Why Windermere?
Why Windermere?
It's about relationships.
In 1972, John Jacobi set out to change the real estate industry by putting relationships before sales quotas, with an emphasis on service to our clients and our community. Nearly 50 years later, this mission has helped grow Windermere into one of the largest independent real estate companies in the nation, with more than 300 offices and 6,500 agents throughout the Western U.S. and Mexico.
While the real estate industry has changed substantially over the years, our core values of relationships, community, collaboration, and professionalism have remained central to how we do business, and will continue to do so for years to come

Photography
The old adage says, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” There is a reason that some adages become old … because they are so true.
The share of home buyers who used the Internet to search for a home increased to 100 percent from 96 percent last year. And buyers who used the Internet found photos (66 percent), floor plans (47 percent), and virtual tours (33 percent) to be very useful.*
In order to make the best first impression, we display only professional photography that will appeal to as many buyers as possible.
Professional photographers have the lighting, equipment, and know-how to showcase your home’s most flattering aspects.
This helps your home stand out from the competition, increasing buyer interest and potentially your final sales price.

Selling your property means the careful orchestration of advertising, marketing and public relations. My goal is to reach precisely the right target audience through key local and national contacts.
One way to achieve this goal is to pique interest with the full-color marketing materials I use to showcase your home. Whether I am presenting your information in a postcard mailing to the neighborhood or in an informative flyer, each piece will exude quality and professionalism.
Another way is to display a Windermere yard sign, which for over four decades has become synonymous with quality listings. 33% percent of buyers say yard signs are among the information sources they use during their home search.*
