Naples, Fla. —John R. Wood Christie’s International Real Estate today announced 2023 closed sales volume of $4.5 billion, more than $1.4 billion ahead of its nearest competitor.*
The multibillion-dollar company, which joined the Christie’s International Real Estate network in late 2022, is 100 percent owned by the founding Wood family and led by President and CEO Phil Wood. It specializes in southwest Florida, conducting business only in Collier and Lee counties.
“Attributed to the motivation, professionalism, and dedication of our 850 agents and incredibly talented staff, we are delighted to extend our market share leadership,” said Wood, recently ranked #122 among the residential brokerage industry’s most influential leaders in the 2023 Swanepoel Power 200. “It brings us immense pride to serve discerning luxury home buyers with unparalleled local expertise and a family-like culture that both agents and customers naturally gravitate toward.”
