Buy easier

You need a partner who knows the neighborhoods, the market and the process. Who can advise you when to think on it, sleep on it or go all in on it. Because this is about much more than a house. This is about your future home. And you don't want to live with it. You want to love it.

Sell faster

There are three things that affect a buyers decision to buy; location, condition and price. It is so important to know the market, know the current rate of homes for sale and recently sold in your neighborhood to ensure you hit the market at the right price.

What's Your Home Worth?

Our new program MyWindermere is an automated tool available to help you determine the value of your home, the equity, and the value of your real estate investment.

You can enter more than one property and keep track of all of your real estate properties in one place.
