As a Coldwell Banker Sales Associate, you will find personal promotions are a wonderful way to create long-lasting relationships with prospects
and current customers.




                                                                                                                                                  25

  • 3. c o l d w e l l b a n k e r w o r k s . c o m Identity and Creative Standards: Overview The purpose of this guide is to provide you with standards for maintaining the integrity and consistency of the Coldwell Banker ® brand across all communications both legally and creatively. If a situation should arise that requires any departure from the standards in this guide, or you need further clarification on any subject, please contact your Regional Office at the following: n Northern: 1-877-373-3829 n Southern: 1-800-998-7044 n Western: 1-800-767-2488 Outside of the United States, contact the International Services Director at the Corporate Office. Identity Requirements: Introduction The Coldwell Banker service marks, trademarks and logo types are collectively called the “Coldwell Banker Marks” throughout this Manual. The Coldwell Banker Marks serve as the basic building blocks for universal acceptance and identification for a single international graphic identity. The most important element of the Coldwell Banker System, symbolic of our premier reputation and image, is the corporate mark (herein called the “Corporate Mark”, “Trademark” or the “Mark”). It and all other Coldwell Banker Marks in the United States are owned by TM Acquisitions Corp., a subsidiary of Realogy Corporation which, in turn, licenses these Trademarks to Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC owns all Trademark registrations in countries other than the United States. Each Franchisee is authorized to use the Coldwell Banker Marks pursuant to their Franchise Agreements. Franchisees who have not been licensed the rights to use the Coldwell Banker Commercial® Marks may not use them. Every company granted permission to use the Trademark is required to protect it by adhering to the standards and regulations delineated in this Manual. Care in protecting the Trademark and all of the Coldwell Banker Marks work to the benefit of everyone. Exact and correct use of the Trademark by Coldwell Banker Franchisees is crucial to maintain a powerful international graphic entity. This Identity and Graphic Standards Manual is part of the Policy and Procedures Manual. Also, Franchisees who executed their Franchise Agreements prior to January 1, 1999, and who executed the Commercial Addendum or a separate Coldwell Banker Commercial® Real Estate Franchise Agreement, should refer to the Commercial Identity Standards Manual for commercial brokerage applications. The standards throughout this Manual must be adhered to without variation. Forms for ordering materials from Preferred and Approved Suppliers have been provided in a separate Coldwell Banker SourceBook. You are encouraged to use these Preferred and Approved Suppliers for all your materials (including stationery, business cards, yard signs, telephone directory listings, etc.). They are familiar with the standards for using the Trademarks and will afford you optimum purchasing efficiencies. Creative Requirements: Introduction To reinforce the voice and image of the Coldwell Banker brand, creative guidelines have been provided for your reference. As you will find, these guidelines address the use of various creative elements such as color, typography, imagery and copy for both printed and digital materials. 1
  • 4. c o l d w e l l b a n k e r w o r k s . c o m Identity Requirements: Trademark The Corporate Mark is the primary Coldwell Banker ® Mark. It must be used exactly as indicated in this Identity Standards Manual. The Coldwell Banker Mark is authorized for use with your approved company tradename (called “your company tradename” or “DBA”) as described on building signs, yard signs, stationery, business cards, classified advertising, personal promotion literature and all other advertising materials and external communications. The Mark consists of a rectangular field with the words “Coldwell Banker” in white letters, in a custom-designed type style stacked on two lines and the Coldwell Banker “bug” design. Note: The Mark always appears in blue on signage and stationery. It is essential the correct color of blue be used. The color blue is always the same (PMS 280 or the appropriate CMYK match – 100% Cyan; 72% Magenta; 0% Yellow; 18% Black). The shape, or aspect ratio (the relationship of height to width) of the blue field is always the same. The size, spacing and placement of the words “Coldwell Banker” and the Coldwell Banker “bug” design are always in the same relationship within the blue field. The color, the aspect ratio of the Mark and the relationships within the Mark shall not be altered regardless of the application or the size of the Mark within the application. It is the uniqueness of each of these elements and the way they have been assembled into a unit that give the Coldwell Banker Corporate Mark its distinctive character. In virtually all applications a minimum of two grid units of white space surrounds the blue field of the Mark and shall always be maintained. The letters “CB” or the Coldwell Banker “bug” design shall never be used outside of the Mark, as the letters “CB” are the Trademark of another company. Advertising of any property or services, which is not within the definition of the Business, as that term is defined in the Franchise Agreement, is not permitted with the use of any of the Coldwell Banker Marks or the Coldwell Banker name. The advertising or general solicitation of certain kinds of commercial business is specifically prohibited. However, Franchisees who have been licensed the Coldwell Banker Commercial® Marks should refer to the Coldwell Banker Commercial Identity Standards Manual for further information.

