About Us
We are a community of Realtors® and affiliates dedicated to the mission and values of Women’s Council of Realtors® (WCR). Our chapter is one of the largest in the state of Florida and in the largest classification nationally.
For Realtors®, lenders, title insurance providers and more, WCR means belonging to a group of peers that are the most dynamic and successful in the industry. For the public, to know that the people and companies you do business with are a member of WCR provides assurances that they are professionals that uphold the highest standards of the profession.
The chapter has a high profile in the community, boasting membership that includes the top producers in the industry. WCR members are a caring group of individuals who give back to the community that supports them. The members are involved in the March of Dimes, the Heart Association, the American Cancer Society Relay for Life, as well as local events in Punta Gorda, Port Charlotte, North Port and Southwest Florida.
The chapter provides high caliber educational programs for its’ members, programs for the membership as a whole and scholarship programs for those looking to achieve designations such as LTG (Leadership Training Graduate), GRI (Graduate Realtor® Institute), CRS ( Certified Residential Specialist) and others. Annual fund raising events, including an annual Chinese auction that draws over 400 guests, are how the chapter provides funding for education and leadership development.
