Dominating Norfolk Real Estate

William E. Wood and Associates is known for its commitment to excellent client service. It's this commitment that helped launch the company in 1972, when three friends pooled their resources and gave birth to the company that today can proudly claim to be one of the top 50 real estate firms in the nation. And even thought we're still growing, we work the same basic way, using the same basic principle that was in place when we opened the doors of our first office: we put our clients first.

Norfolk is one of Virginia's largest cities. It has a long history as a strategic military and transportation point. Norfolk is home to both the Norfolk Naval Base, the world's largest naval base, and the Norfolk Southern Railway, one of North America's principal Class I railroads. The city is also home to The Chrysler Museum; Nauticus, the National Maritime Center; The Waterside Festival Marketplace; Town Point Park (where festivals and outdoor concerts regularly take place); an international airport; the Norfolk Botanical Gardens; the Virginia Zoological Park; numerous parks and boat ramps; as well as the region's primary business district.