Your company tradename should be centered directly under the logo with a rule underneath as shown.Your company tradename or “doing business as” name (often referred to as a “DBA”) is always typeset in Berkeley Oldstyle Bold in all caps. Times New Roman Bold may be substituted if Berkeley Oldstyle Bold is not available. The length of each line cannot exceed the width of the logo, and the complete company tradename cannot be more than three lines.Many common items such as stationery, yard signs and personal promotion literature can only be purchased with company-specific, imprinted information. Certain other items such as postcards, mailers or ad shells must be self-imprinted by the user. When utilizing brochures or preprinted presentation materials that offer a die cut feature for insertion of a business card, you must avail yourself of this feature to ensure that your company tradename is displayed in the document. Your company tradename or DBA must be pre-approved by Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, should provide clear identity and should never cause confusion with other offices or firms, or imply national scope. For example: n National Real Estate, Colorado Realty or United States Real Estate Associates would be inappropriate and confusing when used as your company tradename along with the Coldwell Banker Trademark. n Depending on the item, the full or Minimum Required Disclaimer line must always appear in upper and lower case Helvetica Regular type style each time your company tradename appears in conjunction with the Coldwell Banker name or the Corporate Mark. n Outside of the United States it is suggested that your company tradename or DBA should always include the words “Real Estate” or “Realty.” For exterior building signs a 60/40 format is authorized. The top 60% contains the Coldwell Banker name in white reversed out of a blue field, and the bottom 40% contains your company tradename in white upper case Berkeley Oldstyle Black letters custom cut out of a blue field and centered under the Mark in one, two or three lines. The point size of the letters in your company tradename are to be no higher than 60% of the height of the letters in the Coldwell Banker name, except for one-word names that are less than eight characters, whereby a maximum of 70% is allowed. The Minimum Required Disclaimer is in black, upper and lower case Helvetica centered under the lower blue field. This format is to be used only on outside building signs, and must always be maintained in that application. For all other applications a 50/50 format must be maintained. The top half contains the Coldwell Banker logo in PMS 280 and the Coldwell Banker “bug” design in white as illustrated. The bottom half contains your company tradename in black upper case Berkeley Oldstyle Bold letters with a ruled black line (the width of the blue field in the logo) underneath. The letters in your company tradename or DBA can be equal to, but not greater than, the point size of the letters in the Coldwell Banker name whenever possible. The Minimum Required Disclaimer must be printed in black, upper and lower case Helvetica. 4
  • 7. c o l d w e l l b a n k e r w o r k s . c o m Identity Requirements: Trademark No slogans, symbols, marks or words other than your company tradename or DBA (except a phone number or photograph on yard signs) are permitted within these prescribed formats. The use of the Coldwell Banker ® name or Mark is not permitted on checks or purchase orders without the Minimum Required Disclaimer. The 50/50 format must be maintained. To present a consistent and unified image for our company, we have provided guidelines to follow when using the Coldwell Banker name in body copy intended for external use. The Coldwell Banker Trademark must be set in all caps or boldface when used as an adjective to modify a noun. Do not use ALL CAPS or boldface when referring to Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, or in combination with your name or DBA (Coldwell Banker Smith & Smith Realty). The following examples demonstrate the correct use of our name in copy: n Our impressive reputation makes the COLDWELL BANKER® brand a premier real estate system. n Our impressive reputation makes the Coldwell Banker ® brand a premier real estate system. n The Coldwell Banker ® System has 100 years of experience and expertise. n Coldwell Banker Smith & Smith Realty has highly trained Sales Associates. n Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC maintains its international headquarters in Parsippany, New Jersey. n When referencing coldwellbanker.com, it must always appear in lower case bold with no spaces n The Coldwell Banker name can never be abbreviated or pluralized in any way, shape or form.

