Great American Realtor Days
Habitat Housing Partner Program
2018 marked Anita Colletti’s 10th year traveling to our state Capitol in Tallahassee along with other like minded Realtor family to discuss our home ownership issues and top priorities with our state legislators.
The Monika DeBenedictis Team at John R. Wood Properties became founding members of the Habitat Housing Partner program. Monika and Michelle mark the achievements of their business by their commitment to building a better, stronger community for everyone. Donations made in honor of their clients throughout the year and during the holiday season of giving make it possible for another family to share the blessing of an affordable home, the feeling of community, and the gift of hope. Since 1978, Habitat for Humanity of Collier County has built more than 2,000 homes in the Naples and Immokalee areas.
2018’s Florida Realtors “Great American Realtor Days” took place during the opening week of session and John R. Wood agents were included in meetings with our Collier and Lee County Legislators. Special thanks to all who take the time from their businesses and family for the benefit of their communities in pursuit of the American dream.

Hurricane Irma
Youth Haven Soiree Fundraiser
After Hurricane Irma devastated SWFL in early September of 2017, Blair White, John R. Wood REALTOR®, felt a need to help his fellow neighbors get back on their feet. He started in the neighborhood where he resides, Lake Park, and then made his way down to Goodland. Throughout the cleanup, he created memories that will never be forgotten. In Blair’s words, “It was absolutely magical to witness our community come together as it did!”
John R. Wood and Gwen Geletka, REALTOR®, sponsored a table for the Youth Haven Soiree Fundraiser. Youth Haven is an emergency residential shelter for boys and girls ages 6-18 who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, neglect or abandonment. Children coming to Youth Haven are severely traumatized and in crisis. All children deserve to be loved and nurtured in a safe environment. Youth Haven provides a safe haven for these children in Collier county
For Blair, it’s a joy and a privilege to help others in a time of need. Blair is a professional REALTOR® that not only runs his business by the Golden Rule, but also his everyday life.
