Coldwell Banker Premier Realty

Coldwell Banker Premier Realty is the Coldwell Banker franchise for St. George, working from 157 East Riverside Drive, Suite 1A, with Shayne Barney as broker and owner partner. Barney holds the CCIM designation, the commercial investment credential, and the office carries a mix of residential, land and commercial listings rather than resale alone. Coldwell Banker itself dates to 1906 in San Francisco and is one of the oldest brands in American residential brokerage. The office serves St. George and the surrounding Washington County communities.

Behind the brand

A franchise office is locally owned and locally staffed; what it buys from the network is the name, the referral pipeline and a set of tools. For a seller that matters most when the buyer is out of state, which in Washington County they very often are — Coldwell Banker carries a listing into a national audience that a purely local firm has to reach some other way. It does not change who negotiates your deal, which is still an agent in St. George.

Which part of the valley this is

The office is on Riverside Drive, the commercial corridor along the north bank of the Virgin River that holds much of the city’s professional office space. The closest neighborhoods we write about are Stone Cliff, Foremaster Ridge and Little Valley, which is the quickest way to picture the ground this office stands on.

What an inspection looks for on a desert house

Homes here fail in different places than homes in wetter climates. Inspectors in Washington County pay particular attention to stucco and the flashing behind it, slab movement in the expansive clay soils east of the Virgin River, evaporative coolers and undersized air conditioning, and irrigation that has been quietly undermining a foundation for years. Roofs age fast under this much sun. None of that is unusual or alarming — it is simply a different checklist, and an agent at Coldwell Banker Premier Realty who works in St. George regularly will know which inspectors read it properly.
