Jeff Wakelin | REALTOR®

Luxury, Golf & Lifestyle Real Estate Specialist

With more than 35 years of executive sales, marketing, and negotiation experience, Jeff Wakelin brings a strategic, customer-focused approach to every real estate transaction. As a REALTOR® with John R. Wood Properties | Christie's International Real Estate, Jeff helps buyers and sellers throughout Naples, Bonita Springs, and Estero, Florida confidently navigate one of the country's most desirable luxury real estate markets.

As part of The Wakelin Team, which 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, Jeff provides his customers with the experience, market insight, and personalized service needed to achieve exceptional results.

Before launching his real estate career in 2021, Jeff held executive sales and leadership positions with nationally recognized consumer brands, including SmithKline Beecham, Unilever, and Reckitt Benckiser, where he successfully managed multimillion-dollar businesses. Those years of corporate leadership sharpened the negotiation, market analysis, strategic planning, and relationship-building skills that continue to benefit his real estate customers today.

Jeff specializes in helping luxury home buyers, seasonal residents, investment property purchasers, and lifestyle-focused clients discover the very best of Southwest Florida. Whether searching for a luxury estate in a private golf community, a waterfront residence, a boating property, or a beachfront condominium, Jeff enjoys helping customers find not only the perfect home, but the lifestyle that goes with it.

As a member of The Strand Country Club and a single-digit handicap golfer, Jeff offers firsthand knowledge of many of Naples' premier golf and country club communities. His personal experience allows him to provide valuable insight into club amenities, membership options, course lifestyles, and the unique character of Southwest Florida's most sought-after golf neighborhoods. He also has extensive knowledge of luxury communities throughout Naples, Bonita Springs, and Estero, including Auqalane Shores, Collier's Reserve, The Strand, Isles of Collier Preserve and many others.

Jeff's decades of executive business experience, combined with his Graduate, REALTOR® Institute (GRI) designation, provide clients with the confidence of working alongside a knowledgeable, strategic, and highly skilled real estate advisor. Buyers and sellers appreciate his thoughtful guidance, honest communication, strategic pricing expertise, and solutions-oriented approach. Whether purchasing a primary residence, seasonal retreat, luxury condominium, investment property, or preparing to sell a high-end home, he is committed to making every transaction as seamless and successful as possible.

Outside of real estate, Jeff enjoys golfing, traveling with his wife and business partner, Nicola, spending time with their two adult children, cooking at home, discovering Southwest Florida's outstanding restaurants, and cheering on his hometown Boston sports teams.

Buying or selling a home is one of life's most significant financial decisions. Jeff's commitment is to provide expert guidance, trusted advice, and an exceptional customer experience from the first conversation through closing—helping every customer make the most of their investment while embracing the Southwest Florida lifestyle.
