In January, 2001 Wilkinson Real Estate Advisors, Inc. (WREA) was formed to provide all management and consulting services for Wilkinson Group, Inc. (WGI). Personnel formerly employed by WGI are now the WREA team. Founded in 1984, WGI (known then as Wilkinson Properties, Inc., which is now a wholly owned subsidiary of WGI), originally focused on developing new multi-family communities. With the tax law revision of 1986, the direction of the Company changed to the acquisition of existing properties throughout the Southeast with an emphasis on physical renovation and innovative management techniques. With over 20 years of experience in multi-family ownership and management, WGI has shown a strong and successful track record in its field.
