“Rich Cosner is the best at what he does. It doesn’t matter what background you come from. He made it very clear from me from the start; if you have the drive, you can be as successful as you want to be, and he will get you there. Take it from me as I have spent my whole life working in the HVAC industry, from my father and grandfather, working is a way of life. But when you love what you do it’s not work anymore it’s a career! That is what I found when I joined the Coldwell Banker Firm, and not only a firm, but a family of agents and the best mentor who strives to see his agents succeed. Rich invests a lot into us agents so we can come out on top and be the best agents we can be! So if your looking for a career change, to become a Real estate Agent, or even swapping firms, come join the Coldwell Banker Family.”

“I’ve been a Realtor for 11 years, having worked at Remax for 10 years previously before accepting Rich Cosner’s invitation to come to work for him. I can truthfully say Rich is very friendly and encouraging to his agents. He offers very good advice and also offers educational classes on many subjects. He runs his office like a business, but he’s definitely a people person. He doesn’t meddle into my business and lets me “do my thing” without any interference from him. I have not regretted joining his firm one second - we are already the Number One Agency in this area, out-selling all the others put together. And I have had one of my best years ever at Coldwell Banker Southern Realty, successfully closing over 50 transactions! I’m definitely proud to be on a winning team at Coldwell Banker Southern Realty”

“I’ve known Rich Cosner for nearly 30 years. Being the supportive Broker he is, it’s his agents who win! During the time I worked as a salesperson at his company, our offerings and services were second-to-none. There was no comparison, and Rich approached taking his agents’ businesses to soaring levels, by investing in them. He is amazing when it comes to providing the grandest and classiest location and artful at maintaining a personal-connected environment – he is present and always makes time for his agents. The only thing standing between us now is geography. As a sales manager, Rich is the friend and resource I value turning to for the best ideas in the industry, the best approaches to situations, and the best advice because I trust him. I think it’s an extra benefit to his agents that he is isn’t a sellingcompeting broker in the business – his focus is on his agents, managers, staff and everyone’s success.” Kelly L.

“In todays world of Real Estate one might think all companies are the same, I assure you they are not. We can say every office has the same things. The real truth is every office has access to the same things. After being in this business of ours over 28 years and meeting hundreds if not thousands of agents, I know most agents will just do what they have to; and not take advantage of what will make them great! The difference with Prudential California Realty-Rancho Cucamonga is we have an astute owner/operator who has the foresight to envision something greater than the average Real Estate Office! Rich Cosner truly wants his Realtors to succeed on a higher plain; both in business and in life. He has set in motion the finest, state of the art tools that we need to succeed; and more importantly made them easily utilized in our everyday business. I believe this to be paramount to our success as agents. There is no other place I would rather be than right where I am, I feel truly blessed to be a part of this organization!” Prudential CA Realty 12335 Baseline Road #101 Rancho Cucamonga, CA 91739 www.ocliving4u.com 714-337-8718 Calbre#00898302”

“I have enjoyed a strong business and personal relationship with Rich for many years. I have admired his character and success and endorse him whole-heartedly. Rich Cosner has enjoyed exceptional success in the real estate brokerage business, as a result of his people development skills. He is a caring, professional and charismatic businessman who has devoted his career to helping people attain greater successes than they ever imagined. This has resulted in great business and personal success for all associated with him and his company. If you are considering a move or a new career in real estate, you would be well-served to seriously consider aligning with Rich. He is too humble to advertise his own success BUT he is one of the most respected and admired brokerage leaders in the industry. At all times, he gives full credit for his success, to the wonderful people within his companies. If you want to align with a professional broker who cares about his associates and does not see you, as just a number, allow Rich to be the catalyst for your success.” Former Prudential Real Estate – Executive Vice President, North America Former Senior Vice President – HSF Affiliates LLC., parent of Prudential Real Estate, Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices and Real Living Real Estate”

His ownership and leadership principles have been guided by a resolute belief that people are the most important asset of any company.

