Real Estate Talent.
Real Results.

When Character and Capability Matter

In a complex and constantly shifting real estate market, success hinges on more than resumes—it’s about the right people, in the right roles, doing the right work. At TalentWoo, we don’t just check boxes. We partner with you to understand your business goals, culture, and the unique challenges of your vertical—whether that’s single-family, multifamily, commercial, or proptech.

Our retained search service combines deep industry expertise with a values-driven approach. We work with integrity, own every step of the process, and stay real with our clients. 

Why Companies Prefer TalentWoo

Industry Focus

Many search firms and staffing agencies have retained search divisions.  But most of them make placements in multiple industries.  TalentWoo is focused on just the one: Real Estate.  We are not a “Jack-of-All-Trades.”  We are a Master of One.

Experience

TalentWoo recruiters have been making permanent placements in the real estate industry for over 20 years.  This allows us to  offer our clients nationwide market intelligence, as well as access to an extensive network of real estate talent.  We know the questions to ask: both of the client and the candidates.

Five Core Values

We are a values-based company. Our core values tell you everything you need to know about who we are, how we do business, and what you can expect when you work with our team of recruiters. We value: integrity; people over profit; ownership of our work; winning as a team; and honest dialogue with our partners.

Quality with Speed

Our clients are pleased that our seasoned recruiting professionals can take on executive level searches for high level roles in your organization, and do so in multiple markets simultaneously.  We can also do volume hiring for time-sensitive, large-scale ramp-ups, but with the same “white glove service.”

Diverse Applicants

TalentWoo is certified through the National Minority Supplier Development Council Inc.® (NMSDC®) as a minority-owned business. We are committed to making sure that we find diverse talent for ourselves as well as for our clients.  Our real estate clients appreciate our ability to deliver quality talent from diverse applicant pools.
