A PROUD TRADITION OF EXCELLENCE

Coldwell Banker VIP Realty, Inc. has a proud tradition of providing excellent service in residential real estate for Danville and the surrounding areas of Central Kentucky. Our real estate agents are true professionals with a commitment to ongoing training and education. Our real estate office is located on Main Street in the heart of beautiful, historic Danville, Kentucky.

History

Coldwell Banker VIP Realty may well be the largest real estate firm in our area but we did not start out this way. Our history is one of hard work and vision. In 1981 Nina Kirkland, our principal broker, decided to open a different kind of real estate company. She envisioned a company where every client would be treated with the same level of service and no property was too big or too small to market effectively. Nina told the Danville Advocate Messenger that VIP Realty represents Very Important Properties for Very Important People. Each and every property and each and every client could be expected to benefit from a high level of service. It is a vision of service our clients have come to expect and that still carries over some 40 years later.

In 1985, VIP Realty became the first Coldwell Banker franchise in the state of Kentucky. As Coldwell Banker VIP Realty, the once small office suddenly opened up to a nationwide network of likeminded agencies that could help us serve both our inbound and outbound clients effectively. The Coldwell Banker brand is one that consumers throughout the nation expect quality from. Innovation, technology, and support are elements of our franchise that are second to none in this industry and provide us with products that we can effectively pass along to our clients. While we are a company rich in history and appreciate consumer loyalty, we are far from being a stagnate institution. It is our mission to continue to provide very important properties to very important people…and that means YOU!

Community

Coldwell Banker VIP Realty has been a fixture in the central Kentucky area for over 30 years. In an effort to give back to the community that has given so much to us, we have joined together to help support several non-profit organizations throughout the years. In 2006, we partnered with Habitat for Humanity to build a home from start to finish for a family in Danville. All of our agents pitched in as builders or fund raisers and worked together as a team to construct this home. Our team was one of only 100 Coldwell Banker franchises across the country to be able to raise all of the necessary funds and build a home from start to finish. Additionally, for the last several years we have partnered with CASA at Woodlawn as a sponsor for the Derby Eve Gala. CASA, or Court Appointed Special Advocates, work to provide a voice for children within the family court system, who might otherwise fall through the cracks. It is a meaningful organization that we are proud to support. The American Cancer Society's Relay for Life is a local and national effort to raise money for the American Cancer Society that culminates in an annual relay where team members continuously walk for an entire evening in an effort to support and remember those who have fought a personal battle with cancer.

This is only a portion of the individual organizations we have supported and continue to support. As the first ambassadors that people meet coming into our community, we feel it is our charge to support and give back to our home.
