The Palm Beach real estate firm founded 23 years ago by businessman Robert Wyner, who committed suicide in April, is closing.

Barclays International Realty is scheduled to disappear officially Monday when Wyner’s widow and Barclays co-founder Shirley Wyner reports for work at the real estate broker Fite Shavell & Associates.

Co-owner Wade Shavell says his company is expecting to hire all 15 staffers from Barclays. While Shirley Wyner will be based at Fite Shavell headquarters at 101 North County Rd., most of Barclays old staff will remain at Shirley Wyner’s old storefront offices on Peruvian.

“I’ve always been in awe of Shirley,” Shavell said. “She called us and asked if she could work with us, and she’s such a great broker that we had to say yes.”

While Shirley Wyner was Barclays’ main sales figure, her husband Robert was its business mind.

It became apparent soon after Robert’s suicide by gunshot in a West Palm Beach parking garage that the company could not survive.

Robert Wyner was found dead April 5 after Barclays was forced to delay a closing because $250,000 in escrowed money from the buyer couldn’t be located. The disappearance of the cash prompted a short investigation by state officials that showed nothing more than sloppy bookkeeping.

    I wish things could have been different between Robert and Jason, maybe they would both be around today. That was Jason’s jacket that he is wearing in this photo. I regret not being a better friend for Jason, it is something I carry with me for the rest of my life. I blame the manipulative nut case who ran the back office for not sharing her concerns with me about Jason. She continues to this day to blame me after Jason killed himself, when I was out of the Palm Beach scene after having happily had lost my job months prior. Working in the back office was a joke, it was more like a smokey bar than an employment agency. The guys at the liquor store knew us by name! We had our fun, the only time we diligently worked was when the owner was in town. I am not surprised my old job is now shuttered, but I just wish I could have kept that job long enough to become a better friend for Jason, and I regret missing any warning signs he may have given to me as I was in a drunken stupor daily those days…..RIP Robert and Jason.
