There is a trend in real estate towards alliances, groups, teams and mega teams. Sometimes these teams offer integrated business models with impressive sales and service through a true collaboration of like-minded real estate professionals or through a business managed top-down by the team’s name-sake agent, and sometimes the group is several agents of varying levels of experience and sales success adopting a common name.
The W!N Group is the first type of team. The W!N Group is the result of the coming together of three high-achieving Realtors offering 60 plus years of combined broker/agent experience for our clients. Our founders’ capabilities enhanced by carefully chosen additional agents add up to a win-win for everyone.
We regularly meet to discuss our individual listings, from brain storming sessions, to marketing approaches, to situational updates. And while we each have our own clients, each of us stands by ready to provide an extraordinary level of experience and negotiating skills for all of our clients. When you add in our support staff of multiple assistants, we have you covered no matter what.
We look forward to a long and productive relationship with our clients.

A bubbly, driven, intelligent young woman- Alex has made a great impression on the Keller Williams family. Her willingness to learn and serve helped her to grow quickly in her first 3 years at the company. So, when Kim and Tim approached her to join their team in 2017, Alex was thrilled to be partnering herself with a team that was just like her- more than meets the eye! Newly licensed, Alex has more knowledge and experience under her belt than most new agents in the business. Specializing in transaction coordinating, Alex knows the ins and outs of contracts and what both buyers and sellers need from their Real Estate agent. Priding herself in honesty and reliability, in turn establishes the long-term client relationships Alex values so much.
