COLDWELL BANKER

The $5,020,860 cluster in four numbers

Four facts define this industry row: industry label COLDWELL BANKER, $5,020,860 total, 25,787 contributions, 949 donors, with COLDWELL BANKER also the top employer string. Spread evenly, that is about $5,291 per donor and about $195 per contribution. Twenty-five thousand seven hundred eighty-seven gifts from 949 people averages about 27 itemized transactions per donor—again an arithmetic ratio, not a claim that each agent wrote 27 checks in one cycle.

Franchise systems produce messy employer text. Independent contractors, local offices, and affiliated brokerages may write COLDWELL BANKER, a market-center name, or SELF / REALTOR on the same form family. Only the COLDWELL BANKER string is inside this $5,020,860 total. Other realtor labels are other slugs.

Why an industry page for a brand name

LobbyVault’s industry index is built from FEC employer/occupation self-reports. Brand names, universities, job titles, and “retired” abbreviations all compete in the same list because the Commission stores one text field, not a coded sector. COLDWELL BANKER ranks here as a high-dollar string, not because Census classified residential brokerage as this bucket.

Top employer matching the industry name means the rollup is dominated by that exact string rather than a mix of unrelated employers sharing a fuzzy match. Still, the FEC does not verify that the filer held a Coldwell Banker affiliation on the gift date. Treat the 949 donors as 949 people whose disclosed text matched, not as a roster of current agents.

Questions

How much have Coldwell Banker-labeled filers given federally?

Are these donations from the company or from agents?

Most corporate treasury contributions to federal candidates are prohibited; read each row on the donor table for the actual contributor name.

Why do 949 donors show 25,787 contributions?

Unique-donor count remains 949 inside this string. Figures on this answer are limited to that FEC employer/occupation string as indexed on LobbyVault from FEC.gov. Unitemized gifts, state filings, and lobbying reports are omitted and are not added to the itemized total cited here.

Is COLDWELL BANKER coded as real estate under NAICS?

No. LobbyVault industry labels follow FEC employer and occupation text. NAICS is not in the individual contribution file.