This is the only situation when two Coldwell Banker registered marks are not necessary. 5
  • 8. c o l d w e l l b a n k e r w o r k s . c o m Identity Requirements: Trademark Do not use the registered symbol when using your company tradename or DBA (i.e., Coldwell Banker Smith and Smith Realty) or Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC.

  • 9. c o l d w e l l b a n k e r w o r k s . c o m Identity Requirements: Reproduction of the Mark Logo Specifications The Coldwell Banker ® logo shall always be reproduced photographically from a high-quality, reproduction proof designed for that purpose. It shall never be drawn freehand. Downloadable versions of approved Coldwell Banker logos can be accessed at coldwellbankerworks.com. For large-scale reproductions of the Coldwell Banker logo (such as office building signs), strict adherence to proportionally sized enlargements is required. The blue field must maintain a 1.0 to 2.3928 ratio of height to width. The scaling grid below provides the correct space relationships for all elements of the Mark. This scaling grid should be used as a guide for scaling the Mark up or down in size and for verifying the correctness of reproductions. In general, a minimum of two (2) grid units of space or air shall be maintained around all four sides of the Mark except when specifically noted otherwise in this Identity Standards Manual. When the Mark is used against a tinted background, a margin of white space (a minimum of two grid units) is required around all four sides. No copy or graphic element shall be contained within this space. Aspect Ratio 1.0 to 2.3928 (28 grid units to 67 grid units). A correct Mark is 28 grid units in height and 67 grid units in width. 28 The correctness of the aspect ratio may be verified by measuring the Grid height of the field and multiplying it by 2.3928. The result should Units equal the width. Letter height is 7 grid units, except the K, which is 8.5 grid units. All measurements are in grid units. 67 The Scaling Grid provides the correct size and spacing relationships for all elements of the Mark. Note: These displays are for demonstration only. The scaling grid should never be reproduced as part of the Mark. 7 8-1/2 7 7
  • 10. c o l d w e l l b a n k e r w o r k s . c o m Identity Requirements: Reproduction of the Mark Color Specifications It is always preferable to show the Coldwell Banker ® Mark in blue, and always in the correct shade of blue. For Coldwell Banker Blue, generally PANTONE®* or PMS 280 will be specified. Four-Color Process Printing: When specifying four-color printed work (i.e., advertising or brochures, etc.), it may be desirable, for cost reasons, to use standard CMYK process colors rather than a matched Coldwell Banker Blue for the Mark. When printing on enamel or uncoated/coated paper stocks, Coldwell Banker Blue can be approximated by specifying 100% Cyan; 72% Magenta; 0% Yellow; and 18% black. The Coldwell Banker Blue color shall always be matched as closely as possible. When specifying Coldwell Banker Blue for applications other than print, an acceptable match may be obtained by following these specifications when ordering: Paint: Specify that paint be mixed to match PANTONE or PMS 280 precisely. Plastic Signage: Specify Lexan with 3M®** #3630-8544, vinyl applied, second surface. 3M® Film: Specify 3M film #3630-8544 for production of building signs that are externally illuminated, as well as signs that are illuminated from the inside. On a very limited basis, when the use of the color gold is permitted (specialty items, the Chairman’s Circle logo, etc.) specify PANTONE 8640 or gold foil. For the Coldwell Banker Concierge® Mark, specify PANTONE 874 or 1255. In those applications where rules (i.e., flying borders) are a part of the format, they shall appear in the color in which the Mark appears. Specialty Items Printing: When printing on fabric, leather or vinyl products, the words “Coldwell Banker” should be in white against a printed Coldwell Banker Blue or black background, or the words in gold against a blue background. The words in blue against a blue background are permitted, but not recommended. When manufacturing Awards and Recognition Products or Promotional items***, the words “Coldwell Banker” may be printed in white letters against a blue or clear glass background, gold against a black or gold background, clear glass against a white background, black against a gold background or blue against a gold background. It is not necessary to include the black rule and minimum required disclaimer on these types of items. The correct color for the Coldwell Banker Mark is PMS 280 or the appropriate CMYK match – 100% Cyan; 72% Magenta; 0% Yellow; and 18% Black. Note: The color blue shown on this page and throughout this guide is not intended to match the PANTONE Color Standard. Note: For the PANTONE Color Standard, refer to the current editions of the PANTONE Color Publications. *PANTONE® is a registered Trademark of PANTONE, Inc. **3M® is a registered Trademark of Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company. ***When manufacturing specialty items printed on paper products, the Corporate Mark should always be in the correct color blue, PMS 280. 8
