The business model is primarily commission-based on residential and commercial transactions, supplemented by managed-services fees from vacation rental operations.

Marketing combines digital (content, email, social, YouTube), traditional (direct mail, newspaper, lifestyle magazine), and referral channels via Christie's global network. Recent strategic activity includes the 2026-03-11 acquisition of Walker Realty Group, a new Fort Myers Beach office opened 2026-03-12 through a partnership with Interiors Unlimited, and the appointment of Anna-Marie Ellison as VP of Sales. The technology stack is conventional for the sector — no proprietary AI/ML capabilities are disclosed.
