About

Every Home Has a Story. Every Client Has a Goal.

At The Wakelin Team understands that buying or selling a home is about far more than a real estate transaction—it's about helping people confidently move into the next chapter of their lives. That's why they have built their business on a simple philosophy: Knowledge you can trust, strategy that delivers and service you'll remember.

As REALTORS® with John R. Wood Christie's International Real Estate, The Wakelin Team has closed more than $300 million in Southwest Florida real estate sales and has been recognized among the Top 1.5% of real estate professionals nationwide by RealTrends Verified. They are also proud recipients of the John R. Wood Diamond Circle of Excellence, reflecting their commitment to delivering exceptional results and an outstanding client experience.

As a husband-and-wife team, Jeff and Nicola Wakelin offer clients the unique advantage of working with two experienced real estate professionals who are personally involved in every transaction. Together, they combine expert market knowledge, strategic pricing, comprehensive marketing, skilled negotiation, detailed market analysis, responsive communication, and meticulous transaction management to help buyers and sellers make informed decisions with confidence.

While The Wakelin's share the same commitment to exceptional service, their complementary areas of expertise allow them to serve an even broader range of clients.

Nicola specializes in helping full-time residents, relocating families, first-time homebuyers, and new construction buyers throughout Naples, Bonita Springs, and Estero. She is also highly experienced in marketing and selling luxury single-family homes, particularly within Southwest Florida's premier gated communities.

Jeff specializes in luxury homes, golf communities, waterfront properties, beachfront condominiums, seasonal residences, and lifestyle-focused buyers. As a member of The Strand Country Club, he offers firsthand insight into Naples' private golf communities and helps clients discover not only the perfect home, but the Southwest Florida lifestyle that best fits their goals.

One of the advantages of working with The Wakelin Team is their commitment to developing a customized strategy for every client. They never believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every pricing recommendation, marketing plan, negotiation strategy, and transaction plan is thoughtfully tailored to maximize value while supporting each client's unique objectives.

The Team's commitment to expert negotiation also delivers measurable results. Over the past decade, buyers represented by The Wakelin Team have purchased homes at an average of 1.5% below the overall market's list-to-sale price ratio, helping clients maximize their purchasing power while achieving outstanding long-term value.

Beyond the transaction itself, clients benefit from their extensive network of trusted inspectors, contractors, lenders, attorneys, insurance professionals, title companies, and local service providers—resources they've carefully built over years of serving Southwest Florida. From the first consultation through closing and well beyond, they are committed to making every step of the process as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Whether you're purchasing your first home, relocating to Southwest Florida, searching for a luxury golf or waterfront property, building a new construction home, investing in a vacation residence, or preparing to sell your home, The Wakelin Team's mission remains the same: To provide trusted advice, proven results, and a level of personalized service you'll remember long after closing. 

With more than $300 million in closed Southwest Florida real estate sales, The Wakelin Team has the experience that moves you.
