Destination Realty Partners with Keller Williams Innovate to Create Destination Residential
Destination Realty Corp (DRC), among the national leaders in developer sales and marketing, is pleased to
announce a new strategic collaboration with Keller Williams Innovate Companies (KWIC). As a result of the new
affiliation, KWIC will manage the new general brokerage team, Destination Residential, enabling DRC to continue
to focus on the success of the developer/builder operation, which produced $180 million in sales last year.
“For 29 years we have built a reputation of successfully building developer sales & marketing programs that
ensure a developer, builder, and their financial partners meet or exceed their sales expectations. With the
creation of Destination Residential, our onsite teams are allowed to keep their focus on developer inventory and
new homes sales while providing the best option for residents with regards to resales within the communities
that we manage,” said DRC President Craig Wheeler. “Not only do we see a solid alignment between both of our
company cultures, but Keller Williams is equipped with the tools specifically designed to manage day-to-day
general brokerage sales. I see nothing but great things ahead for both of our organizations.”
“We are thrilled to partner with their vision of taking the team to a whole new level,” said Ladd Gasparovic,
Operating Principal and CEO of Keller Williams Innovate Companies. “We believe the future is going to be very
bright for both of our companies.”
Under the leadership of Craig Wheeler (Founder), Brannon Lancaster (VP), Andy Garrett (VP) and Dianna
Wheeler (CFO), Destination Realty has built a reputation of being national leaders in onsite developer sales and
marketing and overall leadership. Since January of 2020, Destination Realty has closed 1105 transactions for over
$360,000,000.
