Learn More About Coldwell Banker

Celebrating 51 years of excellence, Coldwell Banker Smith Homes is more than a real estate company—we're a family rooted in our community, dedicated to helping yours thrive.

At Coldwell Banker Smith Homes, we know that buying or selling a home is one of life’s most personal and meaningful decisions. It’s not just about square footage or price points—it’s about finding the place where your story unfolds. For over 50 years, we’ve been honored to help families, individuals, and investors across the Mississippi Gulf Coast do just that.

Our story began with Kenny Smith, a man with a passion for real estate and a heart rooted in the Gulf Coast. From humble beginnings in Gautier, Kenny built a company dedicated to more than just transactions. He created a place where relationships come first, where clients become family, and where homes are about more than bricks and mortar—they’re about belonging.

Today, that legacy lives on under the leadership of Suzanne Cowart Martin, Kenny’s daughter. Suzanne grew up in the business, starting as a part-time office helper and rising through the ranks to become our fearless leader. She’s poured her heart and soul into continuing her father’s mission, expanding our reach, and creating opportunities for both our agents and the communities we serve.

We’re proud to call the Mississippi Gulf Coast home, with offices in Ocean Springs, Gautier, Leakesville, Alabama, and who knows where next. From Waveland to Moss Point, our team is ready to help you with every step of your real estate journey. Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading for a growing family, or investing in a new venture, we’ll be with you every step of the way.

Here’s what you can expect from us:

- Local Expertise: We know the Gulf Coast like the back of our hand, from the hidden gems to the best neighborhoods for your lifestyle.

- Genuine Care: We treat every client like family because, to us, that’s what you become.

- Tailored Solutions: Every home and every journey is unique, and we’re here to make yours as seamless as possible.

We don’t just sell homes; we build relationships, strengthen communities, and help our neighbors create lives they love. So, whether you’re browsing listings online or stepping into one of our offices, know that you’re in good hands.

At Coldwell Banker Smith Homes, we’re not just helping you find a house—we’re helping you find home.

WHERE OUR STORY BEGAN

At the heart of Coldwell Banker Smith Homes, Realtors® is a story of determination, community, and family values. Our journey began with Kenny Smith, a visionary leader born and raised in Piave, Mississippi. A proud graduate of Greene County High School, Kenny’s love for his hometown and the surrounding communities shaped his life and career.

After attending Ole Miss, Kenny eventually settled in Gautier, Mississippi, where he founded Smith Homes & Associates—a company built on trust, dedication, and a deep respect for the people it served. Over the years, that humble beginning evolved into what is now Coldwell Banker Smith Homes, Realtoes®. Though his professional path took him far, Kenny never forgot where home was. Whether visiting family or enjoying downtime at his hunting camp, he always remained connected to the roots that grounded him.

After Kenny’s well-earned retirement, his daughter, Suzanne Cowart Martin, stepped into the leadership role, determined to carry on her father’s legacy. With Suzanne at the helm, the company has grown while staying true to the principles Kenny instilled: integrity, commitment to clients, and a genuine love for the community.

Each member of Coldwell Banker Smith Homes, REALTORS honors Kenny’s vision by serving the communities that shaped him and by upholding the values that have guided us for over 51 years. Our story is one of resilience, growth, and an unwavering commitment to helping families find their way home.

Here’s to continuing a legacy that’s been 51 years in the making—rooted in the past, thriving in the present, and building for the future.
