Doug Wilkes

Doug Wilkes is a commercial real estate advisor specializing in land acquisition, development, and investment strategy at Southern Visions Realty in Lexington, South Carolina.

With a background in logistics and business development, Doug brings an operational, long-term mindset to every transaction. In his first year in commercial real estate, he has closed nearly $10 million in sales, placed over $20 million under contract, and worked on land and development projects ranging from $600,000 to $8 million across Lexington, Richland, and Newberry counties.

Doug’s experience spans landlord and tenant representation, retail, office, and industrial leasing, development and redevelopment, and creative deal structuring, including equity partnerships, NNN leases, build-to-suit projects, and owner financing. He is actively involved throughout the development process, coordinating with engineers, architects, attorneys, contractors, and municipalities to ensure projects move efficiently from concept to completion.

A graduate of The Citadel, Doug credits his disciplined approach, accountability, and resilience to his time there. He is particularly passionate about helping landowners and business owners unlock long-term value — not just through transactions, but through thoughtful planning, strategic partnerships, and sustainable growth.
