A Vision That Built a Legacy

Our guiding principals

When John Jacobi founded Windermere Real Estate over 50 years ago, he envisioned a company built on integrity, professionalism, and community. His mission was simple: earn the respect of the neighborhoods where he and his agents lived and worked. That vision led to three guiding principles that still define us today—hire the best people, give them with the best tools, and create thriving communities. It’s a philosophy that has helped Windermere grow into one of the most trusted and respected real estate brands in the country, with over 300 offices and 7,000 agents serving clients throughout the Western U.S. and Mexico.

hire the best people

Windermere’s community of real estate professionals is our greatest asset. While residential real estate is the mainstay of our business, Windermere also has offices and associates who specialize in property management, commercial real estate, and relocation services.

give them the best tools

Our agents have access to a wide range of innovative tools and technology. Through our Professional Development programs, we ensure that our agents receive the best training in the industry, allowing them to serve home buyers and sellers in a way that is truly unique to Windermere.

create thriving communities

Windermere is committed to the communities in which we live and work. Through the Windermere Foundation, our annual Community Service Day, and a variety of community events, Windermere agents, owners, and staff work together to help build and sustain thriving neighborhoods.

Our Commitment to Community

Invested in People, Not Just Property

At Windermere, giving back is at the heart of who we are. We believe in strengthening the places we live and work by supporting those in need, uplifting our neighborhoods, and celebrating the spirit of community. Through service, generosity, and connection, we strive to make a lasting, meaningful difference.
