For over decades, I’ve had the privilege of helping build Wilkinson Multifamily Investing into a high-performing real estate investment company with a track record of strong returns. But from the beginning, my goal wasn’t just financial—it was personal. I’ve always believed that business, when led with purpose, can be one of the most powerful forces for good in people’s lives.
That belief is embedded in the values we’ve lived at Wilkinson for years—values like:
Inspiring Quality Relationships
Building Beyond Business
Unleashing Wealth of Life
Innovating Systematic Excellence
Loving People
Doing the Right Thing
These aren’t just aspirational phrases. They shape how we invest, how we lead, and how we treat each other. Every team member is invited to live these out loud—and we’ve structured our incentives, feedback, and rhythms to reflect that commitment.
One of our most foundational values, Unleashing Wealth of Life, captures the heartbeat of how we define success. It means fostering continual growth not just in financial capital, but also in relational, spiritual, human, and societal capital. This holistic framework has helped guide everything from how we hire and develop our team, to how we engage investors, to how we steward the communities we invest in.
Another core value, Building Beyond Business, reminds us that the purpose of our work extends beyond profits or performance. It calls us to use our platforms and influence to serve others, make a difference, and always measure success against what will matter most—beyond this life. Meaning always matters more than money, even in business.
These values haven’t just shaped Wilkinson—they’ve shaped me. They’ve been a thread in every company I’ve led and every investment decision I’ve made. And they’re a direct outgrowth of the same principles that guide my family and personal life.
Wilkinson Multifamily Investing exists for busy people who want passive income that aligns with what matters most. We love working with investors who value both performance and principle—those who understand that how we grow matters just as much as how much we grow.
I’m proud of the Wilkinson team—not just for our 34-year history of industry leading returns on over $3.4 billion in real estate transactions—but because of the kind of people they are and the impact we get to make together. People who show up with integrity. People who show up every day, living our passion to enhance lives while building a legacy of success together.
So while Wilkinson may be a business on paper, to me, it’s always been something more. It’s been a proving ground for what happens when you build systems, culture, and investments that align with deeper values. And it’s one of the ways I get to live out my conviction that the highest calling of leadership—whether in family, business, or society—is to help others grow.