“I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Rich Cosner for the past 15 years. Our paths first crossed when I was a the Executive Vice President of Prudential California Realty, based in San Diego and the Nation’s largest Prudential Franchise. We held the Master franchise for the territory spanning Santa Barbara to the Mexican Boarder. Rich owned and operated one of the finer, if not the finest, privately owned and operated companies within our Region. In addition, Rich and I have also been involved in the same company owner Master Mind group. My knowledge of Rich is extensive and firsthand. You will find Rich to be a man of unquestioned integrity, high morals combined with outstanding leadership qualities. He understands this industry from the perspective of the sales associate. Always willing to listen, fair minded and responsive to the needs of his associates. Qualities not always present in todays world.

“I have known Rich Cosner for over 30 years. As a brand new real estate agent, I was attracted to his positive energy and the direction he offered to me. I worked under his brokerage for over 15 years until he left the area to open a company in North Orange County. Rich is engaging, knowledgeable, honest, and enthusiastic. He is a great mentor for any age group in any business. He is reliable, consistent and always on the cutting edge in business development.

“I was a floundering 5 month new Realtor at an established real estate firm in Orange County, California when Rich Cosner entered my life. He called to asked me to give him a chance...and a month...to turn my stumbling real estate hobby into a flourishing, income generating career. Thirty-one years later I am proud to say that I gave him that chance and he was indeed a man of his word. Rich is a motivator of people and his skills at teaching, managing, inspiring, building and designing real estate related enterprises and real estate individuals is second to none.

Rich invests the money to develop the right value proposition for the market place and then teaches agents how to use the proposition to differentiate from the competition.

“I have known Rich Cosner for twelve years in my work in title insurance sales. Rich has consistently stood out during this time for a number of reasons. 1) Passion for Success. Rich wants success for all of his agents and firmly believes that they will do better working with him. This is backed up with a track record of agent success. Year after year, Rich invests his time and monies to bring resources and experts to push agents toward excellence. He has always been enthusiastic about sales and the rewards they bring to agents. 2) Knowledge of Industry. We always looked forward to his insights as the market went through its changes with the economy. What was next, how to sell in the future, who was buying, what sellers were expecting from their agents, where the competition was coming from were his expertise. He helps explain these issues and how they can impact your business. 3) Human Touch. Rich is friendship on CEO. You regularly saw him at social events, weddings, funerals and other life events for not only his agents but also for those of us on the outside known as vendors. You always get the sense that he genuinely enjoys people and the friendships to be had through honest interactions. This isn’t always the case for ambitious brokers but is very much a stand out quality for Rich. I hold dear his comments and notes following a tragedy in my own life. 4) Optimism. Optimism is great to have. It is better when it is coupled with knowledge, honesty, skill, and charisma. You’ll find all of these in Rich. 5) A Game. Rich always brings his best, which encourages those around him to bring their best. I often believed that my own skills were sharpened by my association with Rich.””

“I have known Rich for almost 9 years now and he is an outstanding broker to work with. I’ve had the opportunity to meet other brokers in the area and although they are all very professional, I wouldn’t think of hanging my license in any other office. Rich really cares deeply about all his agents and he works closely with all of them to ensure they have everything they need to be successful in this business. His marketing is cutting edge, and he really goes above and beyond to make sure his agents can position themselves as the best in their market area. If you want to align yourself with the best in the business you need to give Rich a call and make the move to Prudential California Realty. In my mind, there is no other choice.””

“Prudential California Realty is the premier real estate firm for agents and clients working and or selling in the luxury real estate market. I begin my career in real estate nearly a decade ago working for Prudential California Realty out of the Rancho Cucamonga office. Over the seven years I worked for Prudential I primarily focused on the high-end luxury estates areas of Rancho Cucamonga such as Toll Brothers Estates, Havenview Estates and Carriage Estates. Thought the extensive knowledge and training provided by Prudential, it’s managers and fellow agents I built a successful career working in the luxury home market. Prudential has and continues to have the leading edge on on-line marketing geared towards a successful sale and promotion of high-end residential real estate. In fact according to the latest statistic 87% of homebuyers start their search online and this number is even higher for international buyers looking for high-end real estate. Prudential understands their buyer and seller and work to provide the best marketing and training so their agents can and will succeed at the highest levels. I am proud to say that in last then a decade working in residential real estate I have sold over $48 million in real estate. I attribute a large majority of my success to the training, marketing, support and infrastructure provider to me by Prudential. They have been and will continue to be a model for success in the real estate industry. Thanks again, to all the Prudential family and in-particular Rich Conser, for his professional guidance and continuing support.” Rodeo Realty - Beverly Hills / Brentwood Luxury Estates Division 323-422-3253 cell [email protected]”

