In the high-demand luxury real estate industry of the United States, many agents have difficulty coping with the intense workload that comes with a single focus market. But for renowned agent of ONE Sotheby’s International Realty Burton Wilkins, one market was not enough; now, the real estate agent keeps one foot firmly planted in Southern Florida and the other in his hometown of Ocean City, New Jersey, balancing the two East Coast worlds with finesse.
To handle multiple markets, Wilkins taps into his long-time experience traveling around the globe, knowing the right amount of attention to put into which regions at exactly the precise times. His well-traveled expertise has landed Wilkins an unrivaled rolodex of the world’s movers and shakers as clients, not to mention a nod by Sothesby’s as one of the firm’s top leaders of the international referral program.
Wilkins implements this know-how and worldwide perspective into his native Ocean City market, where he works alongside his father and sister on their Goldcoast Sotheby’s International Realty family team. His father’s own career is what initially inspired Wilkins to get involved in the business, where he now gets to make his own direct impact on the beloved community he grew up in.
“I grew up around real estate from a young age, which made me appreciate living spaces and the way they are designed. My mother was an antique broker with impeccable taste. Her depth drove me to research real estate and design from a young age,” said Wilkins. “My father complemented that passion as a broker. I’d listen to him negotiate deals from the day I could understand what he was talking about. I quickly became attracted to the process of each deal.”
When he moved down to Miami and got his Florida real estate license there in 2010, Wilkins brought the same passion and zeal for the business his father bestowed onto him to the Southern Florida market. Handling massive luxury deals, including the recent closing of a $12.1 million condominium on South Beach and numerous other deals over the one million mark. Wilkins quickly became one of the area’s go-to brokers, known for his professionalism and meticulous dedication to each individual client’s wishlists.
Now, Wilkins expertly navigates the needs of both the coastal New Jersey and Southern Florida real estate industries simultaneously, making waves all up and down the East Coast in the process.
