ABOUT US
The Woods Group was founded on the belief that real estate isn’t just about buildings—it’s about people, relationships, and long-term vision. Born into a third-generation real estate family, Kyle and Sean Woods grew up with the business in their blood and the drive to do things differently.
After years leading billion-dollar deals and shaping retail strategy on a national scale, Kyle launched The Woods Group to bring a more personal, agile, and strategic approach to commercial real estate. Sean, a former professional surfer and marketing analyst with global brand experience, joined to bring his competitive edge and client-focused energy into the fold.
Together, they’ve built a brother-led team that values trust, hustle, and precision. The Woods Group offers full-service leasing, sales, and tenant representation with a hands-on philosophy and a sharp eye for opportunity. Whether it’s scouting a flagship location or crafting a tailored leasing plan, they show up for their clients like they would for family, because legacy is personal.
