Based in the Hampton Roads, Va., market, Woods brings more than 26 years of real estate experience as a top-producing agent, brokerage executive and respected industry leader.

Woods joins Real after serving in executive leadership roles for more than a decade, including Team Leader, CEO and most recently, Operating Principal. During her tenure, she helped grow a 200-agent brokerage into one of the top-performing offices in the Hampton Roads market, leading its rise from No. 18 to No. 1 within its regional network and maintaining that position for five consecutive years.

"Cosette has built an exceptional reputation by developing agents, growing organizations and delivering an outstanding client experience," said Jason Cassity, Chief Growth Officer at Real. "Her leadership, passion for coaching and commitment to helping agents succeed embody everything Real stands for. We're excited to welcome her to the company and look forward to supporting her continued impact in the Hampton Roads market and beyond."

Throughout her leadership career, Woods recruited more than 800 agents while helping countless real estate professionals build successful businesses through training, coaching and mentorship. She was named Broker of the Year by the Hampton Roads Realtor Association in 2024 and has served on the association's board of directors. She also served as Vice President of the Southeastern Virginia Women's Council of REALTORS.

"Throughout my career, I've been passionate about helping people succeed, whether that's my clients or the agents I mentor," Woods said. "What attracted me to Real was the people. The leadership team is authentic, transparent and genuinely invested in the success of its agents. Combined with innovative technology and a collaborative culture, Real provides agents with the opportunity to build their businesses on their own terms."

Woods began her real estate career 26 years ago investing in and flipping homes before transitioning into residential sales, where she built a reputation for delivering white-glove service and an exceptional client experience.