“In today’s market and society in general, people don’t consider others. Selfishness is rampant. Selflessness is unknown. Rich Cosner is unique. He is generous, sincere and ever so personal as he continues to make people a priority in life. He generously pours his time and energy into the brand new agent just as he would the top producer. I will never forget being a new agent and him accompanying me on a listing appointment!! Not only was he selflessly encouraging me that day but he was serving the sellers giving them the assurance they needed. He sincerely wants to see you succeed. Although he is a very savvy businessman and doesn’t need to make another penny, he doesn’t retreat to a life of self indulgence but rather wants to share his experience and tools to see others not just succeed but thrive. He is surprisingly accessible. What a privilege to have him in my corner. Although he has hundreds if not thousands of people he engages with in a given month, you matter to him personally. I knew that he didn’t see me as a number but instead he saw me as an individual. Rich Cosner was not only my boss but my friend and one of my greatest cheerleaders. His faithful support made it extremely difficult for me to leave his office to open my own. Even so, I know that Rich continues to cheer for me. What selfless authentic support we have in Rich!!””

“My career with Rich started when he opened his first office in Mission Viejo with 10 agents. I was an agent for two years and a sales manager for six and in that time the company grew from the 10 agents to 135 while also moving into larger facilities to accommodate the growth. This phenomenal growth was due to Rich’s vision, marketing and technical tools needed to keep up with the ever changing world of real estate. It is difficult to find a broker/owner with as much passion for the business plus his innate capacity to care about the success of each of his agents. His training far exceeds any company I’ve ever encountered. One of Rich’s strongest attributes is to reward and acknowledge agents who have done a great job. This is key to the success of any company.””

“To whom it may concern: I started my real estate career with Rich Cosner in 1989. It was the best decision I could have made. Many of my friends who chose to start with other companies soon gave up on the business. Rich made sure that anyone who worked for him had everything necessary to succeed. His patience, knowledge, kindness and years of experience were priceless. He was always ahead of the game with the most recent technology, which gave us an edge in the marketplace. One of the most important qualities for any businessman is integrity and Rich has always had that reputation. He insisted that we were above board on all of our transactions and taught us well. Rich has such a positive attitude and will cheer you on no matter what the market conditions. He works with you to make you a success. His guidance is responsible for my successful career.” Sincere Regards,”

As an agent that’s worked with you and Prudential for over 15 years, I can say without hesitation that your company offers the best training, marketing and support of your agents of any real estate firm out there. Moreover, the support that agents receive from you personally is second to none!

“When I started to working for Rich Cosner / Prudential I had no clue as to what it was to be a Realtor. Through the tools and training Rich provided as the owner of his company I was able to learn what a Realtor should do, be and perform like to be successful. I remember Rich put together an Action group to help those that wanted to increase the knowledge and business. It was a great learning time for me and he committed to about 12 weeks for this action group. What impressed me was at that time Rich had several Top Producers in the company, but he was willing to shear his time, money and knowledge to those that were not producing as well as we could have. My highest Respect to Rich Cosner, a man that has been a great man to work for and with. Rich is down to earth and shows true concern for his company and those who work there!!!.””

“I first got in the Real Estate business in 1988 in Mission Viejo. Within 3 months, I became the Top Listing Agent of the rival company. I then was recruited by Rich Cosner. He promised me this and that and he had a marketing plan that could propel me into another level. I took the chance and never looked back! At one point in time, I had 23 listings and 9 escrows going. Rich Cosner was instrumental in giving me the tools it took to get to that level! Never underestimate the knowledge and power Rich Cosner has and what he can do to further your career in Real Estate. Do yourself a favor, give Rich Cosner a chance, you won’t be disappointed, I did and will forever be thankful!””