  • 11. c o l d w e l l b a n k e r w o r k s . c o m Identity Requirements: Reproduction of the Mark Embossing Specifications The Coldwell Banker ® Mark also may be reproduced through a printing process known as embossing, where the words “Coldwell Banker” are raised in relief from the surface of the paper or fabric. Two types of embossed Marks are acceptable. The first has the words “Coldwell Banker” in raised relief letters against a printed field which defines the background of the Mark (illustration #1). The second has the words “Coldwell Banker” in raised relief letters against the field, using an embossed frame to define the field of the Mark. The lines that make up the frame are one grid unit in width. No ink is used. This is called a Blind Emboss (Illustration #2). In either instance, the words “Coldwell Banker” are raised from the surface of the paper or fabric. When the background field is printed in Coldwell Banker Blue, a one-level die is used. When embossing is blind, a two-level die is used with the frame being raised from the paper’s surface, but one half the depth or distance as that of the words “Coldwell Banker” (Illustration #3). Illustration #1 Illustration #2 28 Grid Units 1 Grid Unit 67 The Mark shall be reproduced photographically in making the embossing dies. The size of the words “Coldwell Banker,” their placement and the spacing in relationship to the background field or the frame that defines the field shall be consistent with all Mark specifications. The aspect ratio (height to width) of the blue field to the outside of the frame shall be 1.0 to 2.3928. The size of the embossed Mark shall be sufficient to enable the embossing to be crisp and sharp and the words legible. The prescribed space (generally two grid units) shall be maintained around all four sides of the Mark whether or not the field is printed in color or is defined by an embossed frame. When embossing the Mark, the words “Coldwell Banker” and the “Coldwell Banker” Coldwell Banker “bug” design element are always in raised relief Letters Raised Frame against the background. Illustration #1 depicts raised embossed Level 2 Level 1 letters against a printed Coldwell Banker Blue field. Illustration #2 depicts a “Blind Embossed” Mark with raised letters against a white field. The embossed frame, which defines the field, is in raised relief, one half the height of the raised letters and one (1) grid unit The above illustrates a cross-section view of a two-level “blind” in width (illustration #3). embossing die for reproduction of the Coldwell Banker Mark. 9

It is not our intention to solicit the offerings of other real estate brokers. We are happy to work with them and cooperate fully. Equal Housing Opportunity Slogan, Logo and Statement Specifications Please note that all advertising for the sale, rental or financing of residential real estate should contain the Equal Housing slogan, logo or statement.** These indicate to the public that the property is available to anyone, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, familial status, handicap or national origin. To convey a clear message of Equal Housing Opportunity and to ensure compliance with the law, the slogan, logo or statement must be included in all advertising and marketing materials, brochures, billboards, etc. The slogan, logo or statement should also be used in all materials promoting and announcing the achievements of an individual Sales Associate or Coldwell Banker office. Slogan: Equal Housing Opportunity. The slogan is used in ads under four column inches. The slogan may never be abbreviated to EHO. Ads under four column inches are not required to use the slogan if they are grouped with other ads under a Publisher’s notice, as in the classified section of your newspaper. This also applies for use in Buyer’s Guides. Logo: House Symbol The logo consists of the symbol and the slogan. The symbol may not be used alone. The logo is used in ads of four column inches or more. The logo should be clearly visible and legible. When other logos are used in display ads, federal regulations suggest that the Equal Housing Opportunity logo be of a size at least equal to the largest of the other logos. Federal Regulations: Regulations suggest the following guidelines for including the logo in ads of four column inches or more: Size of Ad Size of Logo 1/2 page or larger 2” x 2” 1/8 page to 1/2 page 1” x 1” 4 column inches to 1/8 page .5” x .5” The full Equal Housing Opportunity statement should read as follows: An Equal Opportunity Company .

