Continuing the Vision

Until the early seventies, real estate was a salesperson’s business.  A home was a commodity to be bought and sold, like a used ‘69 Dodge.  While hard work was a mainstay, the industry lacked a sense of professionalism.  Many of the agents were part-timers and dabblers, and most offices were cramped and shabby.  Things needed to change.

Enter John Jacobi.  When he purchased Windermere in 1972, he had a simple vision for how the real estate company should be run:  Hire the best people, give them undying support, pay attention to the needs of buyers and sellers, and give back to the communities you serve.  For John, it was plain old common sense.  For the industry, it was a revolution.

When considering a hire, John Jacobi asked himself a question.  Will our company be that much better because of this person?  He knew the young company would only succeed if he brought in good, honest human beings with imagination, spirit, and integrity.  This Windermere family would prove to be the company’s greatest asset. 

Today, at Windermere Real Estate Capital Group, we continue to follow John Jacobi’s vision and associate ourselves with the best people - those who are a cut above in their professionalism, generosity, and passion for the business.  People who are committed to servicing their customers, their fellow agents, and their communities.
