PALM COAST, FL--(Marketwire - Mar 20, 2013) - Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate LLC in Florida announced today that it has acquired the assets of the Luxury Team of Florida Real Estate Group, based in Palm Coast. The Luxury Team of Florida's nine sales centers will now operate as Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate sales offices. With this acquisition, Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate expands for the first time into Flagler, Volusia and Osceola Counties. Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate LLC is a subsidiary of NRT LLC, the nation's largest residential real estate brokerage company.

"We are pleased to welcome the Luxury Team of Florida to our operations," said Clark Toole, president of Coldwell Banker Residential Real Estate in Florida. "Their professionals bring an excellent reputation in the industry and local community, and we are especially excited that this acquisition will expand our footprint into a new part of the state -- three counties where we previously did not have offices. This further strengthens our leadership throughout Florida and helps us better serve our relocation clients."

Under the leadership of Craig Straky, the Luxury Team of Florida Real Estate Group has provided professional real estate services to the local community since 2009. During 2012, the Luxury Team of Florida Real Estate Group was responsible for more than $97 million in closed sales volume.
