Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, based in Madison, N.J., has appointed Charlie Young as the brand’s president and CEO. The move takes effect on Sept. 1.
It marks Young’s return to Coldwell Banker after serving as president and CEO of ERA Franchise Systems since 2009. Prior to that, he spent five years in senior executive leadership roles with Coldwell Banker Real Estate, most recently as its chief operating officer.
“Charlie Young has demonstrated exceptional leadership skills, solid strategic thinking and a passion for innovation during his 12 years with Realogy,” says Alex Perriello, president and CEO of the Realogy Franchise Group, the parent company of both Coldwell Banker and ERA. “He is well prepared to return to his roots and lead Coldwell Banker into the future.”
Young succeeds Budge Huskey, who retired after spending the past 18 years with the Coldwell Banker system in franchising and brokerage executive roles. Huskey led the Coldwell Banker brand for the past six years, first as president and chief operating officer in June 2010 before becoming president and CEO in January 2013. Huskey plans to return to his home state of Florida where he intends to return to the real estate brokerage business.
