Reporting for duty at ... Starbucks?

To help accommodate the tech-savvy ways of its agents, John R. Wood Realtors Inc. is trying to make its offices look like coffee shops.

In a recent news release, the Naples-based Realtor says the new design will help free on-the-go employees from the confines of their desks and cubicles. They're calling it a “cyber cafe”-style office.

“Loosely modeled in the form of a Starbucks,” according to its release, the new John R. Wood office “provides a room for the agents to sit and have a cup of coffee while checking email or listings on their iPad.”

All nine John R. Wood offices will be implementing the new style, according to the company's statement.

Perhaps more importantly, the company is also looking to hire new agents. John R. Wood Realtors currently employs roughly 350 real estate professionals, and serves 2,000 clients throughout Southwest Florida.
