The


Coldwell
Banker
brand
is
continuing
its
summer
of
growth.
On
Tuesday,

Coldwell
Banker
Realty
announced
the
affiliation
of
top-ranked
small
team

The
Lara
&
Chelsea
Collaborative.

Founded
and
run
by
Lara
O’Rouke
and
Chelsea
Robinson,
the
team
—
which
consisted
of
five
agents
in
2023
—
serves
clients
in
the

Wellesley,
Massachusetts,
area.
The
team
was
previously
brokered
at


Gibson
Sotheby’s
International
Realty,
another


Anywhere
brand.
They
will
now
operate
out
of
the
Coldwell
Banker
Realty
office
in
Wellesley.

The
team
specializes
in
luxury
listings.
They
say
that
the
key
to
their
success
as
a
team
is
their
collaborative
approach,
depth
of
experience,
nuanced
negotiation
skills,
and
their
ability
to
build
and
foster
long-term
relationships,
helping
them
connect
the
right
people
at
the
right
time.

“Our
business
is
built
on
the
pillars
of
collaboration
and
connections,
with
a
deep
understanding
that
relationships
are
the
cornerstone
for
success,
both
with
our
clients
and
within
the
brokerage
community,”
O’Rourke
and
Robinson
said
in
a
joint
statement.

“The
relationships
we
have
cultivated
over
the
years
are
the
core
of
our
professional
network,
which
is
constantly
growing.
Our
move
to
Coldwell
Banker
Realty
is
a
natural
step
forward
in
that
process,
strengthening
our
access
to
a
worldwide
network
of
real
estate
agents
and
a
powerful
suite
of
tools
and
support
that
will
further
enhance
the
full
range
of
service
we
offer
to
our
clients

In
2023,
the
team
closed
67
transaction
sides
for
a
total
sales
volume
of
$145.6
million,
making
it
the

No.
3
ranked
small
team
in
Massachusetts
and
the
No.
69
ranked
small
team
nationally
by
sales
volume
in
the


2024
RealTrends
Verified
rankings.

“It
is
such
a
pleasure
to
welcome
Lara
and
Chelsea
to
Coldwell
Banker
Realty.
They
have
made
a
name
for
themselves
in
the
Wellesley
real
estate
market
and
are
highly
respected
by
both
colleagues
and
clients
for
their
professionalism,
innovation
and
unmistakable
passion
for
the
real
estate
business,”
Chantelle
Persac,
branch
manager
of
the
Coldwell
Banker
Realty
Wellesley
and
Weston
offices,
said
in
a
statement.
“I
look
forward
to
working
closely
with
and
supporting
them
as
they
begin
this
important
new
chapter
in
their
careers.“

Coldwell

other

few
months.
