Harvard Real Estate Advantage Program
Our partner, Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, provides a variety of special services, including cash back on private market home purchases and sales, to Harvard and affiliated hospital faculty, staff, and retirees. 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, contact the Real Estate Advantage Program directly at 800-396-0960 to speak with a Coldwell Banker counselor. The counselor will answer any questions you may have, assess your needs and will assign one of the program’s real estate agents to you. They will also provide community, school and pricing information. Then you can search available private market property listings through Coldwell Banker’s New England Moves website. Please note that if you contact an agent directly without first going through the REAP sign-up and assignment process, you may not be eligible for the cash back program.
