A Tennessee Brokerage Built Around Agent Growth
Coldwell Banker Southern Realty is built on the belief that when agents grow, clients are served better.
Coldwell Banker Southern Realty serves buyers, sellers, and communities across Tennessee, but the company’s foundation begins with the agents who represent it.
Led by Rich Cosner, Coldwell Banker Southern Realty is built around helping real estate professionals grow stronger, more productive, and more sustainable businesses. That means providing agents with leadership, training, support, accountability, brand strength, and a brokerage culture focused on long-term success.
For clients, that agent-focused approach matters. When agents are better trained, better supported, and better equipped to serve, buyers and sellers benefit from a higher level of professionalism, communication, market knowledge, and care.
For agents, it means joining a brokerage that is not simply a place to hold a license. Coldwell Banker Southern Realty is designed to help agents build confidence, improve production, strengthen their business habits, and grow with the support of local leadership and the Coldwell Banker brand.
With office locations in Nashville, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Mt. Juliet, Shelbyville, Jackson, and Lawrenceburg, Coldwell Banker Southern Realty supports real estate professionals across Tennessee while staying focused on the same core mission: helping agents grow so they can serve their clients and communities at a higher level.
Led by Rich Cosner
Coldwell Banker Southern Realty is built on the belief that when agents grow, clients are served better.
Coldwell Banker Southern Realty is led by Rich Cosner, President and Owner, whose real estate career began in 1979. Over more than 45 years in the industry, Rich has built, led, and developed real estate organizations with one consistent focus: helping agents succeed.
Rich’s leadership is rooted in the belief that a brokerage should do more than provide a brand name and office space. It should help agents grow through training, coaching, accountability, business planning, systems, marketing support, and practical leadership.
One of the clearest differences in Rich’s approach is that he does not personally sell real estate. His role is not to compete with agents for clients, listings, or production. His role is to lead the company, support the agents, strengthen the brokerage, and help real estate professionals build better businesses.
That agent-first model shapes the culture of Coldwell Banker Southern Realty. Whether an agent is newly licensed, building consistency, highly experienced, or already producing at a high level, Rich’s focus remains the same: help serious agents grow with stronger direction, better support, and a brokerage environment built around long-term success.
The #1 Coldwell Banker Company in Tennessee
Coldwell Banker Southern Realty has become a leading brokerage for agents who want brand strength, local leadership, and room to grow.
Coldwell Banker Southern Realty is recognized as the #1 Coldwell Banker company in Tennessee — a reflection of the agents, managers, leadership, systems, and culture that support the company’s continued growth.
For real estate agents, that matters. Choosing a brokerage is not only about the name on the sign. It is about the strength of the company behind you, the leadership you can access, the standards you are surrounded by, and the support available as you build your business.
Under Rich Cosner’s leadership, Coldwell Banker Southern Realty has continued to grow by focusing on agent development, professional support, training, accountability, and strong local leadership. The company’s success is tied directly to the success of the agents who choose to build their careers there.
Being part of a strong Coldwell Banker company gives agents the advantage of brand recognition, market credibility, and a larger network — while still being supported by local Tennessee leadership that understands the markets, offices, agents, and communities the company serves.
For agents in Nashville, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Mt. Juliet, Shelbyville, Jackson, Lawrenceburg, and surrounding Tennessee communities, Coldwell Banker Southern Realty offers the combination of local leadership, statewide strength, and brand credibility that can help support long-term career growth.

This local office network allows Coldwell Banker Southern Realty to serve a wide range of Tennessee buyers, sellers, agents, and communities while maintaining a strong focus on agent growth and professional support.

Why Agents Choose Coldwell Banker Southern Realty
Agents choose Coldwell Banker Southern Realty because they want more than a place to hold a license.
Choosing a real estate brokerage is one of the most important business decisions an agent can make. The right brokerage can provide direction, structure, leadership, support, and accountability. The wrong brokerage can leave agents feeling isolated, reactive, unsupported, or unsure how to grow.
