With over 20 years of experience as a licensed real estate agent, Wilmar brings a wealth of industry knowledge and a deep understanding of the intersection between housing, environmental policy, and community engagement.

He has worked closely with the Department of Human Services (DHS) and service providers to foster collaborative solutions that benefit both recipients and employees. His approach emphasizes transparency, shared accountability, and inclusive decision-making.
Wilmar’s journey into real estate development is rooted in a desire to create spaces that serve people first, especially those historically underserved. He is known for his ability to bridge gaps between stakeholders and for his practical insights into navigating regulatory frameworks, including working with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and environmental consultants.

In addition to his development work, Wilmar is a respected thought leader and public speaker. He will serve as the luncheon keynote speaker at the Emerging Developer Workshop on October 9, 2025, at Westwood Hills Nature Center in St. Louis Park, MN, where he will share insights on sustainable development and inclusive housing strategies.
