Our Team & Values
The Wilkinson Family of Companies is an integrated collection of real estate investment platforms transacting over $3.0 billion of real estate over the last 30 years. With a world-class team, we carefully craft and execute plans to create strong passive investment results and bring about a positive impact on people and the planet.

Our focus is on providing apartment investment opportunities by acquiring older multifamily apartment communities. We then create value by improving the properties, optimizing operations, and fostering human flourishing in each community. Our firm has acquired over 14,000 multifamily units and has taken dozens of investment properties full cycle, on average delivering greater than expected investment results. Through multiple market cycles, passive investors have enjoyed strong financial and impact-oriented results on every deal in multifamily apartment investments, returning 100% of all capital plus strong returns.
OUR VISION
To be a world-class leader in building exceptional people and wealth that brings peace of mind, character, strong relationships, as well as financial growth. We intentionally seek to recognize opportunities to make a positive social and environmental impact through every decision we make in ways that also promote a healthy financial outlook. We believe our businesses exist to create an abundant quality of life for our residents, clients, and employees—purposes beyond just passive real estate investing. And we have developed a rigorously disciplined approach to creating strong profit to help ensure the success of each investment and the continuation of the virtuous cycle of positive impact.
In short, the value our clients receive when investing with us is this:
- Three decades of returning all capital plus strong earnings on every full-cycle multifamily fund.
- Top-tier national standards and expertise grounded in small-town family values.
- A streamlined, proven real estate investing process with more predictable results
