The company is in the process of selecting a southeastern cityfor a new office, then scouting for sites in Arizona and possiblyMexico, which Mower is terming a "wild card" right now inWoodmont's long-range plans. For 20 years, the Ft. Worth office hasbeen the sole hub for Woodmont projects nationwide.

A year from now, Woodmont Realty "will be a firm that will notbe looked at as just a developer and brokerage company," Mowertells GlobeSt.com. "We will be looked at as a solutions provider."And, she emphasizes: "We will have a proven track record."

The company plans to be more client-driven than ever before,stresses Mower. Instead of finding land and then locating a clientfor the project, the new approach will be "to become part of theclient's team and find what they need," she says. The shift will"take place soon," promises Mower.
