About Me
I'm a Portage native having been born and raised in the local area. My youth was filled with extra-curricular activities and organizations centered around school, family and athletics (mainly soccer). Even with my father's "misguided" attemp to make me a Hoosier, I successfully became a Bronco fan. I graduated from Western Michigan University with a degree in Marketing in April 2000. During the summer breaks of high school & the first few years of college, I worked as a closing agent at Metropolitan Title Company. The last few years of college I worked as a Real Estate Assistant. In June 2000 I received my State of Michigan Real Estate Sales License. In 2001, I received my ABR Designation, in 2004, I received my GRI Designation & in 2009, I received my CDPE Desigantion. On a personal note, I've been married to my husband, Mark, since August 2002. We had a son, Mason, in July 2005 and a daughter, MaKenna, in January 2012. My attention to detail, coupled with a strong desire to provide exemplary service, make an unbeatable combination.

“Team Wilkinson has the perfect blend of experience and professionalism, and that is what made the purchase of our dream home possible!! I highly recommend using Wayne and Wendy for any of your REALTOR® needs. Great REALTORS®, great people.”
– Corey & Megan Scott, Portage, MI
“Wayne sold my parents their home that they’ve lived in for over 16 years, and was so helpful when I started looking at homes. Being a first time buyer, Wayne and Wendy were very patient as I searched for the right home, and very insightful for what to look out for. They referred me to an excellent loan officer, and am so grateful they were my REALTORS®!”
– Stephanie Andrews, Vicksburg, MI
