The combined talents of the Wicker team provide expertise and assistance in property evaluation, negotiation, demographic data, community attitudes, sales, and acquisitions together with over 125 years of cumulative hands-on commercial real estate experience.
In a business where traditionally eighty percent of the transactions are consummated by twenty percent of the brokers, Wicker & Associates has stayed in the lead as a knowledgeable, aggressive, and dynamic full-service commercial real estate operation.
We welcome the opportunity to assist you with your real estate needs and stand ready to place our resources at your service.
