The acquisition enhances John R. Wood Christie\u2019s International Real Estate\u2019s mission to provide customers with experienced, locally knowledgeable real estate professionals and supports the firm\u2019s continued expansion in key Southwest Florida markets. The multibillion-dollar company, which joined the Christie\u2019s International Real Estate network in late 2022, is 100 percent owned by the founding Wood family, including Chief Executive Officer Phil Wood, President Corey McCloskey and Vice President of Compliance Nikki Wood.<\/p>\n

“Walker Realty Group has established a strong presence in Punta Gorda,” said McCloskey. “This acquisition strengthens our reach in Charlotte County and supports our continued growth across Southwest Florida.”<\/p>\n
