brokerage

Dear Liz: I am a beneficiary of my father’s brokerage account.

It is known today in part for its investments in crypto and its affiliate in the property industry, the Newmark brokerage.

The firm weathered financial industry consolidation, recessions and stock market busts to be one of the last fully independent brokerages based in Southern California.

Her father owned the Great Lakes Carbon Corp., a coal brokerage that became one of the largest privately held corporations in America.

Andrea Gillespie, a spokesperson with Coldwell Banker Realty, said the brokerage offers training and other measures to “promote equitable access to housing for all” and is reviewing the discrimination claims.
