Coldwell Banker, one of the first Real Estate Brokers to market luxury real estate, and one of its most storied firms, continues to innovate the marketing of properties by telling a story through film. This year Bixby Residential and Bixby Blog will be bringing you more information via film. Our lives enjoy constant movement. So should our listings. Our neighborhoods are living and breathing–constantly in flux. So too, should our communities be showcased as vibrant and dynamic places where life takes place, kids go to school, residents enjoy the environment, and homes sell (if we do our job well).

Each short film might not be Michael Bay or James Cameron quality, but our aim is to bring you pertinent news and valuable insights, encased in a digestible format and placed in proper context. In an era where there is a lot of Internet and regional news noise, we will bring a local interpretation and common sense.
