Windermere Real Estate Revenue and Competitors

When John Jacobi founded Windermere Real Estate in 1972, he had a vision for the way real estate should be handled: Anticipate and respond to the real estate needs of buyers and sellers, and support the communities you serve. What he didn’t know is that he would also significantly change the way real estate is practiced. This began with the purchase of an eight-agent office in the Seattle neighborhood of Windermere. The company has grown exponentially each year since, setting the benchmark for the practice of real estate nationwide. Windermere pioneered an aggressive commission structure, offers unique agent benefits and was the first to have a searchable database of homes on its Web site