“Rich Cosner is one of the most dynamic brokers I have ever worked for. Most brokers don’t care about their agents’ success on the level Rich does. His passion is to make us more than just being great realtors but for us to become great business owners and entrepreneurs. While he spends a lot of his time coaching us, he never loses sight on how we can better serve our clients. He understands that our customers are the most important part of our business. His dedication to train us to become better marketers, more efficient, and out of the box thinking allows us to out sell the competition. When our homes sell for more money and faster than the average agent our clients win and that is the ultimate satisfaction as an agent.””

“I have had the pleasure of knowing Rich Cosner for over 20 years and let my comments be a good old fashioned testimonial to what a phenomenal broker/mentor he is for any agent or industry professional fortunate enough to be a part of his world. More importantly, Rich is just a genuinely kind, warm, funny, and engaged person. I am now a Senior Vice President with First American Title. But much earlier in my career, Rich took the time to work with me, to help me visualize greater success and break through to new sales levels, which frankly, I didn’t think we’re possible. Rich got me to look at obstacles as challenges and how to creatively rework my own goals to achieve greater ones, while still remaining true to my own personal goal of love and service. There wasn’t anything ‘in it’ for him. That’s just how Rich is to everyone. I have seen him extend kindnesses and help to struggling new agents, when no one was looking, no one knew. That is why any agent should seriously consider working with Rich and his enterprise. We rise and fall by the company we keep. Rich is great company. He is a leader, a trainer and an innovator. I would spend time with him everyday if I could. Consider yourself lucky if you should find yourself with the opportunity.””

“Hello Rich, A long time has passed since I joined your company Century 21 Hillcrest in 1988, only 5 years later and #5 in the nation, to become Prudential California Realty. There were approximately 25 of us, and we were a family. You made sure of that, and our Real Estate business was fun! As a progressive and proactive businessman, you had the insight that I would be successfully. Well, with the skill training, tools, and personal attention that you and your management team provided, I found myself as being one of your ‘stars,’ which was what you used to call us. I trusted your wisdom as a leader, and I did what you suggested. It worked! In a very short time, I became a respected Realtor in the in dustry by my peers, and here I am 28 years later, still passing on the skills I learned in (what I have always called) ‘The House of Cos.’ In conclusion, I would highly recommend new and seasoned Realtors to join your company if they are serious about their business and want every opportunity available in the industry. I do follow your company on Facebook and I see that nothing has changed. You still offer so much of yourself to your ‘team’ as you did 28 years ago. In my opinion, anyone joining you, Rich Cosner, and Prudential California Realty are making the best decision of their career. I did.””

“I had the pleasure of working closely with real estate broker Rich Cosner for 3 years. During that time and under his mentoring, I successfully tripled my earnings and firmly established a 10,000 home geographic farm in Anaheim Hills. Rich’s passion, business building knowledge, and marketing support were major contributors to my success. I greatly benefited from working with him and his team.””

“The Molloy Team has been working under the leadership and guidance of Rich Cosner as President and CEO of Prudential California Realty for over 10 years. The decision to go and stay with Prudential is mostly due to Rich. Besides having an “open door” policy, Rich has always provided his agents with “cutting edge” training and technological advances. Rich Cosner is much more then simply a President and CEO. Rich is a mentor, teacher, advisor, and most importantly we consider him a friend.””

“To Whom It May Concern: It is my great privilege and joy to personally recommend to anyone looking for a great broker or “overseer” to help you build an awesome real estate career…my former broker, Mr. Rich Cosner. I lived in Southern California and joined his firm right at the beginning of my time in real estate. Rich taught me and many others like me, how to just flat “WIN” at real estate. From selecting the different neighborhoods in which to sow advertisements and contacts in order to gain those properties, to the art of advertising and the placement of it in order to get those properties sold, Rich always shared his vast knowledge that brought him such success. That kind of leadership is what has made him, as well as the realtors he has produced, such a huge success and number one in many markets. I would encourage any realtor in any market to connect with Rich if they want to see great results from their time and effort and become a top producer in real estate.” Sincerely,”

