David Wood
Living in Central Florida for 20+ years, David is extremely familiar with the development and growth in the area, especially the rapidly expanding Winter Garden/Horizon West and Windermere areas, where he has lived since 2007.
After years in the corporate environment to local church ministry, David learned the value of trust, integrity, and consultative relationships, which are vital in any business transaction. Therefore, he goes above and beyond for sellers and buyers to provide world-class customer service making sure your experience is exceptional every step of the way.
Whether you are an investor, seller, first time home buyer, or repeat client, David tailors your experience to match your specific need and strives to exceed every expectation. He analyzes investment opportunities far beyond the CAP Rates & Projected NOI. His expertise and strong network across multiple industry sectors make him a vital asset whether you are a first time home buyer or seasoned investor.
In real estate since 2005, David remains a student by consistently updating his knowledge of the present real estate market, local trends, and new developments to better assist you. He is also affiliated with the Orlando Regional Realtor Association (ORRA), the Florida Association of Realtors, and National Association of Realtors.
David is passionate about parents spending quality time with their children, especially fathers. So, when he is not working, David enjoys spending time with the three ladies in his life, his wife and their two daughters, and don’t forget their psychotic Jack Russell Terrorist. He enjoys supporting both local and international non-profits (Edgewood Children’s Ranch / Operation Christmas Child), cycling, tennis, poker, and relaxing at the beach with his family.

Raving Reviews
David was an absolute pleasure to work with. He looked out for our interests, had a very deep understanding and knowledge base on the local Market here in Orlando and helped us to negotiate an excellent deal on a house that we were very interested in and subsequently purchased. He has gone out of his way to be helpful in a variety of ways after the sale which has been impressive. He has been a great communicator and is very honest and straightforward with us. I would definitely consider David when it comes time to sell this house and purchase another one in the future.
David was fantastic! From start to finish, he was dedicated to helping me find my first home. Even in a difficult market, David made what would have been an otherwise difficult and stressful process as simple and streamlined as possible. I appreciated his commitment to getting me into my place on a deadline (even before the necessary date!) and for being patient with me as he explained the process every step along the way. I could not recommend David and his team more!
David provided the ideal experience for my family when finding our new home. He incorporated tenured real estate knowledge with updated industry norms/expectations to find the right opportunity for us. Our time was highly valued by David, and it showed in the quick response to communication and unparalleled sense of urgency to get us looking at homes as soon as they were available. Proficiency is key and that is not the highlighted reason for the 5-star review; although worth an honorable mention. Genuine care for my family, personal approach to other things impacting my life at the time and a relentless drive to see that smile when it was all said and done is by far why I highly recommend David Wood. His industry connections provided a seamless closing experience and continues resources are making being a homeowner EASY. Thank you David :)
Having David as my agent made my first home buying experience an unforgettable one for all the right reasons. From the first time we met to the moment I closed on my dream home, I felt extremely fortunate to have him by my side. He constantly went above and beyond to answer my questions and ensure I had the right information for making the best decision and patiently guiding me each step of the way. He properly represented me in negotiations and his market knowledge was reflected throughout the entire experience. With his guidance my home buying experience was a joyful event and it felt like a breeze exceeding all expectations.
Core Group has been one of the most amazing experiences I have ever come across. David, worked with us to find our perfect home. We saw a lot of houses together and David was very patient with us. There was never even a single hint of negative feeling for dragging him to so many houses. Honestly, when we think about moving into another property, or any friends or family asking for a realtor, he is the only one on my list. David is now not only our realtor but a family friend. I highly recommend David to everyone looking for a realtor to help them find their perfect home!
David is a good listener and picks up the little details you're looking for in a house. After our first meeting he immediately got to work searching for houses and setting up automated alerts to notify me of all the houses that matched my criteria. The most important point I want to mention is that David held my hand the whole way through the process. As a first-time homebuyer I was pretty nervous and desperately needed someone to show me the ropes and put me in contact with all the necessary parties, and that's exactly what David did. He made homebuying as smooth and easy as it could be. Thanks, David!

Processes
1
Consultation
We’ll sit down together and help you determine your needs wants and goals while offering my personal industry expertise and strategies for bringing your vision to life.
2
Pre-Approval
Getting pre-approved will help you know exactly what you can afford so you can confidently focus on the right homes. Plus, it shows sellers you’re serious, giving you an edge when making an offer.
3
Property tours
After you have reviewed and selected which homes you want to tour, we go shopping! This is where you can start figuring out what is important and you really want in your new home.
4
Write offer
Once we find the home of your dreams, we'll submit an official offer - including but not limited to sale price, inspection contingencies, and closing date and costs. The seller then has time to accept, reject, or counter your offer.
5
Under Contract or Escrow
With your offer accepted, we enter a 3-day Escrow period. This involves a neutral third party company that holds funds while conducting a thorough underwriting process to ensure all aspects of the contract are upheld properly
6
Inspections
Now that you've found your home we need to order the inspection. The inspection will let you know if any repairs are needed, some are minor and some may be safety issues. Don't worry, you are still protected.
7
Appraisal
The appraisal is ordered by your lender to protect their investment. They have their own checklist of things they look at for the final approval to move forward. The appraiser can demand repairs completed by the seller before they will give their approval.
8
Closing
Congratulations! You now own your new home and can get moved in! It's time to celebrate and have your housewarming and show off your home. We will be standing by to answer any questions you may have about home-ownership and have a list of contractors if the need arises.