Coldwell Banker Southern Realty is built for agents who want to grow with stronger guidance, better systems, and a brokerage culture focused on long-term success.
Under the leadership of Rich Cosner, President and Owner, Coldwell Banker Southern Realty supports agents through practical training, coaching, business planning, accountability, marketing guidance, leadership access, and professional support designed to help agents build stronger real estate businesses.
Agents choose Coldwell Banker Southern Realty for:
- Training that helps agents understand the business, build confidence, and improve their skills
- Coaching that gives agents practical direction instead of leaving them to figure everything out alone
- Business planning that helps agents set goals, track activity, and build a more intentional real estate career
- Accountability that keeps agents focused on the habits, conversations, and actions that create production
- Marketing support that helps agents strengthen their visibility, communicate their value, and serve clients well
- Systems that help agents become more organized, consistent, and professional
- Leadership that is accessible, experienced, and focused on agent growth
- Culture that encourages professionalism, collaboration, support, and high standards
For newly licensed agents, this kind of support can create a stronger start. For agents in their first few years, it can provide the structure needed to move from unpredictable activity to a more consistent business. For experienced agents, it can create better systems, stronger leadership, and more room to grow. For top-producing agents, it can offer leverage, brand strength, and a brokerage environment that supports the next stage of growth.
Coldwell Banker Southern Realty is not simply a brokerage name. It is a leadership-driven real estate company built around helping agents grow, serve clients well, and build stronger businesses across Tennessee.
Support for Every Stage of an Agent’s Career
Coldwell Banker Southern Realty supports real estate agents at every stage of growth.
Not every real estate agent needs the same kind of brokerage support. A newly licensed agent needs a strong foundation. An agent in the first few years may need more structure, accountability, and direction. An experienced agent may need better systems, stronger leadership, and more strategic support. A top-producing agent may need leverage, brand strength, confidentiality, and a brokerage environment that supports continued growth.
Coldwell Banker Southern Realty is built to support agents through each of these stages.
Whether an agent is just getting licensed, trying to create consistency, ready to grow beyond their current ceiling, or looking for a stronger platform for an already successful business, Rich Cosner and Coldwell Banker Southern Realty provide leadership, training, coaching, systems, accountability, and support designed around agent growth.
Explore support by career stage:
- Newly Licensed Agents — for agents who want the right start, the right training, and the right brokerage foundation.
- Agents in Their First Two Years — for agents who are licensed but want more consistency, direction, and accountability.
- Experienced Agents — for agents who know the business but want stronger systems, better leadership, and more room to grow.
- Top-Producing Agents — for high-performing agents who want greater leverage, brand strength, and a confidential conversation about their next stage of growth.
Local Leadership + Coldwell Banker Brand Strength
Coldwell Banker Southern Realty gives agents the advantage of local ownership, accessible leadership, and national brand recognition.
One of the most important advantages of Coldwell Banker Southern Realty is the combination of strong local leadership and the power of the Coldwell Banker brand.
Agents are not choosing between a local brokerage that understands their market and a national brand with name recognition. At Coldwell Banker Southern Realty, they have both.
Led by Rich Cosner, President and Owner, Coldwell Banker Southern Realty offers agents the benefit of local Tennessee leadership that understands the offices, markets, agents, clients, and communities the company serves. That matters because real estate is local. Agents need leadership that understands their market, their goals, their challenges, and the realities of building a real estate business in Tennessee.
At the same time, Coldwell Banker Southern Realty is connected to the larger Coldwell Banker brand, giving agents the credibility, recognition, tools, and professional presence that come with being part of one of the most established names in real estate.
For agents, this combination creates a stronger platform for growth. They can build their business with the support of local leadership while benefiting from the trust, visibility, and brand strength associated with Coldwell Banker.
That balance is especially important for agents who want more than a logo. They want leadership they can reach, systems they can use, training they can apply, and a brand that helps them walk into client conversations with confidence.
Coldwell Banker Southern Realty brings those pieces together: local ownership, experienced leadership, Tennessee market knowledge, national brand recognition, and a brokerage culture built around helping agents grow.