  • 15. c o l d w e l l b a n k e r w o r k s . c o m Identity Requirements: Advertising Positioning Statement and Style Guidelines Refer to the statement below when creating advertising materials. Our goal is to convey a uniform brand image by conveying this philosophy in all of our com- munications. Always the New Way: Coldwell Banker® is the oldest national real estate organization in the United States, and the first to introduce a number of innovative online tools. So it makes sense that Coldwell Banker would be the first to recognize that a new breed of home buyers and sellers wants to be empowered and is therefore pioneering a “New Way” that blends innovation and tradition. Coldwell Banker offers the most sophisticated, user-friendly online tools, and when you’re ready for real world, local expertise, their network of top brokers and Sales Associates are ready to fully support you. It’s the New Way from a company that’s been innovating for more than 100 years. Style Guidelines: One word or two? Coldwell Banker ascribes to guidelines outlined in Elements of Style and the industry-specific usage below to determine whether two words become one, are hyphenated or remain two separate words: n HomeBuyer when describing Coldwell Banker Buyer Services products or elements (i.e., HomeBuyer Guidebook). n Home buyer n Home seller n Homeowner n Homeownership n Downpayment Sell a house, buy a home: Example headlines: Thinking of selling your house? Thinking of buying a home? Sales Associates or Agents: We prefer to use the words Sales Associates, not agents. However, in Canada, the term Sales Representative is more appropriate. The words “Sales Associates” or “Sales Representatives” should always be in initial caps. Open House: The words “Open House” should always be in initial caps. Correct Style for REALTOR®: The following guidelines have been established by the NAR. For more information, please see the NAR Membership Marks Manual. The ® symbol should always follow the word “REALTOR or REALTORS” when used in the name of a company, such as Golden State, REALTORS.® A comma should always precede these words in a company name. A real estate company can use these marks in its name only if it is a member of NAR and subscribes to its Code of Ethics. If REALTOR is used in ad copy, the ® symbol should be used when REALTOR follows a person’s name. According to AP style, a ® should not be used after REALTOR when it follows a person’s name in body copy. In all usages, the first letter “R” of REALTOR is uppercase. This upper/lowercase style is preferred by Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. However, if the ® symbol is not available in your software, use the all-capital form, REALTOR. When the terms REALTOR, REALTORS and REALTOR-Associate are used in pamphlets, newsletters or other written text, the ® symbol should be used in connec- tion with each appearance, to the extent it is practical. The following definition should appear at the bottom of the page on which the term REALTOR or REALTORS, as the case might be, is first used: REALTOR is a federally registered collective membership mark that identifies a real estate professional who is a member of the National Association of REALTORS and subscribes to its strict Code of Ethics. The National Association of REALTORS is the owner of the registered trademarks, REALTOR® and REALTORS®, respectively. 13
  • 16. c o l d w e l l b a n k e r w o r k s . c o m Identity Requirements: Advertising Other Guidelines: n Use the terms Realtor or Realtors in connection with, rather than as part of, your firm name. It’s “John Doe, Inc., Realtor,” not “John Doe, Realtor, Inc.” n Punctuation should be used to separate your firm name from the words “Realtor” or “Realtors,” even when they appear on separate lines: For example: John Jones and Company, Realtor n Use nonmember, instead of non-Realtor, when referring to a real estate broker who is not a member of NAR n When speaking of more than one member, use Realtors n Avoid possessives whenever possible. But if you can’t, use Realtor’s (singular possessive) or Realtors’ (plural possessive) n While Realtor-Associate® is acceptable, it is unacceptable to combine the term “Realtor” or the registered mark with other terms. It is also unacceptable to hyphenate (Real-tor), abbreviate (Rltr) or expand (Realtorific) n Do not use descriptive words to modify the term, such as Professional Realtor, Commercial Realtor or Twin Cities Realtor Style Guidelines To present a consistent and unified image for the Coldwell Banker ® System, we provided guidelines to follow when using the Coldwell Banker name in body copy. The following examples demonstrate the correct use of the brand name in the body copy: Never use the possessive form of Coldwell Banker (i.e., Coldwell Banker’s). The Coldwell Banker name must always be set in all caps or boldface when you are referring to the brand, or when you do not use your DBA. Below is an example demonstrating the correct use of the franchisor’s name is body copy: n Consumers turn to affiliates of Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC