Doug Brings Entrepreneurial Drive and Multi-Sector Experience
Southern Visions Real Estate proudly announces the addition of Doug Wilkes, a seasoned entrepreneur, to their team of real estate professionals. Since joining the firm, Wilkes has swiftly made a significant impact across multiple sectors of the real estate market.
Working with Developer for Future Residential Project
A dynamic force with a strong background in sales, marketing, and operations, Wilkes has leveraged his business acumen and extensive network to rapidly secure a range of successful deals. Notably, he spearheaded the contract of 41 acres in the town of Blythewood for a local retired developer and with support from the Southern Visions team and relationships, secured a national home builder as the buyer. This proposed project is laying the groundwork for a promising new residential project of over 70 homes.
Wilkes has demonstrated versatility across the real estate spectrum. He has:
-
Sourced and secured commercial tenants and negotiated favorable lease agreements.
-
Sold a diverse portfolio of properties, including commercial buildings, residential homes, and raw land. He has also assisted first-time home buyers and sellers, consulted on rehab projects, and successfully brought investor flip projects to market.
-
Partnered with fellow Southern Visions investors to acquire land targeted for future development in Lexington, reinforcing the firm’s development acumen.
The Right Team
“I looked for the right firm for months, but once I met Robby Wilkins and Gary Bozeman, I knew I found the right place for me to learn, grow, and invest,” said Doug Wilkes. “The accomplishments and experience of the team at this firm have allowed me to complete transactions that would not have happened if I was elsewhere. As I met more people in the firm it kept reinforcing my decision."
Elevating our Capabilities and Reinforcing ourPresence
“Doug’s entry into our team has been nothing short of transformative,” said Gregory Wilkins, Co-Owner at Southern Visions Real Estate. “His entrepreneurial mindset and collaborative spirit are elevating our capabilities and reinforcing our presence in the Midlands real estate market.”
Results through Experience, Local Insight, and Forward-Thinking Strategies
Wilkes brings a technical savvy and an eye for opportunity that aligns seamlessly with Southern Visions’ mission to deliver results through experience, local insight, and forward-thinking strategies. As he continues to grow his real estate footprint, and his rental portfolio, Wilkes remains committed to fostering lasting partnerships and delivering value across commercial, land development, and residential sectors.
He is married to Brittany Wilkes and has three children, Reagan (12), John (3), and James (1). They can be found at volleyball tournaments, soccer games, and on Lake Murray most any week. "Brittany has a demanding job as an Account Manager with Segra Communications, which was recently purchased by COX. She's supported me through this career transition with grace, allowing me to dive in and build my business," said Wilkes.
Wilkes is an owner of Artisan Logistics Inc, a 2006 graduate of The Citadel, and a 2002 graduate of Lexington High School.
