Since 1964, EWM has been the door to South Florida's unique, dynamic communities, then the three founders of Esslinger·Wooten·Maxwell,Inc, Inc. had a vision of providing their clients with expanded, personalized real estate services. With that goal, their reputation for quality flourished as rapidly as the community in which they were located. In 1984, Allen Harper, chairman and Ron Shuffield, President purchased the company, they remained true to those ideals. Today, EWM is one of South Florida's largest real estate brokerage firms, with $2 Billion in brokered real property transactions during 2003.

"EWM gives us a stronghold in the South Florida market and a platform from which to expand our presence throughout the state," said Ron Peltier, president and chief executive officer of HomeServices. "EWM is one of the nation's residential real estate success stories, led by a strong executive team who grew the company both organically and through strategic acquisitions. Florida is one of the nation's most compelling residential real estate markets, with a preponderance of second and third homes along with an ever-increasing population. The EWM acquisition provides us with a premier company through which we intend to expand in what is the nation's fourth most populous state behind California, Texas and New York." Peltier added, "With the closing of this transaction, we now reach 16 states. Our combined annualized sales volume will exceed $45 billion with more than 180,000 transaction sides across 16 companies."
