Top-producing California team joins Coldwell Banker Realty

The Joe Velasco Group — a high-performing Silicon Valley real estate team — has joined Coldwell Banker Realty in Northern California, moving over from Intero Real Estate Services, an affiliate of HomeServices of America.

Velasco, who launched his group in 2011, has built a reputation as one of the top-producing agents in California.

With more than $2 billion in career sales since entering the business in 2001, he has been ranked among the top 1% of real estate agents nationally for 12 straight years by RealTrends Verified.

In 2024 alone, his team closed $180 million in sales across 90 transactions.

“We wanted to partner with Coldwell Banker Realty because of their unparalleled support and resources, which will allow our team to continue delivering exceptional service to our clients,” Velasco said in a statement. “This partnership marks an important milestone for us, and we are excited about the opportunities ahead.”

Velasco’s team will now be based out of Coldwell Banker’s office in Los Gatos, California.

Coldwell Banker leaders pointed to the group’s deep experience in the high-end real estate market and its strong presence throughout the Bay Area as a strategic fit for the brokerage.

“Their expertise, along with their extensive reach throughout the Silicon Valley real estate market, has a proven track record of success,” said Jennifer Lind, West regional president at Coldwell Banker Realty.

“Their innovative approach resonates with a diverse range of clients — from discerning homebuyers to luxury sellers and developers.”

Coldwell Banker Realty operates one of the largest residential real estate networks in Northern California, with approximately 4,300 affiliated agents serving markets from Monterey to Lake Tahoe.
