Our History
We think our story is pretty special. In 1972, John Jacobi purchased an eight-agent real estate company in Seattle called Windermere. John didn't set out to revolutionize the real estate industry, but he did see an unmet need. That need was for full-time professionals dedicated to helping people realize their dreams of home ownership.
John came from the banking business, which embraced the values of strength, stability and credibility, and gaining trust. When dealing with people's money, bankers needed to embody security and wisdom that people could believe in.
He brought those same values to Windermere and the industry. Certainly a home is, for many, their largest single financial transaction. So John understood that success was directly tied to having professionals who were citizens as well. Who cared as much about the livability and vibrancy of their neighborhoods as they did about their business. It was, and is, a calling.
Thus began a journey that continues today. It's a journey in which every single Windermere citizen-agent believes they are making memories.
Windermere started in Northern California in 2001 in the heart of Silicon Valley. Through the bond of professional and like-minded owners, Windermere is 22 offices strong throughout Northern California.
