Our partner, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, provides a variety of special services, including cash back on private market home purchases and sales, to Harvard faculty and staff. The cash back benefit is funded by a referral fee negotiated by the University with Coldwell Banker. The portion of the referral fee given back to Harvard is split approximately 50/50 between the Harvard employee and the Faculty Real Estate Services department, which manages the Real Estate Advantage Program for the University.
To get started, please send an email to Susan Keller, or call 617-495-9368. You can also call Coldwell Banker directly at 800-396-0960 or 617-495-8840 or by visiting the REAP web site. Search available properties through Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage. Please do not contact an agent directly or you may not be eligible for the cash back program.
