Wade Shealy is one of America’s top leaders in resort real
estate development, marketing and sales. In 2010, in response to a
market need to help second homeowners realize more value in their
ownership, he founded and launched THIRDHOME, pioneering the only
luxury exchange club that includes second homes, residence clubs,
resorts, yachts and private islands.
As Vice President of Intrawest, a premier North American mountain
resort and adventure company, Wade directed sales and marketing for
12 different resorts with locations from New England to the
Caribbean, successfully closing over $500 million in sales
annually. During his years in resort real estate, he developed and
sold more than $3 billion in real estate.
Wade is recognized as the visionary force behind a series of
high-profile real estate development projects, including the
purchase, vision and development of Hampton Island, Georgia, an
exemplary coastal community with one of the lowest impacts on the
surrounding environment. Wade is deeply proud of his three grown
children and the success they are achieving in higher education and
entrepreneurship. He lives on a farm in Franklin, Tennessee where
he raises horses, chickens and bees. Inspired by his early
background in nature preservation, he designed and built a natural
swimming pond on his farm, one of the first of its kind in the
U.S.