“Dear Rich, Thank you for the many years we have shared. The best addition to my career was joining you in January of 1999. Thanks to your leadership and attention I was able to earn the Prudential Legend Award and the Outstanding Customer Service Award and to enjoy a prosperous and satisfying profession. Rich Cosner is an amazing Broker. His association with the top Brokers in the U.S.; his voracious reading and constant interest in growth; his market knowledge and ability to discern market conditions; and his sincere interest in his Agents has been the keystone of his success. Anyone associated with his business will learn and always be a step ahead in the market place. I highly recommend him to anyone, learning or already successful, as a Broker to truly admire and believe in. Rich, I truly have learned the difference between a Broker/ Owner who is involved and committed to the Agents growth and success and those that just provide a work place. Thank you for always having my back. You always did what you said you would and earned my trust. I wish you the very best of success in your endeavors and all the happiness you can handle! Respectfully,”

“After working with Rich Cosner for almost 25 years, I can honestly say there is no better leader in the real estate industry when it comes to agent-centric management. He genuinely cares about the agents that work for him and diligently works to help grow their business. He has business and marketing savvy that benefits every agent, from newly licensed to top producer, and I’ve personally watched the transformation of hundreds of agent’s careers under his leadership over the years. If there is a one thing I’ve learned in my own capacity as an owner of a real estate marketing company, it’s that the support behind the agent makes all the difference in the world when it comes to success and failure. If your goal is to be successful, Rich Cosner would be the best choice you could make to hitch your wagon to.””

“My father introduced me to Rich Cosner when I was 20 years old. My father, a new homes builder, knew Rich as having been his new homes sales manager. He told me that Rich, then 26 years old and office manager of Russell Realty, would be a great mentor as he was ‘really going places.’ Dad was right! Throughout the years Rich has always been at the leading edge of the real estate industry. His foresight as to the direction of business keeps him on top. I am still in real estate and if I lived anywhere near one of his offices I would be there! Rich is more that a leader, he is an innovator.””

“Rich grew up and went to school in Pennsylvania. When he was ready to go to work he came to Lorain County on the shores of Lake Erie in Ohio to make his mark. Make his mark he did, quickly becoming one of the most successful realtors in the area. Much to the pleasure of Newman Russell, owner of Russell Realty, Rich ran the most successful office in the company of 7 offices. Persuading realtors to come work for him was a no-brainer. As other realtors in the area saw the success of his office they wanted ‘in.’ Mr. Russell then asked Rich to do company-wide sales meetings in order to inspire and effectively train the rest of the sales staff. Richard D. Cosner is the most dynamic Sales Manager I have ever known or seen in action. His enthusiasm is boundless and contagious. He has taken on many beginners and made them stars in the Real Estate Business. Rich is a master at instilling the desire to be great. I have been a witness to the results many times over.I have total confidence in Rich’s ability to succeed in whatever endeavor he undertakes. Rich is the only person I have met in my entire life about whom I can honestly make these statements.””

“Rich Cosner is one of the most kind, inspirational, motivational and intelligent people I know. His success lies in his ability to create an environment of cohesion and trust, provide clarity of vision and philosophy, and elicit hard work and commitment from and for his agents. Rich does all of this with conviction of heart, passion for the business and an honest respect for his agents. He instills values in each agent that will follow them through an incredibly successful career in real estate and life in general. As a broker, Rich truly represents the highest level of integrity in the industry and he does so with incredible optimism and passion. Whether a seasoned professional or a newly licensed agent, I would highly recommend working with Rich....an opportunity of a lifetime.”

“As part of the management team for many years with Prudential California Realty I was involved in many of the discussions that centered on the growth of the company and overall productivity of the agents within the company. At each meeting that we met Rich Cosner had a keen focus ofwhat would help the agents the most. The question he always asked was ‘Will this help the agents sell more homes?’ Rich’s has an acute focus on the well being of his agents and what will benefit them in the long run. If something was not a benefit directly to the agents Rich would pass on it and continue to search for a better tool, process, system, or idea to help his agents succeed.””
