Sixty-Two Years at Windermere Van Vleet Real Estate

Now celebrating its 62nd year serving the southern Oregon community, Windermere Van Vleet Real Estate has a rich history. Robert E. (Bob) Van Vleet established the company in 1954. Louise Myers joined as a sales associate in 1957, and Leo Zupan joined in 1960. In 1964 the three became partners and formed the corporation known as Van Vleet & Associates.

That same year, they purchased a lot at the corner of Third and Lithia Way (375 Lithia Way), and built a single-story brick building, later adding a second story.
