He retired in 1952, he moves to Virginia to be near his son, and together with him opened Clover Realty in Charlottesville, Virginia, destined to become one of the leasing Estate agencies specializing in larger historic Estates and plantations. Development of several quality subdivisions followed.
Panorama International, Inc. was acquired by Williston Clover. The company specialized in selling second homes and retirement homes internationally. It was the first company organized to do so in the US. After opening several international offices, due to a then securities regulations causing all income producing real estate to be registered as a security, the company closed its operations dealing with this product but continued in other areas.
Christopher Clover, Williston L. Clovers son moved to Spain to assume control and eventual ownership of three Spanish operation and has built that into the acknowledged leading real estate agency in Spain.