to make buying or selling a home simple n Our impressive reputation makes the COLDWELL BANKER® System a premier real estate brand n Our impressive reputation makes the Coldwell Banker ® System a premier real estate brand When you use Coldwell Banker with your company tradename, do not place any punctuation between Coldwell Banker and the name/market, and do not cap or boldface the “Coldwell Banker” name. The following example demonstrates the proper use of Coldwell Banker with a company tradename: n Coldwell Banker Smith & Smith Realty has highly trained Sales Associates When referring to coldwellbanker.com, it must always appear in lowercase and bold with no spaces, as demonstrated in the following example: n A premier real estate Web site, coldwellbanker.com, lets you search for a home 24 hours a day 14

  • 26. c o l d w e l l b a n k e r w o r k s . c o m Identity Requirements: Personal Promotions The Coldwell Banker ® image is a powerful and positive one, and it can be a vital ingredient in the personal promotion and marketing efforts of Sales Associates. One reason for the effectiveness of the Coldwell Banker brand name is its consistent and appropriate usage throughout the Coldwell Banker System. The following “Personal Promotion Requirements” address additional questions Sales Associates frequently ask as they incorporate the Coldwell Banker identity into their personal promotion marketing materials. By following these guidelines, you reinforce the effectiveness of the Coldwell Banker brand name and enhance your personal promotion efforts. Personal Promotion Required Use of Disclaimers: Sales Associates who create and utilize personal promotion literature must incorporate the Minimum Required Disclaimer, as shown in this guide, in their literature. The Coldwell Banker Personal Promotion Requirements: The Coldwell Banker name and reputation are the most valuable in the real estate industry and are vital to the professional identity of our affiliates. It is essential for that identity to be preserved in all materials presented to potential customers, including materials created by Sales Associates as part of their personal promotion campaigns. To help maintain the Coldwell Banker identity, Sales Associates who use personal promotion materials must follow these guidelines: 1. The Coldwell Banker Mark, associated Trademarks and service marks are always to be used according to the specification in this guide. 2. The Coldwell Banker Mark, (or, for Previews® Property Specialist designation, the approved Coldwell Banker Previews International® logo) must always appear on personal promotion literature in a prominent location and size. Affiliates must also include their complete company tradename, regardless of whether they are utilizing the Coldwell Banker or the Coldwell Banker Previews International Mark. In the case of the Previews Mark, the complete company tradename need not appear in close proximity to the Mark itself. 3. A personal mark (i.e., individual Sales Associate logo, stylized name treatment, personal slogan or tag line) should not be used in close proximity to the Coldwell Banker Mark or other approved Coldwell Banker identifier; each must stand alone. In no case is the Coldwell Banker Mark or other approved Coldwell Banker identifier to be incorporated into the design or wording of a personal mark. 4. A personal mark is not to be used in a way that might confuse and mislead the public regarding the identity of the Responsible Broker. Local laws and regulations prescribing the relationship of Broker and Sales Associate identification must be followed. 5. The Sales Associate should identify the source for any claims (e.g., #1 in Sales) in a footnote within the ad and be prepared to substantiate the claim with underlying data. Promised services must always fall within the approved bundle of Coldwell Banker services; no service may be offered outside this menu without prior approval by Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC. 6. Use of a personal mark may risk claims of Trademark infringement by third parties, and a Sales Associate contemplating use of a personal mark should first obtain a Trademark search (at his or her expense) to ascertain availability of the mark. The Sales Associate assumes full risk for such claims, and he or she must inform Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC immediately of any such claim of infringement and must indemnify Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC in connection with such claims. 7. Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC reserves the right of prior approval of personal marks (including service and performance claims) as well as the materials in which they are used. Note: Some state laws require the type or size or prominence of the Sales Associate’s name in advertising must be smaller than that type of the office name. In those states, franchisees should work with their Affiliate Service Manager and approved suppliers to adopt the specifications related to the size of these two elements in order to comply with those laws. 24
