Wilson McGinness, Vice President of Brokerage Services, is responsible for the growth and performance of the brokerage division. With over 15 years of experience working with tenants and landlords on the leasing, acquisition and disposition of commercial real estate, Wilson brings extensive market knowledge to Chattanooga and the Southeast.

Beginning his career in Atlanta working as a real estate analyst tracking key market metrics, Wilson worked for JDK Real Estate where his assignment quickly grew to the Southeast portfolio of 17 warehouses representing over 2 million square feet. He maintained an occupancy rate over 96% for more than a decade. Additionally, he began doing tenant representation work for a national third-party logistics company and their Fortune 500 clients which led him to site selections and lease negotiations for over 10 million square feet of distribution space.

Serving in both a tenant and landlord representation position through his career has allowed Wilson to understand the requirements and roles of both parties to a lease. This insight, as well as an understanding of the economics of a transaction, are the core considerations of his expertise.

Wilson is a graduate of The University of Georgia where he received a degree from The Terry College of Business in Finance. He lives on Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, with his wife, Merrell and their two daughters. When not in the office, you’ll find Wilson outdoors, either running, hiking, boating or fishing.
