"I attribute the success I have had to faith, family and friends," said Smith. "My wife and three daughters played a significant role with their unwavering support in good times and bad. None of this would have been possible if it weren't for my friends, loyal employees and agents. Coldwell Banker is America's premier real estate brand and the value of being affiliated with them for almost 30 years is immeasurable."
